I run a site where people register for our club fishing tournaments. The registration is working awesome. One suggestion that came to me is if we could reply with our tournament flyer (a pdf file) when registration is complete. It would be a different pdf file for each event. I cannot figure our an easy way to do this, I could do a bulk email but I want it to be done automatically when they register.

Hi there,
Event Espresso does not currently have any support for including attachments within the emails it sends, however, I would do this using a custom field on the event itself and set the value of that field to the URL of the PDF. The user then clicks on the link within the email to download/open the PDF.
Will that work for you?
If so I can add more details on how to do this, but to give a quick example.
Custom field: https://monosnap.com/file/KDRPlkUd0dwhRZtv6HoCXrFPJN7HcB
Then use the [EVENT_META_*] shortcode within the Registration Approved template to call the custom field value, in my example it would be [EVENT_META_*event-flyer].
Something like this: https://monosnap.com/file/YtYie7MkYb5VhQ9b0WZRv45GWy6Mgk
Visual view: https://monosnap.com/file/z2HaM4Sh2VqdDy7Tznez2bPi8fhn5T
You can obviously make it stand out a little better than my example 🙂

Sorry for the delay, yes that would definately help by adding a link to the registration template. I do need a different link for every event, would I create a unique custom field for each event?.

Assuming the flyer for each event is different yes…
You use the same custom field name in the event itself, but the value (the link to the flyer) would be different as it would be for the event in question.
Unless the flyer is always the same? (I’m assuming not)
would I create a unique custom field for each event?
I’m not sure I understand the question.
You would set a custom field on each event and the ‘name’ of that custom field would be the same (so that the same shortcode works for all events) but the value changes so that the value used in the message relates to the specific event in question.
