How to manage Incomplete Registrations using the Complete Attendee Wizard

How to manage Incomplete Registrations using the Complete Attendee Wizard

The complete Attendee Wizard automates interactions with ONLY incomplete attendees.

You may create up to 3 steps. A common setup would be:

  1. Email the attendee a reminder
  2. Email the attendee another reminder
  3. Delete the attendee registration from the system

You define the actions of each step and how many steps.

For example, your first step could be "Delete Attendee" - which would remove the attendee registration from the conference.

Deleting an attendee registration will not delete a contact profile but will remove the registration record.
"Delete Just Invoices" will remove all invoices for the attendee from their 'abandoned' shopping cart but will leave their registration record with no items on it.

The steps do not impact registrations that are:

  1. Complete Attendees
  2. Pending Attendees
  3. Canceled Attendees
  4. Any Incomplete attendee with an existing payment
  5. Any attendee who has been protected
    • To protect an attendee, go to that attendee's management. From the Direct Action Menu, select "Status Control".
