# Message seminar attendees

After a seminar event has been created, Administrators and Trainers can send out custom messages to **Booked** and/or **Cancelled** users as needed. These messages are in addition to any **Notifications** configured within the site and course.

These messages are sent to the recipients by email, not system notifications.

Follow these steps to send a message to an event's attendees:

1. Navigate to a seminar event.
2. In the **Attendees** area, select the **Message users** tab.
3. Use the **Recipient groups** checkboxes to specify which users should receive the message - **Booked**, **Wait-listed** or **Cancelled**. If the message is sent after attendance has been taken, additional groups will be displayed based on the user’s **Attendance** status - **No Show**, **Partially attended** or **Fully attended.**
4. Once you have selected the recipients you can edit the recipients list by individual and carbon copy (cc) a user’s manager into the message by selecting the **CC recipient’s managers** checkbox.
5. Enter the message **Subject** and **Body** to be sent.
6. Click **Send message**.
