Zuddl lets you easily create multiple event-specific emails using templates and send them to your attendees and speakers directly from your own email address. Learn how to add custom email addresses.
A simple drag-and-drop editor helps you to custom-build your email design and content.
Editing email templates gives you more control and saves the time and effort required to manually compose emails for the different stages, such as registration, reminder emails, and more.

You can edit the default email template to customize the email according to your requirements.
To design a particular email type,
  1. Go to Communication.
  2. Choose an email template to edit, say Registration Confirmation.
  3. Click the edit icon. This takes you to the email editing page.

  4. Select a Sender email from the dropdown. The dropdown menu shows all the verified sender emails of all domains, including the Zuddl default sender (default). You can select a specific sender email besides the default for each email type. The selection you make here will override the default selection you made in the Email addresses menu in the standard dashboard. Learn how to add custom email addresses.
  5. Optional. Under Status, toggle on Active to turn on this email type. This action can also be done from the listing page. This lets you edit the Sender name and Email subject.
  6. In the Email subject textbox, enter an email subject, for example, "Registration Confirmed - <Event name>."
    The character limit for the email subject is up to 100.
  7. Optional. Toggle on the Calendar block to add calendar invite links to the email for Google, Yahoo, Outlook, and Apple.

Edit the email template

If your attendees are using Google Calendar, you should learn how Zuddl's calendar block works on specific settings of Google Calendar.
  • From everyone: The calendar block is added automatically
  • Only if the sender is known: This option adds an invitation block to your calendar only if the sender email is in your contacts or if you've interacted with them before. Learn how to add custom email address for communication.
  • When I respond to the invitation in email: The calendar block gets added only when you respond to the invitation in email.

  • For event series, the setting must always be From everyone, else the calendar block will not work. 

Customizing your email

There are two ways of customizing your email content, as shown on the preview pane:

Edit HTML code

You can edit the default Zuddl email template to customize the email according to your requirements.
  1. Click Edit HTML code to edit the HTML code of the email body.
  2. After you've made changes to the code, click Save email.

You can review the changes by clicking the Test email option at the top, which sends a custom email to your email address. If you want to restore the original template, click Revert to Original.

You can go back to editing the custom code anytime by clicking Edit HTML code. In the same way, you can edit each email template according to your needs.


Important: Changing the event date or time resets the email toggles to default.

So, if your Event invitation email was toggled on, it gets turned off when the event dates are modified. You will be notified of this change via a popup or an email. This resetting is done to prevent any accidental misfires during trial runs. Conversely, changing the event date or time in the email does not change the event date or timing.

Build your email

You can also build your email yourself using email builder tool. Learn how to use the email builder too.
