Send Automated Reminders So More Event Registrants Actually Show Up
An n8n workflow that adds each event registrant to a reminder sequence — a confirmation with a calendar invite, a day-before reminder and a morning-of nudge — so your no-show rate drops and the seats you filled actually get used.

Frequently asked questions
How does the calendar invite work?
The confirmation email includes an .ics attachment (or an add-to-calendar link) built from the event's date, time and location. Getting the event onto their calendar is the single biggest lever against no-shows.
Can reminders adapt to the event time?
Yes — each registrant's reminders are scheduled relative to the event datetime using Wait-until steps, so a morning event and an evening event each get appropriately timed nudges.
