For reminder, thank you, and follow-up emails, you can set the number of minutes or hours before or after your webinar, at which they should be sent .

Set up reply-to email address
All emails you send to your webinar audience should have a reply-to email address to which registrants can reply to clarify their concerns. The reply-to email address can be that of a team, department, or members in your organization who can answer queries.
Before a reply-to email address is added, it has to be verified by the owner (unless it belongs to an organization member). Only admins can add reply-to email addresses for webinar emails within an organization. After an email address is added by the admin, all webinar organizers can use it for the webinars they create. Admins can add multiple reply-to email addresses in their organization account and webinar hosts can select the email address they want for each webinar.

1. Log in to Zoho Meeting and select Webinars.
2. Select the webinar that you want to customize emails for.
