GatherPress includes an emailing system for event communication.
Emails are sent using WordPress’ mail system (so delivery depends on your hosting and/or an SMTP plugin).
It covers different needs:
- Organizer emails to participants
- From the event admin UI, organizers can compose a message and email specific groups linked to the event.
- Typical recipient groups include:
- All Members: it will email every user of the website (unless they opt-out in their profile for such messages)
- Attendees (people who RSVPed “yes”)
- Non-attendees (people who RSVPed “no”)
- Waiting list (when an event has a limit)
- RSVP confirmation without an account (email handshake) See more under the RSVP system section.
