Custom Communications
A custom communication campaign may be created using different combinations of triggers and groups. Here are some other common communication scenarios:
Attendance is not Captured
If registrants are not marked as Attendees or No Shows, and all event registrants are considered attendees
No Preregistration
If event registration occurs administratively after the event, (e.g. contact cards collected at a high school visit
Send Emails to Slate Users
Event communications can be sent to people other than the event registrant.
Instead of using the merge field {{sys-email}} in the Recipient field, enter a hard-coded email address or include a different merge field, such as {{Form-User-Email}} to send an email to the Slate user associated with the event.
