A tutorial is shown here about using the registration form and linking the questions. Or you can read the support article here. So you can make certain questions show as a result of an answer to a previous question!
Do you have a paid event with tickets for your participants? In ‘Payments’ on your dashboard, you can add a payment system (OBP of DCS), choose payment methods for your participants, and create the tickets for your event Here you can set the prices of the different tickets in your event. You can link these tickets to questions from the registration form. It is important that you link this coreectly so the participant can pay the right price. You can see our tips & tricks on linking tickets here.
Are the participants already registered and you need to reschedule the event to another date? In that case, you can keep working in your current event, but sometimes it’s better to start over with a completely new event. Do you prefer the first option? Our advise is to send a message to the registered persons via the message center so they can confirm their participation for the event on the new date. You can create a message which contains a button with a link, that will redirect participants to their registration form to edit their registration (in this case confirm their participation for the new date). You can also do the same when participants need to choose a workshop, in case the program and workshops were not final during the pre-registration. Before creating this message, please check the following: firstly, make sure that the setting ‘editing of registration’ is not checked under website settings. And make sure that you have added a new question to the registration form, such as the new date of the event or the workshops can choose from. Then add a button with a link in the message. After adding a button in the message, click on the pen and then choose ‘edit form’ in the dropdown. This way your participants will be redirected to their registration form by clicking on ths button so they can edit/change their registration. Click here for more information.
Do you want to personalize the conformation message by showing the name of the participant in the saluation? Or do you want to show the choices as made in the registration form by the participant? Use an automatic replacement word or an answer code of the relevant question from the registration form. Click here for instructions for a refund.
You can find this in ‘website settings’. Initially, the name of your event will be www.aanmelder.nl/111111 (a 6 digit number that is unique for each event). You can replace the 6 digits with your own event name (click here for the article). You can also use your own web address by buying a new domain or linking an existing domain.
You can create different types of messages in the message center on your dashboard. After you have created your message, click on ‘send settings’. Before you actually send out the messages you can send a test e-mail. This is only possible when you have made some changes in the content of your e-mail, have added the subject of the e-mail and have selected who you want to address the e-mail to (so that the system can send a testmail using the data of a actual recipient). It is recommended that you always send a test email before you send it to your participants so you can test everything properly.
