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
- 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.
- Add their email address. Open the guest's profile and make sure it includes an email address — that's where the alert goes.
- Turn on Guest Alerts. Go to Autopilot → Email Guests and switch the feature on.
- 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.
On the Elite plan you can also trigger the email manually: go to Episodes → All Episodes, open the episode, and click Send guest alerts in the optimization panel once guests with email addresses are attached.
Tip: The alert email includes a link to the episode (plus links to any blog posts you've published about it), making it easy for guests to share it with their own audience — free promotion for your show.
