Broadcasts

Send email updates to your community or event attendees.

Send email updates to your entire community or event attendees. Keep everyone informed about new events, announcements, or special offers.

Who Can Send Broadcasts?

Host admins and co-hosts can send broadcasts. You can't send them yet if you're not a host or co-host.

Send a Broadcast

You can send a broadcast from either the web dashboard or the Eventship mobile app.

On web: Go to your event or community dashboard and click "Send Broadcast." The editor supports rich text, inline images, and links.

On mobile: Open the event, tap "Message attendees" in the Host tools card, write your subject and message. The mobile composer supports bold, italic, bulleted lists, and links via the format toolbar, plus a write/preview toggle so you can see the rendered email before sending.

Either surface lets you filter recipients by registration status and ticket type, and optionally send a preview to your own inbox first.

Choose Your Audience

Send to:

  • All community members
  • Members of a specific tier
  • Attendees of a specific event
  • Everyone who's followed you

Pick one audience per broadcast. You can send multiple broadcasts to different groups.

New Event Notifications

When you create or publish an event, followers only get an automatic save-the-date email if Save the date was turned on for that event. If Save the date was off, followers are not emailed automatically — send a broadcast to everyone who's followed you if you want to announce the event manually.

Save-the-date emails go to followers with email notifications enabled. Followers can turn these notifications on or off from the host page or notification settings.

Event Change Notifications

Registered attendees are notified when you make major event changes like the date, time, or location. Eventship gives hosts control over sending that update notification when those details change.

Other edits, like changing the title, description, image, or minor copy, update the event page immediately but do not automatically email attendees or followers. Use a broadcast if you want your audience to hear about those changes.

Message Best Practices

Keep it short. Include a clear call to action. Tell people what you want them to do. Add event links, registration links, or survey links.

Plan Limits

Free plan: 2 broadcasts per month. Pro plan: unlimited broadcasts. Upgrade anytime to send more.

When to Send

Broadcasts arrive in people's inboxes immediately. Send when you think most people check email—usually mornings or early evenings. Avoid late nights or weekends unless it's time-sensitive.

Can't Unsend

Once you hit send, the broadcast goes out. Drafts let you prepare ahead of time. Preview your message before sending.
