Once an attendee purchases a ticket for your event, they will receive an order confirmation email. It will contain information about your event, details about their purchase, and a button to access your event. You can also create custom order confirmation emails for different ticket types.
If they register an hour before the event opens, they should also receive a magic link email.
Important Notes:
Editing the order confirmation email is not available for Free and Starter Plans.
The Advanced Email Template Builder is unavailable for Free, Starter, and Scale Plans.
Editing your confirmation email using the advanced template builder will override the default email template.
Creating custom order confirmation emails is not available for recurring events.
You may need to change your settings if the images are not showing on the email while accessing it through your Gmail account. Click here for more information.
If you're using the attendee app for an in-person event, please check out the article on making the Join Button appear in the email and redirect it to the app.
The Order Confirmation Email
The email includes an order summary and a way for attendees to access the event. The sender is Accelevents. It looks something like this:
For White Label Plans, it is required that you change the Sender Name to your own.
Join Event Button
The first part of the email has a "Join event" button that has the ${MagicLink} merge tag. Clicking this button when the event is already open automatically logs them into it. Attendees don't need to enter their email address or create a password when they click that button to log in.
The "magic" of joining without a password through the Join Event button will only work once, so if they click it again, it will ask them to enter the email address if they are not logged in, or they can request for a magic link email to avoid the password creation process. Learn how attendees can send a magic link to themselves.
Important Notes:
The Join Event button will not appear in the sent email for in-person events. The row wherein the button is has a condition that it gets hidden for in-person events, so anything you add in that container will also not appear in the sent email. If you need it to appear so in-person attendees can click it to log in to the attendee app, click here to learn how.
The Join Event button will not appear for the ticket buyer if the buyer is not a ticket holder.
When this button is clicked and the event is open (including pre-event access), it will redirect the attendee to the virtual event hub.
When this button is clicked when the event is not yet open, it will redirect the attendee to the event landing page.
When this button is clicked through their email inbox through mobile and they have downloaded the attendee app, it will redirect and log them in to the attendee app. If it does not log them in to the app, it's not an app setting, but a phone setting, check this article on how to make it work.
View Tickets Button
The View Tickets button has this merge tag ${viewTicketMagicLink} that automatically logs them in and redirects them to My Registrations and open that specific order. From here, they can edit their details, transfer the ticket to another attendee, exchange / upgrade their ticket, buy more tickets and add ons, and more.
Note: If you don't want them to have permission to do those actions in My Registrations, you can disable them. Check these other articles:
Order Summary
The order summary shows details about the transaction. If the transaction is paid through a credit card, the last 4 digits of the card will be shown under the Payment Method. Other details won't show in the sent email if it's not part of the transaction.
For example, if in the event you're absorbing the credit card fees, then the "Processing Fees" row will be hidden from the email. So you don't need to remove it from the template.
The only line that we recommend removing is the 4th line for VAT Tax if you're not charging VAT for your event. Everything else will be hidden accordingly.
Important Note:
Do not move the contents out of their rows or add more content in the row. The rows here have show or hide conditions based on it's content, except for the ones highlighted in blue π¦.
Do not duplicate the rows either as the duplicated row will also have the show or hide condition.
If you made a mistake, our best suggestion is to reset the template.
If you want to remove the order summary contents from your email, then delete the row instead so that you don't accidentally use the row with show and hide conditions.
Download Receipt Button
The Download Receipt button has the ${order_pdf_link} that redirects them to their account (if they are logged in), where they can download the PDF file. If not logged in, it will redirect to the log in page.
Note: You can remove the Download receipt button from the advanced template editor if you're not giving them access to the PDF invoice. You can also remove this to avoid confusion on how to log in, anyway if you've included the invoice in the email, they can just download the field from the email. Or perhaps use the ${viewTicketMagicLink} merge tag in the View Tickets button so it would automatically log them in.
Event Details
The email will also show event details, including your name, logo, schedule, location, and options to add the event to the calendar. There is also a View Event button that works the same as the Join Event button above.
Notes:
The View Event button appears for in-person events and redirects users to the event landing page when clicked.
If the attendee has the Attendee App installed on their device, the button will act as a magic link to log them into the app.
Edit the Order Confirmation Email
Go to Registration > Confirmation & Reminders
Select Confirmation Emails
Click the Default Email Template to open the settings.
If you want to create a new template, click + New Email.
Note: Creating custom order confirmation emails is not available for recurring events.
Assign Tickets to Custom Templates
All tickets are assigned to the default template. You cannot remove a ticket type from the default email template settings. If you try to remove a ticket type and save the settings, it will not allow you to save it. This is to ensure that all ticket types are assigned to a template.
To unassign a ticket from the default template, open or create a custom email template and navigate to its settings, and select the ticket you want to reassign. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to confirm the change from the default template to your new email confirmation template.
If you unassign a ticket type from a new template, it will automatically be reassigned to the default template.
Template Customization
Default Template Type
With the default template type, you can edit only the subject line and the body of the confirmation email. You can add images, links, and file attachments in the body content editor. We suggest adding your instructions on how to join the event.
You can customize these key elements in the default email template:
Subject Line β Modify the email subject to better reflect your event or ticket details.
Body of the Confirmation Email β Edit the main content of the email to provide attendees with essential information or instructions.
Calendar Invite Description β Customize the details to ensure your attendees have all relevant event information when they add it to their schedules.
Advanced Template Builder
The Advanced Template Builder has more customization options, such as adding or removing areas of the template. This feature is available for the Professional Plan and up.
Calendar Invite Customization
The constant information that will be in the calendar invite are the event name, date, and time. Other content may appear depending on how the invite is added to the calendar. You can add a custom location and description. Text formatting cannot be added to the description.
.ICS Calendar File Attachment
As a default, an .ICS Calendar File is attached to the email that attendee can click to add the event information to their calendar application. When this is selected, the event will also be automatically added to the user's calendar when they receive the email. If you don't want to include this in the email or you don't want the event to be added to the calendar automatically, you can unselect the option.
Send Test Email
Send a test order confirmation email to yourself or other team members to see how it looks. If you're using the advanced template builder, this is also where you can send test emails.
Custom Text for "Pay Later" Order
If you have enabled the Pay Later feature, you can add a custom text for registrants who use this option. The custom text will appear below the body of the email.
Turn Off the Automatic Sending of Order Confirmation Emails
The default setting is that attendees will receive the Order Confirmation Email after they are registered, regardless of how they are registered.
They may also also receive a Magic Link email if they are registered an hour before your event opens.
If you don't want attendees to receive the email(s) after they register or when you're uploading attendees through CSV, or importing through a CRM, you can turn it off in the Settings menu by turning off the toggle for "Enable order confirmation email and magic link email." This setting applies to all ticket types and email templates.
Go to Registration > Confirmation & Reminders
Click Settings
Turn off the toggle for Enable order confirmation email and magic link email
With this setting disabled, attendees will not receive an email upon registering or being uploaded or imported into the system.
Admin Registration Notification Email
As an event team member you will be notified through email when there's a new registration. The email looks similar to the default order confirmation email template. You'll know that this is a Registration Notification Email when the subject line includes "Order Confirmation for [Event Name]" and the body starts with "Good News! There's a new registration.."
Disable Email Notifications For New Orders
To prevent team members from receiving email notifications for new orders, you can disable this setting.
Go to Settings > Manage Team
Click the 3 dot menu for the team member
Turn off the toggle for Order confirmation from my attendees
This ensures that only the intended recipients receive order confirmation emails, reducing unnecessary notifications for your team.
