What is Virtual Event Sharing?
Virtual Event Sharing is how virtual event guests share their captures. At this time, Email sharing is the only sharing option for Virtual Events. Since Email sharing is the only Sharing option, it is always enabled for Virtual Events.
With a range of customizable options, such as sender details, subject lines, and branding options,Email Sharing can help increase brand visibility while simultaneously providing guests with a familiar way to receive their captures.
What To Know
Email Customization
Email sharing is very customizable! Here are a few basic settings that are important to know:
Sender’s Name
This is the name that shows to the recipients who the email is from. Most booth owners put the company’s name here.
Subject Line
Enter the text to appear as the email’s subject. A fun option is “Honk if You Love Your Photos!”, but feel free to choose whatever fits best.
Reply-to Address
The Reply-to Address provides guests with the option to contact the event organizer or booth owner. This is a great way for interested guests to reach out to book for upcoming events!
Custom Send Address
By default, email shares will come from email@boothmailer.com. To display a custom email address, a domain setup is required.
Note: This is a more advanced feature and requires some knowledge of domains and how to change the domain settings.
Note: Custom Send Address is only available on the Fiesta Pro subscription tier.
