How to Auto-Populate Attendee Emails During Attendee Registration

When guests register for your event using a link sent from EventCreate, their email address can be automatically filled in for them. This only works when the attendee receives and clicks on the event website link from an email sent through EventCreate.

How It Works

EventCreate uses a secure, personalized link when you email someone from your Attendee List.

When the attendee clicks that link:

  • Their identity is recognized

  • Their email address is passed into the event website or registration form

  • The Name and Email field is automatically filled in as shown below:


What You Need for It to Work

Auto-population will work if all of the following are true:

If the attendee visits your event page directly from the EventCreate URL (for example, from social media or a copied link), the email will not be pre-filled.


How to Change the Auto-Populated Email

If the guest is not the correct person or wants to use a different email address, they can click “Not you?” next to the auto-filled email field:

This clears the saved email and allows them to enter a new one manually.


How to Test It

To preview how it works, send yourself a test invite.

  1. Add your own email to the Attendee List

  2. Go to Share & Tools → Emails / Invites

  3. Click Send New Email

  4. Choose an email template

  5. Select only your own email as the recipient

  6. Send the email

  7. Open the email and click the event link

Your name and email will auto-populate in the registration form.


Why This Matters

Auto-populated emails:

  • Make registration quicker

  • Prevent typos

  • Reduce duplicate records

  • Improve guest tracking and reporting

It gives your attendees a smoother experience and gives you cleaner data.
