Media Options
A picture is worth a million words, right? Utilizing photos & short video clips can help set your Event separate from the rest. AEvent supports several different integration / communication channels that support multimedia use. We 100% recommend utilizing 1 or more Integrations that utilize this medium.
SMS / MMS (Picture Messages) - As a Best Practice, we recommend using our native Twilio integration. BUT AEvent supports several different SMS/MMS platforms, enabling you to deliver SMS messaging to your audience at all the right times.
WhatsApp - WhatsApp is the #1 messaging platform worldwide. We support 2 different integrations to help automate your WhatsApp messaging flows.
Next Level: Combine AEvent + Messaging App + NiftyImages, and send out personalized dynamic images to your registrants, targeted personalized messages to your cart abandoners, and more.
Ringless Voicemail Recording - Depending on your target demographic, secretly delivering a Voicemail message without their phone ringing can have great success in getting across an audible message.
Google Calendar Integration - Regardless of Delivery Platform you are using, we recommend G'Cal to send out a reminder to your registrant's inbox.

An AEvent Timeline and How It Works
Tons of work goes into putting on a Live Event. Whether that is Online or Offline. From the first invites to the final thank you, that full production is an exhausting experience.
Then to think about doing that on a Monthly, Weekly, or Daily basis, becomes unimaginable.
AEvent strives to remove 100% of the tasks and effort it takes to hold your online Event, Webinar, Workshop, Mastermind, Challenge, or Meeting.
We're also in it to help you maximize your results from your VSL / Sales Page based traffic with AConversion!
An AEvent Timeline defines every single thing that occurs with your Online Event. From Registration First-Contact to Final Call. It IS the template of your Event and everything that occurs before, during, and after.
With our Timeline tool, you can get both a Micro and a Macro view of your Online Event. From the macro of a month to the micro of a day. With a 7-day week-view in between.
An AEvent Timeline operates in a way where it can be built to be a One-Time Single-Use Event, or the opposite of that, an Evergreen Timeline. Our Timeline Technology operates seamlessly between different Delivery Platforms, so you never need to feel stuck and locked into a single solution.
Timeline Action Builder
Within your AEvent Timeline, the core tool is our Action Builder. Every "Action" that occurs with your Event is scheduled using it.
That could be from an SMS sent to the Registrant reminding them of their upcoming Event, or it could be an Action to send all Cart Abandoners to Google Sheets.
Everything is defined here, let's go over the action builder and its elements.
Action Execution Time 'When'
If using an Evergreen Timeline Type, you can select the day on which you want to create the action within any of our views. The top of the Action Builder displays the day selected.
If using a Live Timeline Type, the Day selection will display the time/day on which the action will occur.
When defining the Time that the action is to occur, you can select either Relative Time or Exact Time.
Relative time, is in relation to the time of day that the event is scheduled for. (5 Hours)
Exact time, is set for an exact time of day. (5 PM)
As a best practice, we recommend using the exact time outside the day of the event and the relative time on the day of the event's actions. This will enable you to schedule your event at different times of the day. An Action that is set for 4 hours before, will always occur 4 hours before, whether the Event is occurring at 12pm or 8pm!
Audience Targeting 'Who'
When selecting the audience you are targeting, if you are setting your action to occur BEFORE your event, you will only have the Audience selection of 'Registrants' (or any other custom audience that doesn't include Attendee data). If you are setting your action to occur AFTER your event, you can target Attendees and Non-Attendees (and any other custom audience you've created).
Integration Selection 'What'
The final selection within the Action Builder is the most important. This is where you will select the Integration details for the action you are creating!
Before you can select your Integration within the Action Builder, please make sure you've activated it within the Timeline!
