Updated March 11, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Emails for Webinars are critical to engage with registrants and often organizers feel the need to customize the content. To enable this, we are rolling out two features.
- The content of the emails (i.e. all webinar related attendee emails) can be edited by the event organizers. This is reserved for Teams Premium licensed organizers.
- Time to send reminder emails can be configured by the event organizers. This is reserved for Teams Premium licensed organizers.
