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

Trigger Group
Hours after Event Group - All Registrants

No Preregistration

If event registration occurs administratively after the event, (e.g. contact cards collected at a high school visit
Trigger Group
Upon Registration Admin Entry Only (including post-deadline)

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.
