Add a link to event confirmation message and email

[DufferinF]

Previously for an event we added a URL to our confirmation messages by using HTML "a href" tags. It appears with the new event system this can't be done. Is there any work around to add a custom URL to confirmation messages?

Hello @DufferinF ,

The plain-text version of the URL can be included in the confirmations, but at this time the confirmations can't be formatted beyond adding wording that the system will auto-include. For more info on editing event confirmation messages, please see this article.

Hi William.

I'm still struggling with this. We need to send a map out to people when they register. In the past we could add the URL.  I know we can email registrants with a link but how can we automate getting a link to people at the time of registration? 

Thanks,
Trevor

If you have a physical address associated with the event, it's automatically included in confirmation emails and the confirmation page after registering. Beyond that, an actual map image would need to be manually emailed, as custom images cannot be included with confirmation emails at this time.
