Managing who can register for your event is essential for maintaining security and ensuring only the right audience gains access. This feature allows you to automate the approval process or restrict unwanted sign-ups by filtering users based on their email provider or corporate domain. By setting these rules, you reduce manual moderation and ensure a seamless experience for your invited guests.
How do I add a domain restriction?
To begin managing your access list, you will need to navigate to the specific restriction settings within your event dashboard. This allows you to define which domains are welcome and which should be filtered out.
Go to the Setup menu.
Once there, click General.

Populate the following fields (fields marked with a red bullet point are required):

Implementing domain restrictions is a powerful way to streamline your event's gatekeeping process. Strategically using allow and block lists allows you to automate registration approvals, enhance event security, and ensure that your resources are focused on the intended audience. This high-level control reduces administrative overhead while providing a professional, tailored entry point for your attendees.
