How-to: Notify Raffle, Sweepstakes, and Auction Non-Winners
Have RallyUp automatically notify non-winner(s) or choose to not to notify them.
When you run a Raffle, Sweepstakes, or Auction through RallyUp, you can select how you'd prefer to notify non-winner(s):
- Automatically notify by email on a specified date and time
- Don't notify them (can also be selected if you still want to contact non-winners but don't want to do so through email)
Automatic notification is the default setting since it's instant, hassle-free, and minimizes confusion. However, we recommend manual notification if you have special plans to announce the winner(s) publicly.
