The Challenge

Drowning in Pre- and Post-Event Tasks?

Manually managing communications for events is time-consuming and prone to errors.

Manual Reminder Hassle

Staff spend hours sending individual or batch reminders before events.

Generic Follow-ups

Sending the same post-event message to attendees and no-shows is ineffective.

Inconsistent Timing

Messages sent too early or too late reduce impact and cause confusion.

Lack of Personalization

Generic communications fail to acknowledge specific sessions or attendee status.

Missed Opportunities

Failure to promptly follow up with engaged attendees or re-engage no-shows.

Channel Preference

Relying solely on email misses opportunities to connect via text.

The Solution: Automated Workflows

Trigger Communications Based on Actions

Use Gecko's Workflow Automation engine, triggered by the Event Management module. Set up workflows that automatically send specific emails or texts when someone registers, checks in, doesn't show up, or based on time proximity (e.g., 1 day before, 1 hour after).

  • Event-Based Triggers

    Automate based on registration, check-in status, or time.

  • Set-and-Forget Sequences

    Define the entire communication flow once per event type.

  • Reliable Delivery

    Ensure timely messages are sent automatically without fail.
