[Events 2.0] Embed the contact's email address in the event invitation

[PeterT4965]

Unlike Legacy Events, Events 2.0 lacks the contact's email address embedded in the event invitation "Register" (and decline) button hyperlink coding, i.e., http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/regform?oeidk=..., which in addition to identifying the event, also identifies the registrant by their (Constant Contact stored) email address, and automatically populates the "Email Address" field in the registration form. This not only speeds up the registration process (less inputting) but also aids in ensuring the registrant uses the CC-stored email address, and helps prevent placing multiple registrations for an event, if this Legacy Event function worked in Events 2.0 - see this thread.

Great idea!

We're updating the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team, and also made slight changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request, but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.

This Events 2.0 deficiency and feature downgrade from Legacy Events is causing a major problem when registrants fill in the registration form with an email address different than that on file with Constant Contact. Follow-up/reminder event invitations to non-responders are sent to event registrants.

At this time, embedding the registrant's email address in the register and decline buttons isn't on our road map. If there's a change to the idea's status with the devs, or an increase in requests for its development, we'll update this thread accordingly.
