Yes! Using the Accelevents Engage Module, you can quickly and easily upload contacts and send email updates to your guests.
Important Notes:
To use the feature, your Stripe or Square account must be connected. There is no extra charge, and we won't charge your attendees. It just has to be connected.
Event admins will be limited to 6 email blasts per event
The default number of contacts that can be added is 5 - if you require additional contacts to be added, simply contact Accelevents support staff directly to increase it.
You can still use the feature even after the event ends, but you can only send emails by selecting "Now," and you CANNOT "Send Later"
