Automate Your Emails…
Save time while ensuring your emails always go out when you want them to with automated emails. Whether it’s a notification about a price increase or regular reminders about your referral program, automated email lets you set it and forget it.
Price Increase
Emails
Never forget to send a notification that prices are increasing! Automated price increase emails are tied to your race data to send past participants a reminder to sign up again, and current participants a push to invite their friends.
Incomplete Registration Emails
Bring back undecided participants with an automated email for anyone who abandons their cart before completing registration. This simple-to-enable email ensures you’re never leaving revenue on the table!
Registration Follow-Up Emails
Keep in touch with your participants and expand your funnel with automated registration follow-up emails. Promote whatever goals you have for the event (like referrals or fundraising) and set to send at a specific interval after registering, or on a set date.
