Examples of the registrant experience
Prior to registration opening
The registration page will say "Registration Page Not Yet Open" and it will include your custom message as well as a countdown clock. There also will be an email input field where your registrants can enter their email address and then receive an email once registration opens!
NOTE: If someone is on your page waiting for registration to open, the moment the date and time arrive the page will automatically open for them without having to refresh.
If an interested registrant enters their email address in to be notified they will see "Thank you! You will be notified as soon as it is open."
Invite email
Once your page opens, the interested registrant will receive an email similar to the one below, but with your page's name and URL.
NOTE: This invite email is not able to be customized.
Countdown to close
Registrants will see a countdown clock at the top of the page when there are 5 minutes or less until the page closes.
NOTE: Once the closing date and time is hit, no additional registrations will be accepted. Even if a registrant is on the page filling it out, the page will close and they will not be able to submit it after the closing date and time.
After page is closed
After the closing date and time passes, the page will show "Sorry, Online Registration is Closed" and it will include your custom message below.
