Send reminder emails for a converted Simulated Live event

When you convert a Live event into a Simulated Live event or change a Simulated Live event from live acquisition to pre-recorded content, the Event Reminder Emails option is no longer available. To send reminder emails for a converted event, create a follow-up email and use the "did not attend" option to send it to registrants (that haven't attended it yet).

Schedule and send reminder emails

To schedule reminder emails for a converted Simulated Live event:

  1. Sign in to the Webcast Admin portal and edit the event.
  2. On the left panel, click the Email & Marketing tab.
  3. In the Audience Emails section, under Follow-up Emails, click + Add New.
