- If you select No actions, there will be no action taken after users submit the form.
- If you select Send email, you will be able to send a custom email to users after they finish answering the attached form. Once you select send email, a new dropdown bar will appear where you can select the custom email you want to send to users.
Select lists allowed to answer the attached form
In this section, you can select as many lists as you wish. People on these selected lists will be allowed to answer the attached form.
Select a list from the dropdown bar under Lists allowed to answer form. Then, press the Add list button. Follow the same process to add more lists.
When restricting an attached form to a specific list, ensure that the following conditions are met:
- Invite requirement is enabled under Settings > Tools.
- Invitees have been added to your event following the steps outlined here.
- Specific invitees have been linked to the lists that should answer the attached form. To learn how to assign invitees to specific lists, click here.
If you have the Invite requirement tool enabled, and have not linked the attached form to any list, anyone with access to the Registration form will be able to see the attached form.
After registrants that have been linked to the attached form put their usernames or email addresses to access the Registration form, this is how the attached form will appear:
Select tickets allowed to answer the attached form
If you are selling tickets for your event, you can attach a form to the ticket. By doing so, the attached form will only appear when the user has selected the ticket on the Purchase form.
On the purchase form, participants will see the attached form in the Ticket questions section after selecting the linked ticket(s). If it is a required question, they will have to answer the question before being able to proceed to the Payment section. If they do not select the ticket linked to the attached form, the section will be skipped for them and they will be directed to the Payment section after clicking on Next step.
- If participants select a ticket that is not linked to the attached form, the Ticket questions section will not open on the Purchase form. Instead, they will be directed straight to the Payment section.
- If the attached form isn't linked to any ticket, the Ticket questions section will not appear on the Purchase form.
- If the attached form has been linked to specific list(s) and ticket(s), participants belonging to the linked list(s) will see the form in both the Identification section and the Ticket fields section when they select the corresponding ticket(s).
