When you are selling tickets for your event, the participants will receive 4 different emails that will be deducted from the email credits:

  • The admission email: Even though is likely that the Approval requirement and the Waitlist requirement are deactivated from the Registration form settings, from the moment the users submit their form until the payment gets processed, the user will be temporarily listed under the Waitlist whichever payment gateway is selected. Therefore they will receive at first the admission email.
  • We are waiting for your payment: During the process to accept payment, an email will be sent to inform the user that it is under analysis. An example of this email can be seen in this article.
  • Your payment has been confirmed/ Your payment has been denied: Regardless of the method of payment that has been used, once the process is over the user will receive one of the emails informed that is confirmed or denied.
  • The confirmation email/ The rejection email: The user will receive one of the emails depending on the payment status, if it has been confirmed then the confirmation email. If the payment has been denied then the rejection email will be sent.
