The best thing to do to help your virtual attendees on event day is have the sign in on the device and browser they intend to use for the day BEFORE the first session starts. Otherwise they may be wasting time resetting their password or trying to sign in under a different email address other than the one they used for registration while the first session is underway.
The best practice is to send your attendees a reminder email through the Communication Center at least a day before your event starts. This is not only helpful for virtual events but in-person events as well where you will have attendees using the mobile event site.
Simply create an email message similar to the following:
Dear {{First Name}},
Law Day [your event] is fast approaching! To ensure things go smoothly as the first Virtual Session starts, be sure you are signed in on the device and browser you intend to use for the day:
- Make sure you sign in using the email address you registered under {{Email Address}}
- Visit the Law Day event site by clicking this link [hyperlink to your event site]
- If you are on a mobile device and see "Already Registered? Sign In" tap it and sign in. If not you already are
- If you are on a laptop or desktop, look in the upper right. If you see your name, you are signed in. If not click Sign In
In the content section of your Communication Center message, you can use the Varibles to insert First Name, Last Name and/or Email Address.
