How do I insert file links into confirmation email messages?

The File Cabinet Wizard stores files that you may need to make available to registrants after they register in their confirmation email message.  Typical example uses would be:

  • Driving Directions
  • Agenda
  • Waiver Forms
  • Application Form

Where are these files stored in the File Cabinet?

All files that you upload into either of these 2 folders can be inserted as links into the corresponding email confirmation messages.

  1. Registrant Accepted Email Message - All files in this folder will be inserted into the confirmation email message for registrants who Accepted (clicked the Submit button on the registration page)
  2. Registrant Declined Email Message - All files in this folder will be inserted into the confirmation email message for registrants who Declined (clicked the Not Attending button on the registration page)

Uploading files into the File Cabinet is covered in this document:  How do I upload files into the File Cabinet?
