Pre-registration is a paid Platinum feature. If you would like to enable this feature, please contact us.
Pre-registration allows you to create a waitlist or pre-registration flow for your event. When guests complete the pre-registration form, that is automatically generated when they access the event via the public page, they appear in the invitation list with the status “Waiting”.
As the organiser, you can review these requests and decide which guests to invite. Once approved, you can send the invitation email, granting them access to the actual registration page of the event where they can complete their registration.
This can be configured in the Communication setup of your event, which you’ll find on the right-hand side of your event dashboard.

How to enable pre-registration for your event
You can enable pre-registration if you have created a public page and published your event on this page. The form for the pre-registration is automatically generated and cannot be edited.
Create a Public page if you don't have any yet (Click on the following link to go to this separate article for more details: “Add/edit public page").
Go to Communication setup in your event dashboard.
Click Publication.
Select the Public page on which you want to publish your event.
Check the Pre-registration checkbox.
Optional: Add an additional button to an Extra page you have created in your event.
Click Save to apply the changes.
Note: In order to post your event on a public page, the registration page must be created and open (the registration period must not start in the future.)
The Pre-registration flow
After you set up the Pre-registration, your guests will be able to register via the public website. This is an example of how the event will appear there:
After they click on the Pre-register button, they will be able to fill the pre-registration form. Individual fields cannot be customized, since all confirmed guests will also complete the usual registration form. The number of tickets they can request depends on your registration page settings.
Managing Pre-Registered Guests
This is how a pre-registered guest appears on your invitee list. They will have a status of “Waiting.” By clicking on the red X, you can decline their pre-registration. After you cancel all the guests you don't want to accept in your event, you can send out the invitation email and follow the usual registration flow.
Tip: Optionally, you can also create a new email with a target group "Declined" and send all declined guests an email too.
