This article describes the anonymous user registration and its configuration options.

The selection logged in users has the setting options:

• Registration link
• Embedding code
• Custom description for privacy policy
• Show summary 
• Double Opt In 
• Forwarding after completed registration
• On-site subscriber after registration
• Whitelisting 
• Form Editor

First, you will be prompted to save your changes to activate user registration.

This can be done by clicking the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

After saving, you will be presented with the 

• registration link and the 
• embed code will be available.

Users (participants, speakers) of your event can use the registration link to register on their own.

The embed code can be embedded on any web page to enable registration from there.

The buttons next to the two fields allow you to copy the corresponding content with one click.

If the embed code is used, the form appears without background.

 

Own description of privacy policy

In the Custom Privacy Consent Description field you can enter your own text, which will be displayed next to the Privacy Policy Consent checkbox. 

If you leave the field empty, a default message will be displayed.

Default message in registration form: 

Sample text for own description of privacy consent: 

Custom summary confirmation text  

With this setting, after the event user has entered their data, you can display it again in a summary and have it confirmed.

Example registration form with confirmation of data: 

 

To complete the registration, the confirmation hook (example: Sample summary confirmation text) must be selected. This text can be set individually in the Backstage settings "Custom summary confirmation text". If you leave the field empty, a default message will be displayed to the user.

By selecting the "Go Back" button, changes can be made to the registration form. 

Clicking on "Register" will complete and submit the registration with the confirmed data. This is only possible if the checkbox is ticked. 

Double Opt In

By activating the double opt in, your attendee will receive an additional email after submitting the registration data, in which he/she must first confirm his/her email address in order to continue with the registration process. 

If the double opt in email is successfully confirmed, your attendee will receive their individual access link for your event in a separate email in the following minutes.

The email text for sending the individual access link can also be customized according to your wishes in the custom mail templates.

The status of the double opt in is also displayed in the attendance export. 

Forwarding after completed registration

In the next section, you have the option to select what should happen after users successfully register for your event.

If you select "None", event users will receive a success message after successful registration and remain on the registration page.

If you select "To Event", event users will be redirected directly to your event after a short wait.

If you select "Custom redirect", you can write any URL in the text field to which the event users should be forwarded.

On site participants after registration

If you select "Onsite participants after registration", every event user will be created as an on site attendee after registration.

Whitelisting

By setting the hack at "Whitelisting" the restriction of the registration of certain email domains is activated. Without entry of released domains no registration is possible at first. An error message will appear when trying to register. 

Attention: When creating your domain you have to pay attention to the correct domain format. Possible formats are test-test.de, makonis.de, streamboxy.de.

Form Editor

With anonymous user registration, you can fill the registration form for your event with the custom properties you have already created. 

Please note that the Form Editor will not appear until you have saved the "Anonymous User Registration" settings once. 

Structure and usage of the form editor

On the left side you will find the form layout. On this registration form, in addition to your event name, date and time of your event, the email and name of your event users are also requested during registration. 

On the right side are the available properties that you previously defined in your tenant's settings under "Custom Properties".

Now in the user registration you have the possibility to drag these properties, into the registration form on the right side and thus let them become part of the registration form.

Add text blocks

You have the possibility to insert as many text blocks as you want into your registration form. 

The text blocks cannot be filled in by the registrants in the form, but are only used to describe and display information about other fields. 

Like the custom properties, the "text block" can also be dragged into the form. However, it then does not disappear into the right list like the custom properties, but remains there and can be placed in any number of places. 

As soon as the text block is inserted into the form, a text field appears in which you can define your content. 

Positioning 

If you click on the three horizontal lines to the right of the property's input field, you can move the property in the registration form and position it anywhere you want. 

Mandatory fields

After inserting it, you can decide whether this property should be a mandatory field on the registration form and thus mandatory to be filled in by the event user during registration. If you do not check the box "Mandatory field", the event user can fill in the field on his own during registration.

Hidden field

In addition to marking your inserted field as a required field, you can also mark it as a "Hidden field".

Thus the field is not visible in the registration form, but the created custom property can be passed in the user registration URL.

This is possible by opening the registration link from the Backstage in a new browser tab and continuing to write in the URL after the registration link: 
"?" + the internal name of the custom property + "=" + the HiddenFieldValue 

By using a "/" multiple hidden fields can be strung together.

You can see an example in the screenshot of a user registration URL. This goes to de-DE and the custom property is passed at the "?".

If an attendee has now registered for your event via the user registration form, the user-defined property can be read out in the event user overview.

For example, the hidden fields find application in tracking UTM parameters. UTM parameters are tags that can be added to a URL to track where website visitors come from and how they interact with your website. By adding these tags to links in your event-marketing campaigns, you can see which campaigns are generating the most traffic and conversions, or in your case, event signups.
