EventOn Subscriber Add-on

Event followers often check a calendar once and never return. This add-on gives them a way to stay in touch. Visitors sign up for calendar updates, and the plugin sends email alerts when new events are published, so organizers do not have to write each announcement by hand. Subscribers can also sync to MailChimp for wider email campaigns.

Placement and control are flexible. You can put a subscribe button in a calendar footer or drop one elsewhere on a page, open the form in a lightbox, and let people follow only the event categories they care about. Subscribers can change their own preferences on the front end. It suits businesses, nonprofits, entertainment venues and community groups that run events on EventON.

Features

• Subscribe buttons with shortcodes: Place a subscribe button inside any calendar, or use a shortcode to put a separate button on any page or post where visitors are likely to see it.
• Follow specific event types: Subscribers pick the event types that interest them, so the updates they receive match what they want to attend.
• Automatic new event emails: When you publish a new event, the add-on sends an email notification to subscribers without any manual sending.
• Lightbox subscribe form: A customizable lightbox form can be triggered from anywhere on your site, giving visitors a clean way to sign up.
• Front-end subscriber management: Subscribers can unsubscribe or switch event types from your website themselves, which saves you from handling these requests in the admin.
• MailChimp synchronization: Sync your subscriber list with MailChimp so you can use that service for your wider email marketing and audience management.
• CSV export of subscribers: Download the full subscriber list as a CSV file for offline use or for moving the data into other tools and platforms.
• Editable email content: Change the subject lines and body text of confirmation, verification and new event emails so they match your brand voice.
