Contacts

Introduction

Here you maintain the details of people that you can assign to events as event registration contact: the person or organization who provides registration support for the event.

This could be an individual, such as "Leanne James".

This could be a group of people, such as "Registration Services".

Where Used in an Event

• In Forms, the Registration Contact's details are displayed when a registrant clicks the Email Registration Assistance link at the bottom of the page.

(See Form Setup and Confirmation.)

• The Registration Contact receives the email and question/comment triggered when the registrant submits the form.
• In all Email communications, the Registration Contact's email address is used as the FROM address.

(See Email Templates.)

• Any bounced email messages will therefore return to the Registration Contact's address.

Edit Contact Detail

This page opens when you click Add New or (edit) in the Contacts list described above.

To return to the list, save the record or click "BACK TO CONTACT LIST".

> Caution: Any changes you make here will affect all events to which the contact is assigned.

This is because all contacts' details are held at the Account level. The event just retrieves those details from this record. For example, the registration form or confirmation email uses these contact details.

• Name — (Required)
• Email — (Required);

Other fields are optional. Other fields include the names that are self-explanatory: Phone, Organization, Website, etc.

Best practice: provide more than the minimum contact information. For example, many registrants might expect a pone number as well as an email address.

Save the details you've entered. The new contact is now included in the list of contacts described above.
