Communications

Setup > Communications is where you email your attendees and control the automatic notifications your event sends.

Send a message

Messages is a Pro feature.

1. Open Messages.
2. In To, pick a group (all attendees, unpaid, waitlisted, team captains and so on) or search for one player.
3. Write a Subject and Message. Click Send test to me if you want to check it first.
4. Click the send button.

Players get it from your tournament name via OWR. Their replies come to your email, so you never give out your own address. Players you added by hand without an OWR account cannot receive email; a warning lists them before you send.

Messaging switches off 30 days after your event ends.

To ask a player to fix their army list, use Request List Resubmission on Attendees. It brings you here with the message started. See Reviewing Army Lists.

Automatic notifications

Under Email Settings (click Save after changes):

• Player notifications enabled is the master switch for player emails and push notifications for this event. Turn it off to pause them, for example while you test pairings before the day.
• Daily registration digest sends you one summary email a day instead of an email per sign-up and payment. It applies to every event you run.

To see what players get, choose a Notification Type under Preview Notifications and click Send Test. It comes to you with made-up data.
