Emails

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.
