# Follow-up Emails

Follow-up emails are automated messages sent to attendees after your scheduled meetings. This feature helps maintain engagement and gather feedback from your meeting participants.

When follow-up emails are enabled for an invite, zcal will automatically sends follow-up emails to all attendees who were present after the amount of time configured.

### Handling no-shows

If you want to prevent a follow-up email from being sent for an attendee who didn't end up showing up to the event, you can mark them as a "no-show". You can mark an attendee as a no-show by going to the event details and clicking on the icon next to their name.

1. Go to the event the attendee missed - you can see all past event by going to <https://zcal.co/events?time=past>
2. Click into the event to se the event details. Next to each attendee there is a button to toggle their no-show status.
