Cvent | Event Testing [1]
Testing your event registration and website [3] is an important step before requesting approval from your eComm specialist and then launching your event [4].
Testing will send a URL to you (or others) to complete registration in it's entirety, including the registration confirmation email triggered upon registration.
- Open your event and you will automatically be taken to the Home page
- Or, click Home after expanding the General section on the left navigation
- On the top-right side, click the Perform Test button
- Change the radio button so Method: Email test scenarios to other people
- In the recipient's section, click the Add Recipients button
- A pop-up will appear.
- Check the box next to the individual(s) you want to send a test to
- Click the blue OK button at the bottom
Want to have someone else test? Send the test to yourself. An email will come to your inbox with a testing link that you can share with others.
- In the Scenarios section, click the Add Scenarios button
- A pop-up will appear. Set the items so:
