Authors of conference submissions may receive emails from EasyChair. There are several kinds of emails:
- Standard EasyChair emails automatically sent to authors, for example, when a submission file is updated. While they are standard, they may still have different texts depending on whether the recipient has an EasyChair account or not.
- Emails automatically sent to authors using templates designed by chairs. For example, chairs may want to send their own emails to authors when a new submission is made and add a template email for this.
- Emails containing acceptance/rejection notifications with or without reviews. Such emails are sent by chairs and review content is inserted automatically by EasyChair.
- Rebuttal emails for conferences that use rebuttal. These emails are sent by chairs.
- Arbitrary emails, normally sent by chairs but sometimes also by other PC members (e.g. senior PC members). EasyChair has pages for sending emails to all authors or a subset of authors, and also sending individual emails to authors.
If you are an author and would like to answer an email you received, you should check the sender - many emails are sent from a no-reply email address.
Automatically sent emails are normally sent only to corresponding authors with some exceptions. For emails that are sent manually, the sender normally has a choice between sending them only to the corresponding authors or to all authors.
