A new feature has been implemented to the platform, that applies to contests where users participate by uploading their own content, whether it's a photo, a video, text, or external links: it is the ability to create a Manual or Scheduled email using the email platform to send each participant the direct link to their participation in the contest gallery. 

In this way, the contest administrator can create a reminder email to inform all users of the direct link to their photo/video/text in the public gallery of the contest, so that participants may easily share it with their friends and contacts. In particular, in contests where the voting is enabled, this will help users share their entry to receive more votes. 

This reminder can be created using the following two types of emails:

• Manual: send the reminder email at a specific time.
• Scheduled: allows you to schedule the reminder email to be sent on a specific date.

We explain next the steps to configure the email:

1. Once you have created the email and selected the type of email that you want to generate (Manual or Scheduled), the next step is to configure the Recipient filter so that the email is sent only to users who have participated by uploading content in the contest. This step is important to avoid sending the email to users who participated by voting but did not submit any content. 

To do this, click on "Edit conditions" and add the condition "Has content in a gallery," and then select the specific gallery (if your contest has multiple galleries).

2. The next step will be personalizing the message you want to send to the users. At this point, the key is to provide each user with the direct link to their participation in the gallery, and to do this, use the {{entry_gallery_link}} smart tag within the body of the email:

3. Once the changes are saved, the email will be ready to be sent.

Below, we provide an example of how the user will receive the content of the email with the link to their participation in the gallery: 

Note: in the event that a user has more than one entry in the contest, the smart tag will include the link to each of their entries in the gallery.
