4. Click Send Test — a copy goes to your own inbox.
5. Review the test email, then click Send to Class.

Merge Fields

{{FirstName}}

Replaced with each recipient's first name.

{{LastName}}

Replaced with each recipient's last name.

{{City}}

Replaced with the city on their profile.

{{State}}

Replaced with the state on their profile.

{{HotelConfirmUrl}}

Each recipient's personal hotel confirmation link — lets them select their nights without logging in. Use with the Hotel Email Recipients audience.

Audiences

Standard filters (Attending, Checked In, etc.) are based on classmate fields. Hotel Email Recipients targets only classmates who have already received the hotel confirmation email — useful for follow-ups and the mobile-fix apology.

Quick Email

The field in the top-right lets you email a single classmate by name without changing the audience or template.

Unconfirmed Emails

An email address is "unconfirmed" if it's on file but the classmate has never logged in to verify it. Emails are still sent, but delivery isn't guaranteed.
