Event registration is a great way to track who is coming to events, conferences, and more. Whether paid or free you can follow this article to get started with adding registration as part of your event. Now with event ticketing you can now sell events, merchandise, and much more.
Creating Events with Registration
1. Navigate to your Subsplash App Dashboard
2. Select Events
3. From your Events Library page, you can select Create Event, add a title and select your desired calendar, then select Create.
4. Once created, fill out your event details, select Save
5. Select the "Registration" tab within the event
6. Toggle "Allow people to register" switch on to allow users to register for the event, then select the appropriate options below. Be sure to save! You can Preview the event by selecting "View event URL," registration appears as a "Register now" button. This Registration tab within the event is where you can track the different registrants along with the amount of people the registrant is planning on bringing for the event, this is under "Who's coming." The "View all" allows you to export the list of registrants.
Registration Type
"Simple Headcount" is the default where one person can fill out the form with their information and receive multiple tickets to your event.
"Everyone Registers" is the second option if you would prefer to collect more detailed information about each person who will be attending. This option requires the registrant to select a "Primary Contact" that will receive all communications about the event, and each registrant after the primary contact can choose with a checkbox to subscribe to email updates about the event.
Tickets & Payment
Note: Subsplash Giving is required to set up payment on event registration.
Now with Event Ticketing, you're now able to collect payments for events, merchandise, small group curriculum and so much more. Follow the steps below to create new tickets to represent individual items available for purchase.
If you would like to add paid event registration, you can see our article on Event Registration Payments here!
Questions
Edit the questions people see when they register for this event.
The default questions include:
Name and email: Required to send a confirmation email after a person registers, and to create people in your People database.
Phone: Not required by default but you can make it required.
Beyond those two you can add up to 20 custom questions and make them required if needed (ex. allergies, whether they need childcare, etc).
Single-select, multi-select, and short answer will all help drive more custom forms to allow larger Event registrations to flow through the system
Event Capacity
If your event has limited space or tickets, use this setting to control how many people can register! Once event capacity has been reached the event will show as full.
Notifications
By default, email confirmation is sent to the person registering. If you would like to receive emails about new registrations, toggle on the setting, and add any email address we should send them to.
