Sending Messages
Send a personal invitation, share a change of plans, or remind your guests that the celebration is getting close.
Sending the invitation
Make sure your event page is ready and your guests have email addresses, then:
- Open Messages on your event and click Send Messages. You can also start with Send Message in Guests.
- In Select Guests, search or filter your list, then select the people you want to reach. Click Continue.
- In Compose, review the email subject and invitation text. The starting message includes your event details and RSVP link.
- Check the email preview, then click Continue.
- In Review, check the event, message, and recipients. Click Confirm & Send when everything looks right.
To start with specific people, select them in Guests and click Message selected. You'll go straight to Compose with those guests selected.
Tip: Keep the event link in your invitation so guests can find the details and RSVP. The message editor offers buttons to insert the guest's name and event details for you.
Harmony currently sends these messages by email. To invite someone yourself through WhatsApp, a text, or a group chat, copy your event link or share message.
Sending a follow-up message
Use the same steps for reminders, venue updates, or a quick note of excitement.
In Select Guests, use the response filters to choose people who are coming or still haven't replied. The Messaged filters help you find people who have or haven't already been sent a message.
Replace the starting invitation text and subject with your update. Check the preview and recipients before Confirm & Send.
Viewing delivery history
After you confirm, messages are sent in the background. The confirmation screen doesn't mean every email has arrived yet.
Click View Messages, or open Messages on your event, to check progress. Open a message to see its content, sender, time, and delivery attempts for each guest. You can search the recipients within the details.
Delivery statuses
The history shows both the overall result and each guest's delivery status. You may see:
- Queued or Sending — the message is waiting or being sent.
- Sent — the message has been sent; this alone doesn't confirm it was read or delivered.
- Delivered — delivery has been confirmed, when that information is available.
- Failed or Undelivered — the message didn't get through.
- Partial Success — some delivery attempts succeeded and others failed.
If an email fails, check the guest's email address in Guests, correct it if needed, and send again to that person. Delivery status and RSVP status are separate: an email being delivered doesn't mean the guest has replied.
