What's the difference between a private and public registration form?

The Eventdrive Platform allows you to use two types of registration forms. The public or private. In this article learn the difference between the two.

Private Form

The purpose of the private form is that it's only accessible via invitation. This lets you integrate your participant list and send an invitation email from the Eventdrive tool. Only invited participants can access and sign up for your event.

The good thing about the private form is that, as soon as you fill in fields on the participant import file (i.e. company, function), thus enabling this information to already be filled out for each participant. This is creates a more personalised form.

After the sending out of invitations you're able to track the status of the of the registrants in real-time.

Public form

The purpose of the public form is that is can be accessed by all whom possess a registration link. Therefore allowing them to register for the event.

Specifically, you can communicate the registration link to your mailing tool and even integrate it to a third-party website.

Once the link to the form is communicated, you will see the list of people registered in in real-time from the "INVITE" section, the "Attendees" tab of the admin tool.

Summary

• The private registration form is only accessible via invite. Its a customized form, which is different based on the participant.
• The public registration form is accessible to all who possess the URL to the form.

• Unlike the private registration form, don't import the list of participant as part of a public registration form.
