Automating guest email alerts

Guest Alerts automatically email your guests when their episode goes live — no more remembering to send "your episode is out!" messages by hand.

Available on the Pro plan and above.

How to set up guest alerts

  1. Create a guest profile. In your dashboard, go to Episodes → Guests and add the guest yourself, or have them fill out your guest intake form.
  2. Add their email address. Open the guest's profile and make sure it includes an email address — that's where the alert goes.
  3. Turn on Guest Alerts. Go to Autopilot → Email Guests and switch the feature on.
  4. Attach the guest to the episode. If the guest is attached when Podpage imports the new episode, we email them automatically. On the Elite plan you can pre-set the episode number so the guest is attached the moment the episode is imported.

You can also trigger the email manually: open the episode in your dashboard and click Send guest alerts once guests with email addresses are attached.

Tip: The alert email includes a link to the episode, making it easy for guests to share it with their own audience — free promotion for your show.
