We've made a couple of improvements to your inbox to help you stay organized and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

📝

You can now access a tab that stores any emails you've started but haven't sent yet. Drafts are saved per user, so you'll only see your own unfinished emails. This makes it easy to pick up where you left off without worrying about losing your work.

📥

You can also now to keep your inbox focused on the messages that need your attention. Archived conversations are shared at the venue level, so everyone on your team sees the same archived state.

Don't worry about missing new replies - if a guest responds to an archived conversation, it will automatically move back into your inbox so it's easy to spot and respond.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to support@perfectvenue.com!

Building proposals just got faster. Perfect Venue now suggests menu items based on the details of the event — type of event, group size, space booked, and time of day — so you're not starting from a blank slate every time.

Instead of manually picking items from memory, you'll see relevant suggestions surface right on the proposal screen, tailored to the specifics of that booking. Faster to build, and more likely to match what actually fits the event.

Questions? Email us at support@perfectvenue.com.

Speed matters. Data shows that the faster you respond to an inquiry, the more likely you are to convert that lead into a booking. First Reply makes sure you're always first.

Perfect Venue can now send an automated, personalized response to guests within minutes of receiving their inquiry — so no lead is left waiting, and no opportunity is missed.

When a guest submits a contact form inquiry, they'll automatically receive a follow-up email about 5 minutes later. It's your first touchpoint, handled for you.

First Reply is fully customizable. Through Settings → Event Assistant → First Reply , you can tell the system exactly what to include in the response and what to leave out — so every email sounds like it came directly from your team.

Head to Settings → Event Assistant → First Reply and check the box to turn First Reply on.

This feature only triggers for contact form inquiries. Leads added through the dashboard, imported, or created by other means won't receive the automated response.

One of our most-requested improvements is finally live!

Email subject lines now match the guest-facing subject line and automatically include key event details, making conversations easier to find and recognize at a glance.

Once your export is ready, we’ll send you an email notification letting you know it’s complete. Then just head back to the Exports tab whenever you’re ready to download it.
