Send Email (Registration)

The Send Email page is one of several emailing tools available in the Conference Manager suite. To access this tool, click Send Email from the Registration Admin Page data grid.

This tool is principally used to contact registrants for a conference according to specific criteria, though it can also be used to contact all registrants.

Creating your Recipients List

The recipients for emails created using this tool are the registrants who were shown on the Registration Admin Page's data grid when the Send Email button was clicked.

This means that any filters which have been applied to the data grid are applied to the recipient list - including search terms and filtering from the Statistics page.

For example, if you wanted to email all people who had registered for a specific workshop to let them know of a time change, you would follow these steps:

Click Statistics from the Registration Admin Page
Click Workshops to see a list of all workshops offered
Click on the name of the specific workshop to see a list of people registered for that workshop
Click Send Email to compose an email to these people only.
