Online events

This info will be focussed on events pointing to a 'non-registration' zoom link.

Using Action Network instead of sending people to register on zoom enables you to see who on your email list has registered. Also it then makes it easier to set up auto-reply emails, 24hr reminders and follow up emails.

This page covers how to:

  • Create an Event (written instructions below)
  • Duplicate an existing Event - watch this video
  • Set up an Event Campaign - coming soon
  • Gather events together in an Event Campaign - watch this video

Choose data fields

This part is hard to describe in words and images - so you need to just have a go. You can drag and drop any fields you don't want for your event (it's up to you). Just click on them and drag away from the left and let go.

In this example the surname and postcode have been removed and the GDPR field is being picked up and moved in to the form.

This should then be set to required.

Save your form and...and then in the bottom right of the screen click the button that says SAVE AND GO TO NEXT STEP.

Thank You page

To keep things simple - turn off the sharing options (you can investigate this later), and change the title.

Also you can write a message here e.g.

You event is now live, last thing to bedo continued!is add a nice page wrapper, so that it has the 'XR Style' of font and colours and also this gets rid of all the Action Network branding at the top and bottom of the page.
