What Notification Emails are Sent to Attendees

Corsizio's automatically generated emails may include the following, depending on your event setup:

NOTE — The emails you receive as a user are not the same as the emails sent to your attendees. Your notification emails will come from Corsizio, and your attendees will receive emails with your branding and your account name as the "From" name of the email.

How to Preview Attendee Emails

To preview any of these emails, you must have an attendee registration inside your account.
  • Option 1: Use a sample attendee from the sample data provided. This sample data is available when you create a Corsizio account to allow you to explore, experiment, test, and understand how Corsizio works and how to use it. Aside from seeing what an event or attendee registration would look like in your dashboard and the options you have to manage them, this also allows you to preview any of the emails mentioned above. You can remove or bring back this sample data anytime with one click from your account Settings.
  • Option 2: Register yourself or a fictitious person as a test attendee to an event. This can be a real or sample/test event. Just be sure to use your real email address, or you will not receive the emails you wish to preview.
  • Option 3: Use a real, already registered event attendee. This is possible if you have already created an event and began to accept or add registrations.

Option 2 allows you to preview any of the emails, given that you will directly experience the registration process the same way as your attendees.

  • When you register a test attendee using your own email address, you get to see what a confirmation receipt email will look like.
  • If you make the test event have a shortly upcoming date, and you enable automatic reminders to be sent by email to all attendees several days prior to the start date (Step 5 — Filters & Settings), then you will see what an event reminder email looks like.
  • If you cancel the test registration and process a refund for the test attendee, you get to see what the registration cancellation and refund emails look like.

Options 1 and 3 only allow you to preview the mandatory registration confirmation receipt email, the optional payment request email, and the optional feedback request email.

  • To preview any of these, visit the registration details panel of any registered attendee and select the Actions dropdown menu, which will provide you with the following four email preview options, as shown below.

How to Preview Memo Emails

If you choose to send any memos, you can also preview these as needed. To learn about using memos, please refer to the following help doc: Messaging attendees with memos.

To preview an already existing memo email, follow these steps:

STEP 1: From your Corsizio dashboard, go to the event for which you have already created a memo.

STEP 2: From the left-side menu, select Memos. This will show you all of the memos you created for this event.

STEP 3: Use the arrow dropdown menu on the memo and select "Preview this Memo".

To preview a new memo email, follow these steps:

STEP 1: From your Corsizio dashboard, go to the event for which you want to create a memo.

STEP 2: From the left-side menu, select Memos and then select the option to "+ New Memo" in the top-right area.

STEP 3: Draft and configure the memo as needed. When you finish, use the "Save & Preview" button to preview the memo.

How to Send a Confirmation Receipt to a Secondary Email Address

Besides sending the confirmation receipt email to the primary recipient, if you create a custom form field with the type "email" when configuring your event and its registration form, then the person completing the registration will be given the option at the bottom of the registration form to send a copy of the confirmation receipt to any secondary email address that they filled out on the form.
This option should be used as minimally as required, if at all, so that the other people are not sent emails they are not expecting and potentially marking them as spam, which can impact the delivery of such emails to other recipients.

Normally, the registering person would just use the "forward" function from within their email inbox upon receiving their own confirmation receipt to send the email to someone else. However, in cases where this is not possible, then a secondary email address is helpful.

How to Send Notification Emails to Staff

As an event creator, you can also send notification emails of every new registration or feedback submission from attendees to yourself or to whomever you deem these applicable.

When creating or editing an event, as part of Step 5 — Filters & Settings:

  • Turn on the toggle to "Receive notification emails for every new registration or feedback submission".
  • Then, "Select / change recipients" to add who you would like to receive the notification emails.
