Event Ticket Templates
- Michael Kalnicki
You can create ticket templates for your events that are sent as a PDF attachment to your supporters after registering for an event. The templates pull in data based on the tickets created for your Page Builder event pages in Engaging Networks and are fully customizable. You can also save them to your shared component library to use on multiple pages.
Adding Ticket Templates
Ticket templates are added to the thank you email of the event page. To add a ticket template, edit the event page that you would like to attach a ticket template to.
Expand the toolbar by hovering over it with your mouse.
Click on “Auto-responders” to reveal the thank you email tool.
Click on “thank you email” to open the editor.
From the thank you email, you can select the ticket you would like to include from the dropdown menu or create a new one by clicking on the edit icon. If you already have a ticket template created, select the one you would like to use from the dropdown.
Creating Ticket Templates
To create a new ticket template, click on the edit icon next to the ticket dropdown menu to open the ticket template library.
Click the “new template” button to open the template editor.
Enter the template name in the “reference name” field. The type is set to “Event Ticket” by default.
The ticket templates are based on HTML and use a rich text or WYSIWYG editor to create the PDF the same way all other emails are created in Engaging Networks.
The editor also allows you to access the source code directly, making it possible to build the ticket using an external HTML editor and then to paste your source code in.
Customizing Ticket Templates
You can customize your ticket templates using the Engaging Networks tools.

If a supporter clicks on the link, their opt-in status will be updated and a confirmation page will be displayed |
