Boost Event Management with Automated Reminders (So Nothing Gets Missed)

What Are Automated Event Reminders?

Automated event reminders are pre-scheduled prompts generated by your event management software. These alerts are triggered based on specific dates, times, or actions. They’re built to notify your team or clients about critical tasks, deadlines, or updates, helping you stay on top of everything without constant manual follow-ups.

These reminders can come in the form of internal dashboard reminders visible when staff log in, real-time event notifications sent to phones or inboxes, or system-generated email alerts sent to clients, vendors, or managers. Many platforms, like Pxier, allow you to fully customize the type, timing, and recipient of each reminder.

With automated reminders in place, you’re no longer relying on memory or sticky notes to manage your events. You’ve got a digital assistant working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Where Reminders Make the Biggest Impact

There are dozens of moments in the planning process where reminders can make all the difference. Here are a few key examples:

• Sending final headcount requests to catering vendors
• Reminding clients about upcoming payment deadlines
• Alerting staff to assign tables or finalize floorplans
• Following up on unanswered RSVPs
• Confirming delivery or setup times with suppliers
• Scheduling post-event surveys or feedback requests

These reminders eliminate the need for constant check-ins and reduce the risk of missing important steps. They also contribute to better service, fewer mistakes, and a more confident team. Thanks to task automation, you can link reminders to specific actions, like automatically assigning a setup checklist when an event date is locked in.

The result? Fewer fire drills and more proactive planning.

Types of Event Notifications That Work

Different types of reminders suit different situations, and using the right format makes your communication more effective. Here are the three most useful types of event notifications:

• Email alerts: Perfect for reaching clients or vendors with confirmations, updates, or payment reminders. These can be branded, scheduled, and tracked for delivery.
• Dashboard reminders: Ideal for staff who log into the event platform daily. These visual reminders appear right on the home screen and help prioritize tasks.
• Pop-up or mobile notifications: Best for time-sensitive alerts, like last-minute changes or urgent updates, especially when staff are offsite.

By matching the format to the message, you keep your communications timely and actionable.

Reminder Scheduling: Set It and Breathe Easy

One of the biggest advantages of Pxier’s system is reminder scheduling. This feature lets you pre-program when, where, and how reminders are sent. You can set recurring reminders for routine tasks, like weekly planning meetings or monthly billing checks, or create custom, one-time reminders tied to specific events.for routine tasks, like weekly planning meetings or monthly billing checks, or create custom, one-time reminders tied to specific events.

Some examples include:

• A reminder five days before an event to review the timeline
• An alert three days after an event to follow up with the client
• A recurring weekly reminder for staff to check pending approvals
• A pop-up for the front desk to confirm walk-through appointments

By scheduling reminders in advance, you’re giving yourself space to focus on strategy rather than constantly chasing small details.

Task Automation = Fewer Mistakes, Happier Teams

When reminders are paired with task automation, the results are powerful. Not only are people notified of what needs to happen, but the task itself is created, assigned, and tracked without manual effort.

Let’s say a client confirms their guest count. Your system can automatically trigger the creation of a setup checklist for the venue manager, assign staff roles for the day, and send a confirmation to the catering team, all without lifting a finger.

This reduces the risk of miscommunication, prevents missed steps, and helps your team deliver a consistently professional experience.
