  2. Navigate to Templates > Samples > Event confirmations, then copy the Event Confirmation template.
  3. Paste the template in the Templates folder.
  4. (Header tab) Make all necessary changes to the Header content of the communication. The Header content is pulled from the queries on the Data sources tab. Review those queries to determine if the appropriate information is selected on the Header tab.
  5. (Body tab) Add the desired fields related to the event registration to your email by selecting from the Insert field drop-down.
  6. Click Preview to review your email. Correct any fields that display an error in preview mode.
  7. Click Save.

  2. From the Name contains field, type Event confirmation email and click Find.
  3. (Actions tab) From the Send a communication row, select the edit icon.
