Please email them the links and instructions for their next steps yourself or ask the Callhub Helpdesk to do this.
To have the Callhub Helpdesk send the follow-up emails to your attendees, send the link to your event and a list of your attendees to callhub-helpdesk@democratsabroad.org

Creating a Phonebanking Training Event
When you schedule a phonebanking training, please create an event on the DA website (you may need an admin in your country organization to do this for you). Then send the event link to: callhub-helpdesk@democratsabroad.org.
We’ll post it on https://democratsabroad.org/phonebanking_training so other members can see it and attend.
