Can the Admin send Emails from Awardify?
Luke (developer) is working on finalizing a full scale mass email component to Awardify that will include send and open stats to the admins.

As of today, Awardify has the following email functionality:
- Nomination emails — to the person who submitted a nomination, and to the nominee. Admins can edit these emails in their season settings, and can override the emails for each individual category.
- Ticket purchase emails — in the “Events” area of admin, admins can control the contents of the email that sends when a person buys tickets for the gala event (or any other event they choose to create in the Events area of Awardify).
- In lieu of the full email setup, admins can download entrant contacts in the “Entries” area to get lists of entrants by entry status. That way, you can easily grab a list of all entrants with “incomplete” entries, or “finalist” entries, or “winners”, and then pop the contacts into the email program of your choice.
Can the Admin send reminders to Entrants?
- In the “Account” area of admin, admins can enable entry reminders in the “Entry Process” section. There is a checkbox they can turn on and off.
- The first time reminders are turned on, 3 reminders are programmed for every entry that still has a deadline in the future: 2 weeks before, 1 week before, and 2 days before.
- Each morning, the server checks all accounts to see if any entries need reminders. The entry’s status is checked at the time of sending so that people don’t receive inaccurate reminders. “What? I did that already!”
- When valid reminders are found, the emails go out, grouped by member so that people receive a single email listing all their incoming entries instead of a flock of emails every time. The email gives the names and deadlines for each entry, and the website URL where they can log in to complete the entries.
- When an email finishes sending, it is marked as ‘sent’ so that no one gets duplicate emails.
