Booking Report

The Booking Report section in Modern Events Calendar provides tools for managing event attendees, sending targeted or mass emails, and exporting or cleaning up booking data. It includes three main tabs:


  • Selective Email
  • Mass Email
  • Export & Purge


Each tab serves a specific purpose in the attendee management workflow.


1\. Selective Email


The Selective Email tab allows you to send emails or certificates to attendees of a specific event occurrence.
