We have an event open for registration at http://ywamcaribbean.org/events/2020-cpr-gathering/. We have a custom template defined for an event for the Registration Approved message so that the event managers receive notification of each sucessful registration. We have had a few approved registrations come in, but the event managers are not receiving the emails. I have confirmed that the custom message is set (https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8uRRGgr) and that the event admin template is active (https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8uRRGgr). However, when I look at the Message history, I do not see registration approved email messages for this event, even though there are 2 approved registrations *redacted*. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Hi,

When you view the registration list (in the last screenshot), you can click the megaphone icon . That will take you to the list of messages that were sent for that registration. Are there any messages listed there?

Actually, yes there are, thank you for pointing that out. Here is a screenshot: *redacted*. However, there appear to be two issues:

1) The registration approved emails seem to be going to the registration as expected, however only 1 of the 2 registrations resulted in a registration approved email going to the event admin.

2) Also, the reason that we have the custom template is so that we can customize the list of email addresses that the event admin message is sent to for the Registration Approved notification. We have four email addresses listed in the template, but it appears only the first is being listed on the report and the owners of the other emails are saying that aren’t getting the emails.

By the way, I did a test email for the custom template and the other owners did receive the test email. So basically, I’m trying to make sure the Registration Approved emails are being sent and that they are going to the right list of email addresses.

Your email server may not support sending to multiple email addresses per field. If you remove all but one of the emails address from the To: field, then add one email address to the CC field, then test a registration, do both recipients get the email?

What you may need to do is set up an email address that will auto forward to the 4 other email addresses, then set the template to send to the forwarder.

Ok, I have updated the template to use one email address only for the to: and cc: fields. We’ll monitor to see if and how that works. Thanks for the help!
