# Event emails and reminders

The Events benefit includes optional emails for event announcements, reminders, and waitlist openings.

In **Notifications and reminders** on the Events page, you can enable or disable:

* **Announce newly added events**
* **First reminder for members attending**
* **Second reminder for members attending**
* **Final reminder for members attending**

For reminder emails, set how many hours before the event each reminder should be sent.

Click **Edit email** beside an announcement or reminder to edit its copy. Manage the separate **Event waitlist opening** email from **Emails** for the membership tier; it is not a toggle in the Events page's Notifications and reminders panel.

The event waitlist opening email is sent to waitlisted members when capacity becomes available again. Memberply checks for openings automatically in the background. The background job runs hourly, at 15 minutes past the hour.

## Choose when to send reminders

Open **Benefits > Edit Benefits > Events > Edit** and find **Notifications and reminders** below the event list. Enable the reminders you want and set each reminder's number of hours before the event. Select **Save** after changing reminder timing.

Review the on-screen email preview when editing copy. This guide covers the event notification settings; [guest booking email addresses](/events/plus-one-guest-bookings.md#how-members-book-a-guest) do not send guest invitations or subscribe guests to marketing.

For attendance limits and availability, see [Capacity, RSVPs and waitlists](/events/capacity-rsvps-and-waitlists.md).
