Publishing & sending
How does Nimanto e-mail my guests?

In short
Publishing e-mails each guest who has an address their invitation with their personal link, once. Afterwards, the Send icon on a guest's row e-mails that guest, and Send invitations e-mails everyone with an address. The e-mail comes from your name via Nimanto and replies reach you.
E-mail is the one channel Nimanto sends for you. Every other way of sharing opens your own apps. Here is when an invitation e-mail goes out, what it says and what can stop it.
When invitations are e-mailed
- When you publish. Every guest with an e-mail address who has never been e-mailed this invitation gets it. The first batch goes while you wait; the rest follow in the background. Nobody is e-mailed twice this way, even after you unpublish and publish again.
- When you add guests to a live invitation. The Add guest, Import and From contacts dialogs offer E-mail the invitation now.
- When you ask. On a guest's row, the Send icon (a paper plane) e-mails that guest now. Send invitations above the list, then E-mail everyone with an address, e-mails everyone. Both send again even to guests already e-mailed, which is how you resend.
Nothing is e-mailed before the invitation is published, because personal links would not work yet.
Send to everyone
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Guests & RSVPs.
- 2Choose Send invitations.
- 3Edit the Message. Each guest receives this text, the event details and their own personal link.
- 4Choose E-mail everyone with an address.
- 5Read the toast, for example "12 of 14 e-mails sent · 3 without an address".
What the guest receives
The subject is "You're invited: <title>". It comes from your name via Nimanto, and a reply reaches you directly. Inside: the invitation's preview card to tap, "Dear <name>," and your message, the date and venue, and a button Open invitation & RSVP to their personal link. The footer says who added them to the list and offers an unsubscribe link.
When an e-mail is not sent
The guest's row shows "Not sent:" with the reason. The usual ones:
- The address unsubscribed from this event's e-mails, bounced earlier or reported an earlier e-mail as spam. Share the link on WhatsApp instead.
- The address's domain cannot receive mail.
- Your plan's weekly e-mail allowance is used up. The rest are marked "Weekly e-mail limit reached" and can be sent next week; see the pricing page.
