Mailing list subscribe

A check box will appear to the form and by choosing yes the participant authorizes marketing communications such as newsletters. Currently, we support "Other": the participant's information is saved only to registrants information. Based on this, you can export the participant information to your newsletter system, either manually or automated via the integration, if such integration is set up.

If you have LianaMailer, you can place subscriptions directly on the desired mailing list. In order for the subscribtion to be forwarded, provide the subscribtion / cancellation page address and the desired List ID to Eventilla Support. Default list will be displayed when adding new field. Please note that the selected list must be publicly available. If you have multiple subscribtion lists, you can change this list in Eventilla by typing in the desired list id to field.

  Remember to save

 

Subscribtion field will not appear in the confirmation message or in the attendee information modification. Eventilla doesn't handle unsubscribtions. Unsubscribtions should be done in target system. The easiest way to do this is with newsletter delivered with a "unsubscribe" button.

Using conditional fields on the form

You can also create hidden fields, in other words conditional fields, which will only be visible when information is entered in the desired field or a certain option has been chosen from other fields.

1

Mandatory field. Answering Yes opens a more specific field about special diet.

2

More specified field, which is shown only to those who have responded Yes to the field "I have a special diet".

3

If you want to create more specific fields for those who have responded to a certain field in a certain way, mark the check box as checked next to "Field is hidden, until". The drop-down menu of all possible fields and available options which can be used as condition become are now usable. When you have chose the desired question, you can then choose the desired answer which is used to show the more specific question to the registrant.

Never set a conditional field to be mandatory. If a conditional field is set mandatory then Eventilla will determine the field mandatory also to those respondents who the field has not been shown due to their answers in other fields. This can prevent the person from registering to the event altogehter.

4 Save, close and remove a field.

 

Validation

Validation checks the field to verify that the information entered in the field matches the selected validation. The validations are: letters only, numbers only, personal ID and email.

Protected fields

Information given using protection type will hide the given input from the confirmation email as well disable using them in shared reports. Only users logged in to Eventilla can see the answers from the event reports.

Use of HTML tags
