Guests can add your event to their calendar from the event page and from their confirmation email. Weesify can also send reminders before the event so fewer people forget.
Steps
- Calendar links are on automatically. Your event page shows Add to calendar with Google Calendar and Apple / Outlook (.ics). For repeating events, guests can Add every date to your calendar.
- The Confirmation & ticket email is sent right after registering, with every ticket's QR code, a calendar file and the receipt.
- To set up reminders while creating an event, use the Communication step. By default it includes Reminder · 1 day before and Reminder · 1 hour before.
- To change reminders later, open your event and choose Messages in the event menu.
- Under Reminders, choose Add a reminder and set how long Before the event it goes out. Use Remove reminder to delete one.
- Turn on Also text the first reminder to attendees who gave a phone number if you want an SMS too.
- For events with sessions, set Session reminders in minutes before each session.
- Check Scheduled messages to see what's coming up next.
Tips
- Reminders set in days keep the local time: "1 day before" a 10:00 start goes out at 10:00 the day before, even when the clocks change. Reminders set in hours are exact.
- Use A note in the confirmation to tell guests what to bring or where to meet.
- Change alerts tell attendees when you move the time or place.
Troubleshooting
- "Reminders are off, or every date has started": turn reminders on, or check that the event's dates are still in the future.
- A guest didn't get a reminder: check the address on their registration, and ask them to look in spam.
