Sharing the registration page link after registration has started

This article explains how to open the registration page in the CMS, copy the link from the browser's address bar, and share it with potential attendees or place it on external websites after registration has started.

Overview

If a registration page exists and is active in the CMS page structure, you can open this page using the Preview function. The link displayed in the browser's address bar can then be shared or embedded on external websites (e.g. event website, newsletter, social media). For the preview link to work for attendees, registration and the page must be active, and a valid registration period must be set.

Prerequisites

  • Access to CMS → Navigation → Page structure

  • Access to Configuration → Attendee registration → Configuration (to check the registration configuration)

  • A valid registration period has been set (the current date falls within this period).

  • Attendee registration is active.

  • The corresponding page (registration page or page containing the registration function) is active.

Configuration / Procedure

  1. Navigate to Configuration → Attendee registration → Configuration.

  2. Check that attendee registration is active and a valid registration period has been set.

  3. Navigate to CMS → Navigation → Page structure.

  4. Navigate to the page that should lead to registration (e.g. a page with a registration button or the default registration page in the C3 system folder).

  5. Check that the page is active.

  6. Open the Content tab and select the Preview for the page.

  7. In the browser window displaying the preview, click the address bar (URL bar).

  8. Select the entire URL and copy it (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd + A, then Ctrl/Cmd + C).

  9. Share the link with potential attendees (e.g. by email) or embed it on external websites.

Use cases

  • Email/newsletter: Insert the link as a "Register now" button.

  • External website: Place the link on your event website, in the menu ("Registration") or in a call-to-action section.

  • Social media: Include the link in a post or profile description (depending on the platform).

Notes

  • The preview link from the page structure only works if the registration period is valid, attendee registration is active and the corresponding page is active.

FAQs

Why does the preview link not work (error page or registration not visible)?

Check the following:

  • Has the registration period been set, and is it currently valid?

  • Is attendee registration active?

  • Is the page active on which the registration function is embedded?

Can I send the preview link to attendees?

Yes, provided all prerequisites are met (valid registration period, attendee registration active, page active).
