GivePanel Events includes built in email functionality to help you communicate with participants throughout their registration and fundraising journey.
Emails are grouped into two main categories:
Transaction Emails
Stewardship Emails
This article explains the difference between them and how they work.
Where to Manage Event Emails
To access emails for your event:
Go to: Event → Emails
You’ll see three tabs:

Each tab controls a different part of your event’s email setup.
1. Transaction Emails
Transaction emails are automatic system emails triggered by key actions in the registration or fundraising journey.
They provide essential confirmations and next steps.
Available Transaction Emails
Registration Confirmation (Sent when someone successfully registers.)
Team Registration Confirmation (Sent when a team is created and registration is completed.)
Team Invite Request (Sent when a team captain invites someone to join their team.)
Confirm Secondary Registration Request (Sent to secondary registrants - for example, additional participants) to confirm their registration.
Claim JustGiving Fundraiser Request
Sent in Registration Flow when a supporter needs to claim their fundraising page.
