Out of the box Contrast offers you email reminders. The following sequence is set up by default.
Confirmation email with a calendar invite
Reminder email, 10 minutes before the webinar goes live
Replay available, 10 minutes after the webinar is over
Email settings are automatically copied over from one webinar to the next so that you don't have to change them every time.
How to change the default reminder emails
You can edit the default reminder emails. Simply click on the edit icon. This is what you can edit:
Subject
Email body
Button label (it is not possible to change URL the button redirects to)
When the email should be sent
How to create more reminder emails
You can add as many reminder emails as you like. Simply click on new email and decide to who you want to send this email:
People who registered to your webinar (everyone)
People that watched your live webinar
People that missed your live webinar
Now you can edit the text and decide when you want to send out this email.
Calendar invites
Calendar invites are automatically added to all emails we send out to your registrants. We make use of the industry standard .ics which is recognized by most email and calendar apps such as @gmail, @outlook and @yahoo.
How to use the email editor
By default, we'll send registrants a reminder to guarantee a high turnout rate for your event. If you want to customize these emails, that's possible.
