Ability to schedule follow-up event email to attendees
I would like the ability to be able to schedule a follow-up email to all attendees of an event when the event is built.
We send out a customer satisfaction survey to all overnight/fly trip participants, and it would be great to just pre-load these in the event as we do Reminder emails and other customized event emails so they can go out consistently a few days after the event is over.
Currently there is no way to schedule a customized email to go out automatically AFTER the event is over.

We would also like to have an automated email system for post event follow ups. Please let us know if it becomes available.

Evgeny, any updates on this request? It's been 9 years since the original idea was posted. Thanks.

Our organization has submission events that last for multiple days with the end of the event being the deadline. Currently we can only manually "send now" announcement and reminder emails regarding the approaching deadline, because announcements and reminders have to be before the start date of the event.

YES we need the survey to be sent AFTER the event, not a minute before the event starts -_-

In "Events" you have email announcements and reminders. I'd also like to be able to do a Follow-up email after the event that goes to participants.

Options for emails AFTER events under event emails. (Able to schedule and isolate those who attended versus those who registered but didn't show up)

This would also be really useful to remind event registrants to register for the next event. We have a monthly class and participants register each month.

This would be a lovely update to WA... we're consuming time scheduling and doing these post-event emails manually. A hack of being able to enter a negative date on a reminder would be reasonable at this point.

I would like to send an automated email after an event to those who checked in - to solicit feedback.

I agree that this would be a huge timesaver to have an email scheduled for a day or two after the event.
My preferred recipient list would be "checked in" attendees, but maybe we could select all registrants or even "not checked in" registrants so we could say sorry you didn't make it.
Right now, we can manually email any of those groups by sorting the registrant list before hitting "Email" in the top corner--but that's all based on an admin remembering to get there and put it together.
Please :)

You can set up an email to go out at the same time as the event starts, so that people can see it once the event is over.

I will add my desire for this feature to be escalated to be in the next release of software. This is long overdue and should be easy to deliver. You already have emails configurable on the event, we just need to be able to configure them to be sent after the event occurs. Having the ability to send follow-up emails (2 or 3 of them) would be very beneficial as we do it for all our events.
The workarounds suggested in earlier comments is over-burdensome on our chapter leadership and makes for a mess that must eventually be cleaned up.
This feature needs escalated to the top of the list to work on. Your community has been telling you this for years.

Nothing to comment so far, this is in the wishlist. As soon as we take it into works, we will post an update here.

This request looks like it was entered over 7 years ago & still isn't available? 37 comments confirming need to the ability to send emails AFTER an event. 109 Votes for this. How do we get this escalated? I don't see any comments from the technical group?

I would like the option to email ATTENDEES (not just those that registered) after the event. Like a thank you/survey/followup.
Right now it does not seem clear unless I create an advanced search which seems too complicated. It should be right there within the event, under the emails OR if you select Email Registrants - you should have the option to email attendees only, no shows only, all, etc. Give us MORE OPTIONS. -

Please prioritize this enhancement soon. The organization I support consistently needs this capability to follow up with event registrants after the event. I was hoping to be able to schedule this out with a customized reminder, but cannot schedule emails within an event after the event. UGH!

Please consider adding this functionality. We are presently using the manual workaround for post-event emails such as certificates of completion and program evaluation surveys. It would be so helpful to have an email option in the event window to send post-event emails, similar to announcements and reminders. Many thanks!

I am finding in several associations that I support that being able to easily send a post event email (such as a post program survey, certificates of completion) would be very helpful. The work around is to temporarily change the date of the event, create a "reminder" , send it and then put the correct date back in. But being able to send a message to all those checked in or those who did not check in after the program would be a very nice feature.
