    How event emails are sent

    Which emails go out automatically, who they come from, and what to do when one does not arrive.

    Confirmations, ticket changes, transfers and your own event updates are all sent for you. You do not need to connect a mail account.

    Table
    EmailWhen it is sent
    Entry confirmationImmediately after a successful payment
    Ticket changeWhen an entry is upgraded, moved or cancelled
    Transfer invitationWhen a place is handed to someone else
    Event updateWhen you send an update to participants
    The automatic emails around an event.

    Notifications are email only

    There are no push or in-app alerts. Everything important reaches participants by email.

    If an email did not arrive

    1. Check the participant record for the exact address used at checkout.
    2. Ask them to look in spam and any promotions folder.
    3. Re-send the confirmation from the participant list.
    4. If it still does not arrive, raise a support case so delivery can be checked.
