What’s new

Automatic event reminders

You can now schedule automatic reminder emails directly from your event page. Within the Autoresponses section, you can:

  • Schedule up to five email reminders 
  • Send them hours, days, or weeks before your event

New event pages include a default reminder two days before the event, so you’re set up for success from the start.

Add to calendar

We’ve added “Add to calendar” functionality to event autoresponses and reminders. Now, when your supporters sign up for an event, adding the event to their personal calendar is seamless and reliable. Whether it’s Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar, your events are just one click away from being saved.

Printed RSVP list

We’ve redesigned the printed RSVP list to make it easier to use at the door. The new layout includes a clearer table, more attendee details, and built-in checkboxes so you can quickly mark who has arrived.

Less follow-up, fewer no-shows

Supporters receive timely reminders with all the details they need: when, where, and how to attend. For your team, this means less manual follow-up, fewer last-minute scrambles, and fewer no-shows. Once reminders are configured, they run automatically in the background.

Built for organizations that mobilize

Whether you’re running a campaign, coordinating volunteers, hosting community events, or managing distributed chapters, events are where the magic of relationship building happens. When reminders are timely and details are clear, supporters feel valued and confident in the process. Now, it’s even easier to deliver a seamless experience where everything feels under control, ensuring every participant, from staffer to supporter, leaves feeling their time and commitment truly matter. Try it out now in the website section of your nation.
