Create Engage Emails
Go to Engage > Send Email
Click Create New
Select the audience you would like to send your email to. You will see all your contact lists, and you can also send emails to attendees based on their registrant status or ticket type.
Add the Email Subject and compose your email
Customize Engage Emails
To customize your email, simply drag page elements to the template. Click the added element to see the settings on the right menu. If it's a text element, you should also see a toolbar on top of it for more setting options. To delete an element, select it and click the trash icon.
Note: There is no option to attach a file to the email. However, you can add a button to your email that redirects to a link where they can download your file (e.g., Google Drive or Dropbox)
Add Dynamic Values
You can add dynamic values or merge tags to your email to make it more personalized. For example, you can place a dynamic value for the first name in an email template so that the greeting includes the recipient's name rather than a generic “Hello!” The system will replace these variables with contact information and event information present in our system.
Click View Dynamic Values to see what values you can add to the engage email.
