6. Things to keep in mind

• Already registered attendees would not get the updated email layout (in case updated during the event or after a few attendees have registered)
  
  
• To reset the changes (rollback on default layout) after saving the template, click "Reset to default."
  
  
• Airmeet Footer for every email template can't be changed or deleted.
  
  
• All email communication is sent from the "notifications@airmeetevents.com" address. The event organizer can enter the email address and replies.
  
  
• You can add 20 new custom emails (apart from existing ones) for any Airmeet.
  
  
• After existing emails are customized, the change will only reflect for the new registrants/reminders. (For emails already sent, the email would not be resent)
  
  
• Custom emails are not based on Registration status. All the attendees (both Registered & Pending status registrants) will receive the custom emails.

7. Known Limitations 

• The event organizer cannot resend a customized email.
  
  
• In the editor, the same styling applies to blocks instead of individual words or characters.
  
  
• Sent status is based on the timestamp, and deliverability depends upon the receiver server.
