## Using the Post-Event Email 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

<Tip>
  Post-event emails are ideal for including survey links to gather attendee feedback.
</Tip>

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.
