I need to email people who join certain level

I’m going to give live Webinars, record them, and put on my membership site behind the wall…to be accessed only by the people who registered. Site is http://www.TheDBI.com.

The morning of the Webinar, I’ll need to send Webinar registrants the information they’ll need to log on. How can I send an email to these members?

Thanks.

Hi Peggy.

I’m going to give live Webinars, record them, and put on my membership site behind the wall…to be accessed only by the people who registered.

Do you mean registered to the webinar or your site?

The morning of the Webinar, I’ll need to send Webinar registrants the information they’ll need to log on. How can I send an email to these members?

Log on to the webinar or the site? If it’s the webinar, I’d guess your webinar software does that when they register for it, e.g. GoToWebinar.

If it’s the site, are they already members of the site or will you be giving access to protected content to users that aren’t registered to your site?

How can I send an email to these members?

From this I’m guessing they are registered to your site. I’m pretty sure that there are plugins that add the feature to email your members.

Did a couple searches and found a couple that seem like they may do this:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailz/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mass-mailer/

Yes, When they register for the Webinar, they’re actually becoming a member. I’ll only want to email the people who purchased that particular course (I’m assigning different levels for each course).

Would help if s2Member allowed us to filter members and email to them accordingly.

Right, but WordPress doesn’t have a feature to email users, and it’s not something s2Member adds.

What s2Member does allow is to edit the email that gets sent to the user when he registers. Not sure if that’s useful in your case. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

Another thing s2Member adds is integration with services like MailChimp or AWeber, with the option to have the person added to a different list based on the s2Member Level. Then you’d be able to mail users using those services, segmented by s2Member Level. Video » s2Member (API List Servers)

I hope that helps.

Thanks Cristian, Thought about this half the night. I think I’ve figured out how to make this happen.

I need to email them for two reasons:

1) Event Reminders – The email they get when they register will have a form from Eventbrite they have to complete if they want to receive reminders of the Webinar (Eventbrite sends auto reminders so I don’t have to do anything).

2) Log-in info for Webinar – When they log into site, the page they come to will have this info. After the Webinar, the video will be on this page too.

I think this will work. The only thing I wish is that I could create a different email confirmation to the registered user for these special Webinars.
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User
Since I can’t do that, I’ll just put a special section in this email for the Eventbrite form.

Thanks again.

That sounds like a good way to do it. I’m glad you sorted it out. :)

How are they registering for these webinars? In your site with another plugin or somewhere else with a service you got for the webinars (e.g. GoToWebinar)?
