Blacklist: blocking email domains

By using InEvent's blacklist feature, you will be able to block unwanted email domains from registering for your event. In other words, people who try to register using emails containing certain domains that have been blocked on the platform will not be able to proceed on the registration form.

How do I add a domain to the blacklist?

To add an email domain to the blacklist, go to Marketing > Registration > Registration Form > and click on Blacklist from the left menu panel.

Marketing > Registration > Registration form > Blackist

On the Blacklist page, click on Edit, type in the email domain name you wish to block inside the box, then click on the blue Add to blacklist button and press End.

Adding a domain name to the blacklist

When people try to register using a blacklisted domain they will see an error message 'This email is not accepted' in the email address field of the registration form and will not be able to proceed in filling the form.
