Using the Post-Event Email Template

  • SimpleTix includes a pre-designed Post-Event Follow Up template.
  • To modify this template:
    • Go to Settings > Confirmation & E-tickets > View/Modify Email Templates.
    • Select the Post-Event Follow Up template.
    • Changes here will automatically update future follow-ups.
  • Ensure that during event creation, you enable the option for automatic post-event follow-up (if available in your event settings dropdown) so that attendees receive the follow-up without manual intervention.

Post-Event Surveys

Post-event emails are ideal for including survey links to gather attendee feedback.

To include a survey in your post-event email:

  1. Create your survey using your preferred tool (SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, etc.)
  2. Copy the survey link
  3. Include the link in your post-event email message
  4. Add clear instructions for attendees to complete the survey

Managing Email Reminders for Multi-Day or Recurring Events

  • Reminders are tied to the specific event time.
  • For multi-day or recurring events, consider creating individual event times for each session if different communications are needed.
  • Alternatively, use the More Options in the Attendee Communication area to target specific dates and times.
  • This approach avoids sending multiple or conflicting reminders and ensures each session receives the correct communication.

Handling Zoom Link Details for Multi-Session Events

  • For events involving multiple sessions or Zoom links, ensure that the correct link is sent to attendees.
  • Use custom fields or include the Zoom link directly in the event description so that the correct session details are included in the email templates.
  • If a Zoom link needs to be updated post-scheduling, resend the event communication using a manual email blast through the event’s Attendee Communication section.

Contact Event Organizer Email – Clarification

  • The Contact Event Organizer email is managed within Settings > Store.
  • This email not only goes to the site owner but can also be customized according to your needs at the store level.
  • When customizing, ensure that changes are saved correctly and note that this setting applies site-wide.
