How to Disable Session Email Reminders
Last updated May 10, 2022
Emailed session reminders are helpful for virtual attendees using the desktop experience; however, they may not be ideal for app users/in-person events for the following reasons:
- A reminder is sent to the primary email address instead of appearing as a push notification on the mobile device/app.
- Clicking the link in the session reminder email sends the mobile device user to the browser instead of the native app.
How to Enable/Disable Emailed Session Reminders
- Select an event and click the Edit Event button on the top right-hand-corner of the screen.
- Select the Schedule tab from the left-hand panel and scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Under Email Reminders, select:
- Yes if participants should receive emailed session reminders (Recommended for virtual events)
- No if participants should not receive upcoming session reminders (Recommended for in-person events)
