Event Registrations are typically completed through the Event Calendar in the Member Portal.
At times, however, you may want to send a direct registration link via email. This could allow you to share a private event with a select group: you could hide the Event from the Event Calendar, and choose only to email the registration link to specific contacts instead.
Emailing the registration link also allows you to advertise your event to Non-Members, and anyone else who may not have Member Portal access.
Follow the steps below to send your Event Registration Link directly via email.
Access the Public Registration Link
An Event’s Registration Page can be accessed by anyone who has its direct link. Consult this Knowledge Base article to learn where the Registration Link is located!
Anyone can access an Event’s Registration Page through its direct link.
That does not mean, however, that anyone with the link can register for the event: the ticket types and access settings still dictate who can and cannot register.
For example, if you had no Non-Member Tickets available, then Non-Members could access the Registration Page landing, but they would not be able to actually buy tickets.
Save the Event’s Public Registration Link for our next step.

This is where you will add the Event Registration Link.
Paste the link directly, link it to text, or add a button.
