Create and manage email and public display Templates

Updated over 3 months ago

Introduction

Templates are reusable content blocks used for email communication or to display custom messages on the registration site. They help automate responses—such as registration confirmations—and control what users see during key actions like login or declined invitations. Using templates improves efficiency, ensures consistency, and enhances the registrant experience.


What can I do on the Templates page?

Manage templates for emails and public content

Go to Event Setup > Content > Templates to open the Templates page.

From this page, you can:

  • Add new templates

  • Edit existing templates

  • Set template display order

Templates display using the event's default theme unless another theme is selected. For more on themes, see Manage Themes.

Send a copy as a PDF attachment

It is often necessary to attach additional registrant specific content to email communications in PDF format. This information may already exist as an email template and should be attachable and automatically populated with registrant specific information, such as a PDF invoice containing auto populated registrant information and charges.

When creating or editing an email template, users will have a option titled "Attached PDF Templates," which will allow them to select and attach a template from a list of all available email templates.

If a user would like to attach a copy of the template they are currently creating or editing, the option "Send a copy as a PDF" can facilitate this action. When checked, this option will automatically create and attach a PDF version of the template.
