Set Up Comms in 5 Steps

Brand your automated emails, send a test, and reach attendees with alerts and targeted campaigns.

1

Step 1: Review your automated templates

Open Comms and go to Email Templates. Gythr sends these automatically on triggers like registration confirmations, waitlist confirmations, and speaker proposal decisions.

Read through each one so you know exactly what your attendees receive.

Step 2: Brand your emails

Customize the wording, subject lines, and content of each template. Your event logo, colors, and sender name carry across every message, so the emails look like they came from you, not from Gythr.

Pro tip

Keep subject lines short and specific. "Your ticket is confirmed" beats "Registration confirmation".

Step 3: Send a test email

Before anything goes out, send yourself a test of any template so you can check the wording, links, and branding on a real device.

Step 4: Post an Attendee Alert

Attendee Alerts are the tool you will reach for most during a live event. Push a schedule change, an announcement, or an emergency notice straight to attendees' phones in Gythr Here.

Choose a type and priority, target who sees it by registration status, and publish now or schedule it for later.

Step 5: Send a targeted campaign

Use Campaigns for one-off bulk emails, segmented by registration status (for example, everyone waitlisted, or everyone checked in). Full delivery logs show you what landed and what did not.
