Registration types
Next, you can specify whether the registration is only accessible to a closed subscriber group, or whether you want a public registration where new subscribers register with their name, etc. For legal reasons, the double opt-in procedure is mandatory:

None: only participants who you have previously created under Contacts can register (see Creating and Importing Contacts). You usually send these participants an invitation email with which they can register.
Double Opt-In: Event website is public: The event website is public. When the participant clicks on the registration button, there are 2 registration steps. In the first step, your first name, last name and email are requested. The registration thank you page will then be displayed and the registration email will be sent. In the registration email you will find the registration button, which will then take the participant to the second step. In the second step the questionnaire will be displayed.
Double Opt-In: Take contact details, then verify email: the contact details (first and last name, email,...) are recorded on the public website. The participant will then receive an email, the text of which you can specify under 'Event Dashboard-> Emails -> Confirmation of Registration'. In the email you place the registration button that takes you to the event website.
Take contact details, then display website: this option is no longer available for new events for legal reasons.
Show questionnaire, then show event website: this option is no longer available for new events for legal reasons.
Registration closed Show text, do not allow registration: The text for 'Registration closed' is displayed and no further public registrations are allowed. Existing participants can continue to answer the questionnaire.

Public registrations are visible to search engines. You can make a public registration with 'Public website can only be seen with secure token.', visible only for a closed group of persons. You can only access the registration page if you know a password for the registration. This password applies to the whole registration and can also be added to the URL.

URL for the public page

The URL for the public page is event specific. You can find them in the event under Event-> Websites-> Public Page-> URL for the public website.

Public and closed registration at the same time
You can also start a public and closed registration in an event at the same time.

Caution: a participant that you have already created as a contact can no longer register via the public registration, since yve prevents duplicates. Instead, he will be redirected to the login page, where he must log in with his login name and password. If he does not know this, he can send his login link to his email address via the button 'Send login link'.

If the existing contact is not yet assigned to the event, it will automatically be assigned as a participant for the event. This assignment triggers the registration email, if it is activated. If the contact is already assigned to the event as a participant, he will not receive a registration email. For registration type 'record questions, then show event website' no registration email will be sent.

In the case of an existing contact, the data (contact data and questionnaire) are not automatically taken over by the registration, but the questionnaire must be filled out again after the login.
