Sending confirmation emails to event orderers with the Events app

With the Events app, you have the ability to send confirmation emails to orderers. This can include text or merge fields related to their registration. You also have the ability to CC or BCC staff on the confirmation emails. Emails can use the Standard or Custom template.

You can also set a default confirmation email for all Soapbox Events that use the default by going to Soapbox Events > Configuration in the administrator.

To set the confirmation email for a specific Soapbox Event:

• Open the Soapbox Event for which you wish to customize the confirmation email
  
• Click the Messages tab
• For Send Email to User, choose Yes or No
  
• For Send Copy (CC), enter a comma separated list of email addresses who you wish to receive a carbon copy of the email
• For Send Blind Copy (CC), enter a comma separated list of email addresses who you wish to receive a blind carbon copy of the email
• For Email Subject, enter the subject line of this email, if you wish to create a custom email for this Soapbox Event
• For Email Template, select Use Global Config to use the option set in the Events > Configuration or choose Standard or Custom individually for this email
  
  NOTE: This selection will also determine if the Standard or Custom template is used for any scheduled emails you create for this event.
• If the event uses the Standard template:
  
  • For Host Header, enter the header text to appear after the event details in the Standard template. This text is optional.
  • For Host Message, enter the body text to appear after the event details in the Standard template. This text is optional.
