Email Settings

Go to Eventonomy → Settings → Notifications → Email to configure:

Setting	Default	Description
Send an RSVP confirmation email	On	Sends a confirmation to the attendee when they RSVP.
Email an admin when someone submits an event	On	Notifies site admins of new event submissions (useful when Approval mode is on).
From name	Site name	The sender name shown in the attendee's inbox.
From address	WordPress admin email	The sender email address. Make sure this matches a domain you have SPF/DKIM set up for.

Note: If your emails end up in spam, ensure the From address is on a domain with proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, or use a transactional email service (SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark) via an SMTP plugin.

Emails Use a Branded HTML Shell

All emails are wrapped in a minimal branded HTML shell with the site name in the header. The shell is filterable - see Hooks & Filters for the evnm_email_subject, evnm_email_body, and evnm_email_recipients filters.

Customizing Email Content with Hooks

// Change the RSVP confirmation subject
add_filter( 'evnm_email_subject', function( $subject, $email_key, $data ) {
    if ( 'rsvp_confirmation' === $email_key ) {
        $subject = 'You are going to: ' . $data['event']['title'];
    }
    return $subject;
}, 10, 3 );

// Add a recipient to the submission notification
add_filter( 'evnm_email_recipients', function( $recipients, $email_key, $data ) {
    if ( 'event_submission' === $email_key ) {
        $recipients[] = 'events-team@example.com';
    }
    return $recipients;
}, 10, 3 );

Valid $email_key values: rsvp_confirmation, magic_link, order_receipt, event_reminder, waitlist_promoted, event_cancelled, approval_result.

Pro: Custom Email Templates
