Access Path > Workflows > Events

How To

1. Specify basic event information

  1. In the page listing all events, click on Create an event.
  2. In the New event window, give a name to your event.
  3. Then specify its start date and time.
  4. The language selection here is for the registration language, and not the event language. The language selected by default corresponds to the project's default language.
    **If you want to offer the event registration form in multiple languages, it is important to specify it here, at this initial step, as once the event is created, you can no longer change the languages.
  5. Once all information is provided, click on Create.

2. Provide additional event information


3. Configure the registration workflow

1Registration link leads to the page on which participants will land to register. It contains the form that you will create with all the field. You also have to design this page.
2Status of forms can vary, and you should have a message for each of the scenario indicated when it applies if form is:
  • Invalid - something is not working. Redirect the contact.
  • Not started - if the registration period has not started yet.
  • Ended - If the registration period has ended
  • Closed - If you have set a maximum number of participants and it has been reached. 
3Successful registration when the contact has been added as a participant to the event
4iCalendar file, which can be sent to contact after registration so they can add the period to their preferred calendar. You can add information at this stage, like a connexion link. 
5Activate the confirmation process so contacts receive a confirmation of their participation, as well as having the option to cancel their presence. 
6Optional, but you can add a confirmation process so the contact has to validate his decision to participate. Can be an interesting practice so you can confirm that the contact's email is valid. 
7Admin notification can be interesting if you want to be notified each time someone registers for the event. You can add multiple emails, but they have to be an existing contact of your project.

Description
Do not forget
Invalid accessPage that displays when access to the form is not possible, for any of the following reasons:
  • bad connection,
  • the event has not yet been published but an invitation to the event, with a link to the registration form, has been sent,
  • the link was not copied properly in the browser.
In such a situation, you must invite the contact to try again later.
  • Make sure that all pages required by the workflow display a description or an explanation as they will display if needed, whether text is specified or not. If not text is indicated, the visitor will see a blank page.
  • All pages must be defined in each language. The language is selected from the header of the edit page.
Registration not startedPage that displays when the registration period is not yet started but the link to the registration form is already online, thus accessible.
Here, your message should invite the visitor to come back later to register, and maybe indicate when registration starts, or to unpublish the event.
End of registrationPage that displays when the registration period is over and registrations no longer possible.
Closed registrationPage that displays when registrations are no longer possible due to the fact that the maximum number of participants has been reached.
