You can send a message to all your guests for your event quickly and easily in the partner portal. You can also schedule event messages as reminders for guests when you set-up your event. You can schedule as many messages as you like.
Note: All messages sent from the system are sent from info@outsavvy.com but the 'Your name' and 'Your email address' you enter as the organiser of the event will be shown when attendees receive the invitation. Attendees see your name and any replies are sent to your address, not info@outsavvy.com.

In the Dashboard menu for your event navigate to Manage Guests > Message Guests. From here you can view previously sent messages and scheduled messages. You can also download a report of each message sent to view the delivery status of each attendee.
2 Create a new message
Click the Create Message button to schedule a new message to your attendees. Fill in the form raking note of the following fields:
