FAQs on event promotion in Zoho Backstage

Promotion

1. How can I promote my events with Zoho Backstage?

Zoho Backstage provides multiple tools to help you promote your event and reach potential attendees.

You can:

  • Publish a branded event website to showcase event details, speakers, agenda, sponsors, exhibitors, and registration options.
  • Share your event across social media platforms using built-in social sharing options.
  • Promote your event on external websites and blogs using embeddable widgets and banner assets.
  • Send automated and scheduled email campaigns to attendees, prospects, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and other event participants.

2. Can I schedule a post to be posted in social media from Backstage?

No. Zoho Backstage currently supports sharing event content to social media platforms, but it does not provide social media post scheduling capabilities.

3. Is there a limit for the number of emails that I can schedule in Backstage?

Yes. You can create and schedule up to 10 email campaigns per event, including any default scheduled email campaigns provided by Zoho Backstage.

4. Can I edit the pre-defined template design for schedule emails?

You can customize the content of scheduled emails, including the subject line and message body. However, the overall email template layout and design cannot be modified.

5. Can I edit the content in the default schedule emails?

Yes. Default scheduled email campaigns can be customized to match your event requirements. You can modify the email subject, message content, and other supported fields before sending them.

6. Can I remove the app widget from a schedule email configuration?

Yes. When configuring a scheduled email, you can choose whether to display the mobile app widget included in the email template.

7. Can I delete default emails?

Yes. Default scheduled email campaigns can be removed if they are not required for your event communication strategy.

8. Does Backstage support other email campaign providers?

Zoho Backstage does not currently provide direct integrations with third-party email marketing platforms for scheduled event emails.

9. Are the emails compatible with all platforms?

Scheduled emails are designed to work across most modern email clients. For email clients that do not support HTML content, a plain-text version of the email is automatically provided.

10. Can I import a list of emails addresses to send my scheduled emails?

No. Scheduled emails can only be sent to supported participant groups within your event, such as attendees, prospects, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, or other event-related audiences available in Zoho Backstage.

11. Can I see if the attendees have opened an email that was sent?

No. While Zoho Backstage does not provide traditional email open tracking, you can use the Search Email History feature to search for a participant and review the emails that have been sent to them, along with their delivery details.

12. Can I identify which purchases were made through affiliates?

Yes. Registrations and purchases generated through affiliates can be tracked within Zoho Backstage, allowing you to identify the affiliate associated with each registration.


Email Sender Domain Restrictions

1. Why am I unable to add email addresses with the "gmail.com" or "googlemail.com" domain when adding primary contacts to Zoho Backstage?

To comply with modern email authentication and sender verification requirements, Zoho Backstage does not support using personal Gmail domains (such as gmail.com or googlemail.com) as sender addresses for event communications.

Using authenticated business domains helps improve email deliverability and reduces the likelihood of messages being flagged as spam.

2. What should I do to ensure my emails are delivered successfully?

We recommend using an email address associated with your organization’s domain and authenticating that domain before sending event communications. Configuring email authentication records such as SPF and DKIM helps improve email deliverability, reduces the likelihood of messages being marked as spam, and ensures that emails sent from Zoho Backstage are trusted by recipient mail providers.

3. What happens if I don't update the primary contacts' email domain by February 1, 2024?

If an unsupported sender domain is used, Zoho Backstage may use a default Zoho Backstage email address to ensure event emails continue to be delivered successfully.
