Attendee Communication Design

Use Design → Attendee Communication to customize template wording and visible details for attendee emails, checkout result pages, and check-in screens. Configure delivery and scheduling in each event’s Email Communication or SMS Communication settings. Open Design → Attendee Communication, then Select Communication Type. The current choices are Ticket Confirmation, Membership Order Confirmation, Event Reminder, Post Event, Announcement, Pending Approval, Pending Installment, Approval Declined, Approval Confirmed, Waitlist Confirmation, Waitlist Ticket Released, Not Attending, Checkout Complete, Pending Approval Order, Installment Order Confirmation, Shopify Thank You Page, Square POS Confirmation, and Self Check-In Kiosk. The Design option reference lists the controls for every choice, including membership confirmation fields and the pending-payment/order screens. Designing a message does not enable or schedule its delivery: configure that under the event’s Email Communication or SMS Communication step.

The Ticket Action Buttons — PREVIEW ONLY switches change the sample shown in the design preview. To choose which ticket PDF, wallet, or receipt buttons attendees actually receive, open the event’s Email Communication, select the campaign, and configure Ticket Actions. Plan restrictions still apply.

Attendee Communication template menu with Ticket Confirmation circled — Open Select Communication Type to choose a template. The first email templates appear here; scroll the menu for checkout and check-in templates.

Step 1: Log in to your Ticket Spot account and click on the Design tab. Step 2: Click on the Attendee Communication tab to open the design settings. Step 3: Use Select Communication Type to choose a specific template, such as Ticket Confirmation, Checkout Complete, or Self Check-In Kiosk. The dropdown groups templates under Email Communication, Checkout, and Check-In. You will be navigated to the design settings for the selected type.

Post Event
Announcement
Pending Approval
Approval Declined
Approval Confirmed
Waitlist Confirmation
Waitlist Ticket Released
Not Attending

Ticket Confirmation

Ticket Confirmation design controls how the confirmation email appears when an attendee completes a registration or ticket purchase.
