Marketing emails and invitations
The email buyers tool will only send messages to the person who made the booking, using the email address entered at the time of purchase. This tool is used to communicate with your buyers directly about the event for which they have purchased tickets.
This feature is not intended for marketing or invitations purposes. Doing so may be an infringement on anti-spam laws.
If you want to email marketing materials to event attendees using your own email system, you can download all customer email addresses using the export data report. It is important to take into consideration the customers preference for Permission to Contact.
