Participants and Speakers: access options

Via Automatic Confirmation Email

Go to Marketing > Communication > Automatic emails.

In your online events, dynamic content called {{event-address}} will automatically become your exclusive, non-transferable link.

This dynamic content is already a standard for automatic confirmation emails, so you only need to configure the rest of the content that will be sent to your event participants.

Via Email Marketing Reminder (Email Editor)

It is recommended that you set up and schedule the sending of an email marketing as a reminder, a few minutes before the start of your event.

To do this, access the menu Marketing > Communication > Email Creator.

You will have two options of information to work the access of your participants or speaker: using dynamic content {{event-address}}, as mentioned in the topic above, or inserting an access button. Within this button, you will configure the dynamic content of the Virtual Lobby available in Text Content > Dynamic links.
