When you use The Raiser’s Edge Event Management, you can establish automatic registrations for guests only if:
• | The Fundraiser is linked to an offline event. For more information, see Step 8: Create Links to one or more Events. |
• | The default Personal Page you select contains a link to the Join page on the Fundraiser part. For more information see Step 3: Select Pages for use as Participant and Team Pages and Fundraiser Page Element Parts. |
• | You have created a Welcome email (that most likely contains registration fields). |
With these existing conditions, an individual can register himself as a solicitor and additionally register others. The solicitor receives a Welcome email that contains event registration information and registration links for each guest he registered. Next, the solicitor forwards the Welcome email to each guest. After a guest clicks the link in the email and signs up for the Fundraiser, the registration is valid. The guest is not asked to register for the event because the program knows the guest was previously registered. After a successful registration and sign-up, the guest receives the Welcome email. Guests are added automatically to the solicitor’s Address Book. The solicitor is downloaded as a participant on the event record and the individuals he invited appear as guests.
Note: If a user registers as an individual (not part of a team) and registers guests, his guests will not receive a confirmation email. The registrant will need to forward the email to his guests.
