The Emails tab gives hosts a clear view of the email types available, when they'll be sent, and the target audience for that email. Hosts can control email invitations. Email invitations are separated from ticketing restrictions so hosts can control when and how the emails are sent. In addition, hosts will be able to see the history of emails that have been sent.

Prerequisites for managing the Zoom Sessions Emails tab

• Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education account
• Zoom Sessions Unlimited license or Zoom Sessions Pay Per Attendee license
• Stripe or PayPal Business account is required to create paid events

Note: For access to the latest Zoom Events and Webinar features, we strongly recommend hosts to update to the latest version of the Zoom desktop client/mobile application.

How to access the Zoom Sessions Emails tab

1. Create a single-session event or recurring sessions event.
   You can also edit an upcoming event to access event setup.
2. In the navigation menu, click Communication, then click Emails.
   The Emails page will appear.

How to understand the Emails tab

The Emails tab has 2 sections of emails: Attendee Emails and Other Emails.  These sections are collapsible.

Information about emails related to the event are displayed in a table so you can see what emails have been sent at a glance:

• Email Name: The type of email that will be sent.
• Audience: The audience that will be sent the email.
• Schedule: When the email will be sent.
• Emails Sent: The number of emails sent in total to an audience.

Note: Only qualified attendees, who have participated for more than 10 minutes in a session, will receive an Event Survey email.

How to send all email types

1. Access the Emails tab in the Zoom Sessions event setup.
2. Select the checkboxes of the email that you want to send.
   You can also select the checkbox to the left of Email Name to select all emails. 
3. At the top of the page, click Send Now.

Understand sending emails

When hosts use the Send Now button, the email will be sent unless:

• The attendee has opted out of event emails 
• The ticket is excluded at the email level
• The attendee has already received that email before 

No emails can be sent manually before an event is published. Emails can be triggered either before or after an event has ended and follow the below logic:

• Invitation emails: When the host clicks Send Now, the email will be sent any time before an event ends.
• Event Reminder: This email can be sent any time before an event has ended.
• Event Survey: This email can be sent any time after the event has ended.
• Recordings are Available: This email can be sent any time after the event has ended.
• Confirmation emails (free ticket, pre-registration, and special roles): This email can be sent any time before the event has ended.

The email is sent only to the right audience that qualifies for it. Additionally, the Send Now action is not resending an email; if you have already sent an email type, it will not be sent again (the exception is the Event Reminder email).

Resending a previously sent email must be initiated through the Emails Sent section.
