Event pool member notifications are customized, personal messages that you can send
before and throughout an event. For example, you might want to send event reminders or
announcements that lunch is being served in a particular room.
A best practice is to work with your recruiting administrator to set up and customize
all of the various event pool member notifications you plan to send for the event
before the event start date.
It's also possible to customize these messages for use as SMS messages. The type of
message sent depends on the candidate's preferred mode of communication.

Another way you can send personalized messages to candidates is to filter for
certain candidates on the Audience page, and send individual messages to them by
clicking Send Message from the actions menu. For example,
you can filter for an event's audience members who were Invited to Attend, but
have yet to register for an event. You can then send a message to each candidate
in that list to encourage them to do register. Messages sent to specific
candidates are recorded on the corresponding candidate's profile.
Replies from candidates to the received email or SMS messages are recorded on
the Messages tab.
