Email Attendees

If you want to email your event's attendees, you can do it in two different ways:

  1. Send an email to $event@$collective.opencollective.com to reach out to all people who RSVPed ($event = the name of your event, $collective = the name of your collective).

You'll need to host your image somewhere and link to it with markdown syntax. Use this if you're not sure how. The basic format is:

You probably forgot to set the URL field when creating the event. Just write to us at and we will fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you—we are working on improving this.

Login to your Collective, go to the event, and under registered people you should see the option for emailing.
