  1. Update the public signup description using the text editor. Add hyperlinks, headers, and quote blocks, format text as code, and insert photos.

    Tip

    The code block in the text editor will not insert HTML code. It will only format text in a code block.

  2. Use .jpg, .png, or .gif file formats and an aspect ratio of 16:9 for image uploads.

    If you don't have an event logo, you can use the Unsplash integration to find free photos for your event logo.

  3. Use the dropdowns to choose a physical or virtual location.

  4. Use the dropdowns to choose the campus and category.

Important

Managers will not see the Campuses and Categories section. Only an Administrator can change the Campus or Category.

Signup Settings

  1. If you'd like a specific email address to be notified when someone registers, enter it in the Notification list. Separate multiple email addresses by commas.

  2. Attendees will receive a confirmation email once they register. The message will include all registration information, as well as any message you add. It will also link to the event, their personal details, and show who they can contact. If you want to send a specific confirmation email to a selection, set it up in the selection settings.
