MailJet is an SMTP service that seamlessly connects with AEvent, enabling you to send emails to attendees upon registration.

Furthermore, it lets you schedule reminder emails leading up to the event and set up prompts for post-event follow-ups.

Once configured, it provides a fully automated email delivery process.
