The email settings can be changed from the Emails section on the Program menu
You can edit the communication sent to people who have registered for your program. When you set up a new program the system automatically creates a few default automatic emails:
Registration and applications
-
Successful registration
-
Successful payment
-
Cancelled registration
-
Registration login
Judges
-
New judge invitation
These emails have default text in the language you’ve set for the program, but you can edit them. However, you cannot delete default emails as they are required by the system.
Send options allows you to set the displayed name for outgoing emails and add a “Reply to” email address for receiving email replies from registrants. The Reply to email address has to be verified first, if you haven’t added one yet, go to the Organization menu > Email addresses and add one.

Create a Custom email
Custom emails can be anything, from reminders, to important information about changes related to the program. While the other emails are sent automatically triggered by certain conditions, the custom email can be sent at a scheduled date and time, as well as get sent to specific people based on status and category.
Using merge fields
Merge fields are strings of text that are automatically replaced with the recipient’s corresponding values when the email is sent. For example [first_name] will be replaced with the participant’s first name.
Here’s a quick example:
- You can enter “Thank you for registering, [first_name]!”
- John, who just registered for your program, will see this as “Thank you for registering, John!”
Please note that the [registration_link] merge field is mandatory for all automatic emails.
IMPORTANT: For every automatic email type, you get a list of applicable merge fields, relevant to the specific type of email, on the right of the email body field.
