Event Registrations Start with a Form

Before you start collecting registrations, you'll need to create a registration form with the integrated form tool.

For Event Registration, use the Form Only option
We recommend you Display a confirmation message Form Action only, you'll see there are other confirmation emails that will be sent by the event registration later
You can be notified of submissions just like other events

Note, if you have limited attendance, available you can limit the number of submissions.

Once your form is created, you can post your event... if you're already posted your event, you can edit it and add the registration form.

Click Events > New Event or Manage Events

As with all events, you'll choose the type of event, add title, image etc.

Event registration can be used on single events or recurring events, in fact, a single form can be used across multiple events where appropriate.

As you move down the page, you'll see a number of event options.

Manage recurring events, if your events don't follow a particular pattern or have varying start times then you may need to use our Clone Event feature to get things just right
Marking an event as RSVP Required is just a label so people know what to expect
Enabling Event Registration will expose additional settings (items 4-7) - Event registration requires a paid account
Select the form you'd like to use
Position the form either above or below the rest of the event information on the public-facing page - You can also pick background and text colors to display when the form is positioned Above
We recommend you send confirmation and reminder emails - these will ensure registrants are reminded both 24-hours and 1-hour before your event
Add a custom message to be included in the reminder emails, we'll also include other information from the event itself.
