Buzzshot's Broadcast Email feature allows you to send out broadcast emails to your players. Use it to send out a monthly newsletter or to let players know about new room openings or your latest special offer.
Already using Mailchimp or something similar? My hope is that for most of our customers, Buzzshot Broadcasts Emails will be cheaper, more convenient and easier to use.
How much does it cost? It's included in your regular Buzzshot price if you send less than 20,000 emails a year, so for example if you have a list of 2,000 people you could send out a newsletter to them 10 times a year. If you want to send more frequently or to more people prices start at US$25/month (which would allow you to send 20,000 emails a month).
This is now available on your account, look for the "Broadcast" item on the menu!

It is now possible to edit the SMS landing page (the page players get to after following the link in the SMS they are sent) in much more detail. You may recognise the editor from our new email content editor, it all works the same!
Let us know what you think, or if we can help in any way to get you the landing page you want!
By popular demand! We now support automatically sending your player's emails and other details to your SendInBlue account. SendInBlue is an increasingly popular alternative to MailChimp for sending broadcast emails and doing marketing automation.
Want to set up the SendInBlue integration now? Check out our support article for instructions on how!
Do let us know if this is useful to you, or if you have ideas for other things that would improve Buzzshot for you!
To use the new editor navigate to one of your emails in the Emails section of Settings and click "Switch To Advanced Email Designer". This will allow you much more flexibility than the precious email settings did.
Got any questions about how to use the editor to achieve the email of your dreams? Or any other questions or feedback? Email us at support@buzzshot.co
One thing that's a little easier to do now is to include the name of the Game Master who took a group. You'll want to have enabled the Game Master field in "End of game form" settings page and you'll also want to add some Game Masters in the "Game Master" settings page. You can then insert a placeholder for their name in your outgoing email. You can even include their profile picture if you upload one!
For the Bookeo and Resova integrations we have just started to pull in the number of players the booking was made for when we create a group in Buzzshot. For the moment you'll only really notice this if you're collecting signatures, but if you are collecting signature we'll show you the number of signatures you have vs the expected number from the booking.
I would love to hear if this is useful to you. And if you are using a different booking integration and would like this then please let me know. Or if you'd like this information used in a particular way to enhance your use of Buzzshot please also let me know. Please email support@buzzshot.co with your thoughts and questions!
Please don't worry this won't effect how much you are charged for Buzzshot in any way.
We've supported custom fields on your sign in/waiver form for a while but previously you needed to contact us to set them up. However, you can now go to the "Player registration form" in settings and add custom fields yourself. You can use these to ask your players any questions you'd like to know the answer to. Contact us if you'd like to use the answers to any of these questions to automatically customise your emails, sms or photos.
We’re very excited to launch an integration with one of the industry’s fastest growing and most popular escape room review sites: Morty! Buzzshot can now add a "Please review us" button for Morty and pull in your Morty reviews so they show in the reviews section.
Read more about it on our blog or check out our support article if you want to set it up now.
There's a new search box in the top bar of the site (just to the right of the Buzzshot logo). You can use it to quickly search for players and groups. It will search group names, player names, player emails and player phone numbers.
The search boxes on the Groups and Players pages remain as well, use whichever is more convenient for you.
As always your feedback is welcome, just email support@buzzshot.co!
