Comms
Communications
Comms is the communications layer for every Gythr event. Automated triggers, organizer-composed campaigns, in-app alerts, scheduled sends, and delivery tracking, all wired into the same data layer as the rest of your stack. Every message knows who it's going to and why.
The Problem
You're either copy-pasting spreadsheets or fighting your own automations.
Most organizers we talk to are in one of two camps. The first camp exports a CSV from their registration tool, segments it manually in a spreadsheet, drafts an email in Gmail, and sends it from their personal inbox. Delivery is a mystery. Bounces are invisible. The "From" address gets flagged as spam after the third event.
The second camp is worse, because they thought they were being clever. They built fragile Airtable automations or Zapier chains that fire emails on triggers, except half the triggers fire twice, a third of them fire at 3 AM, and nobody can figure out why the cancellation email sent to everyone who registered instead of just the person who cancelled.
Both camps are doing too much work. Both camps are getting the wrong result. Comms replaces both stacks with one system that actually knows what's happening at your event.
Segmentation is manual, error-prone, and scattered across tools
Delivery is opaque: you don't know what landed and what bounced
Communications don't know the event context, so they're generic when they should be specific
How Comms Works
One system for automated triggers, campaigns, in-app alerts, and delivery tracking.
Automate the obvious
Comms listens to the Gythr event bus and fires branded emails automatically when something happens. Registration confirmed, ticket cancelled, waitlist offered, proposal accepted, proposal declined, orientation RSVP'd. Every trigger fires instantly on the right event. No manual sending, no Zapier, no 3 AM mistakes.
Send what you actually need to say
For the messages only you can write ("we changed the venue," "here's the link to day one," "tomorrow's keynote starts 30 minutes later"), Comms gives you a full campaign composer with segmentation by ticket type, role, registration date, and more. Write it, target it, schedule it, send it.
Reach people inside the app too
Comms doesn't stop at email. In-app alerts inside Gythr Here push time-sensitive messages directly to attendees during the event. Schedule changes, room updates, emergency notices, VIP perks. Alerts can be role-scoped and scheduled in advance for time-sensitive moments.
See what actually landed
Every email and alert is logged. Delivered, bounced, failed, pending, opened. You stop guessing whether messages got through. You know.
Why this works
Mailchimp doesn't know which session your attendees bookmarked. Comms does.
Every comms tool on the market is a generic email platform with a Gmail UI. You export your attendee list, import it into the tool, set up your campaign, and hope the segmentation you did in a spreadsheet last Tuesday is still accurate.
Comms is different because Comms lives inside the same data layer as every other Gythr module. When an attendee registers through Gate, Comms knows. When they bookmark a session in Agenda, Comms knows. When they RSVP to a Greenroom briefing in Stage, Comms knows. When their ticket gets transferred through Handoff, Comms knows.
Which means the segmentation you're building is never stale. The triggers you're firing are always correct. The message you're sending can reference the specific session, the specific role, the specific context that no external email tool could possibly have.
That's not a feature. That's what happens when your communications tool is part of your event platform instead of bolted to the side of it.
Everything Comms Can Do
Automated email triggers
Emails fire automatically on event bus signals: Gate registration, cancellation, waitlist, Stage proposal acceptance, decline, orientation RSVPs, and more. Every trigger is contextual to the event and the person.
Campaign composer
Write organizer-composed campaigns for the messages only you can write. Full WYSIWYG editor, scheduled sends, and drafts. Write now, send later, or fire immediately.
Attendee segmentation
Segment by ticket type, role, registration date, check-in status, and more. Segments update in real time as your data changes.
In-app alerts
Push time-sensitive alerts directly into Gythr Here. Schedule changes, room updates, emergency notices, VIP perks. Role-scoped and schedulable in advance.
Branded email templates
Event-branded templates with your logo, colors, and details. QR codes embedded automatically in confirmation emails.
Scheduled sends
Queue emails and alerts for future delivery. Set the time, set the segment, forget about it until it lands.
Delivery logs and stats
Every send logged with recipient, template, status, and timestamp. Dashboard view of total sent, delivered, failed, and pending.
Reply routing
When attendees reply to a Comms email, replies route directly to the organizer inbox on file. No lost messages, no "do not reply" dead ends.
In-app alerts, the honest way.
In-app alerts inside Gythr Here work like push notifications on a native app, with one difference: Gythr Here is web-based, so attendees who want push notifications follow a quick on-screen prompt to save Gythr Here to their home screen and opt into alerts. After that, alerts behave like any other app notification on their device.
For attendees who skip the opt-in, alerts still land in the Gythr Here alert bar so nothing is missed. They just see the alert the next time they open the app.
Alerts can be scoped to specific roles (all speakers, all crew, all VIPs), scheduled in advance, and sent immediately for time-sensitive moments. Whatever the device is capable of, the alert respects.
Connected Modules
Comms listens to every module that matters.
Gate
Registration, cancellation, and waitlist events fire confirmation and notice emails automatically through the event bus.
Stage
Proposal accepted, proposal declined, and Greenroom RSVPs trigger branded speaker notification emails. Speakers get the right message at the right moment without you drafting a single email.
Crew
Organizers can send role-scoped manual alerts and campaigns to all crew members, so volunteer updates reach the right people without a separate communication channel.
Gythr Here
In-app alerts delivered through Comms appear inside Gythr Here for every attendee. Role-scoped, schedulable, and tracked.
Signal
Email and alert delivery stats flow into Signal's unified analytics so you can see communication health alongside every other event metric.
