When you send out an email to invite your potential attendees to an event you need a link in the email for them to click on to navigate to your event registration form.<\/p>\n

There are 2 ways this can be achieved:<\/p>\n

1. While in Edit mode of your invitation email, selected the “Registration Link” merge field<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This will automatically insert the merge field into your invitation email:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. The second method that can be used allows the link text to be customised. \u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00edTo achieve this follow these steps:<\/h2>\n

Select the {Registration URL} merge field to insert into the email. \u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00edSelect the\u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00ed{Registration URL} text and cut (Ctrl-x) to ensure the merge field is copied to the clipboard. \u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00edWe will use this later.<\/p>\n

Enter the text you want to use for your link which will be clicked by your guests to register:<\/p>\n

Select the text and click the “Link” button:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Change the protocol to “<other>” and paste the registration url {Registration URL} into the url field, then click the “Ok” button:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also use this method to create register links for buttons, by loading in the button as an image. \u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00edOne website that can used to create such buttons is:\u0393\u00f6\u00bc\u251c\u00edhttp:\/\/dabuttonfactory.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Results<\/h2>\n

Whether you used the first or second method, when the email is sent, the registration merge field will render as a “Click here to register” link:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On clicking the link the event registration form is pre-filled with the invited guests details pulled in from your contacts list:<\/p>\n
