Messages: a fresh and simple email tool
We were asked by one of our clients if it was possible to automatically send an email the day before and after a visit to their exhibition. We hate to say 'no', so we said: sure, we'll build that. The result is a new feature called "messages".
We already had a simple messaging tool where you could chose who you wanted to send a message to, so we enhanced it with a couple of nice extras. You can still choose to connect to Mailchimp if you want, but now you also have a small Mailchimp-alike tool built right into Pierrot.
Manually or automatically?
There are 2 options. One is to send an email manually to your attendees (like it was before), the other option is to do it automatically. If you choose the latter, you have 2 new options: send it the day before or the day after.
In this case, if you purchased a ticket for the exhibition and you booked a time slot for Saturday, you would receive an automated email on Friday with some info and your ticket. On Sunday (the day after the visit), you received a second email with a link to a survey.
Of course you can also choose who should receive the email (i.e. only ticket x, not ticket y, only people who validated their ticket, etc).
Very simple and very effective!
