Automate your post-event emails
Build rules that automatically send an email after an event: feedback, thank-you notes, quote follow-ups — with delays, conditions and dynamic fields.
Asking for feedback two days after an event, following up on a quote still in option, thanking a client: these emails always go out too late when sent by hand. Automations send them for you, every day, following rules you define once.
What you will learn
- Create a rule from scratch or from a template
- Configure the trigger, delay, conditions and email
- Track the send history and understand statuses
Prerequisites
- Pro plan (or free trial). The Basic plan does not include automations.
- Workspace owner role to create, edit or delete a rule (other members can view them).
- Connected mailbox. Emails are sent from the event owner's Gmail or Outlook account — each member connects theirs in Profile > Emails.
Create an automation
- Open Settings > Automations, Workflows tab.
- Click New automation, or start from a template: “Post-event feedback D+2” or “Unsigned quote follow-up”.
- The rule opens in the editor. It is inactive by default: nothing is sent until you switch it on.
Workflow steps
- Trigger. Two options: “Event ended” (the end date has passed) or “Status changed”. Then pick the statuses it applies to: Confirmed, Option, Lost, Cancelled.
- Delay. From 0 to 365 days after the trigger, with a “Preferred send time” (9:00 by default). The timezone used is the event venue’s.
- Condition (optional). Checks a piece of information before sending: Contact email, Event type, Venue or Number of guests — with the operators “is filled”, “is empty”, “equals”, “is different from”, “contains”. If the condition is not met, the email is skipped for that event.
- “Send an email” action. Write the subject and body, and insert dynamic fields: {client_name}, {event_title}, {event_date}, {venue_name}, {owner_name}, {company_name}… A rule holds a single email action.
Test, then activate
- Use “Send a test email” to receive the real rendering in your inbox (subject prefixed [Test]).
- Click Save.
- Activate the rule with the switch at the top of the editor. Active rules run automatically every day.
Track the send history
Each rule shows its “Send history”: Sent, Failed, Skipped or Pending, with the date. An event never receives the same email twice: a Sent or Skipped execution is final for that rule.
FAQ
Why is a send “Skipped”?
The event has no owner, or its owner hasn't connected Gmail/Outlook in Profile > Emails, or one of the rule's conditions wasn't met.
Can I send two different emails for the same event?
Yes: create two rules (for example a thank-you at D+1 and a review request at D+7). Each rule carries one email action.
Who can create rules?
Only the workspace owner. Members can view rules and their history.
