Hello – 2 really quick questions (I am creating a custom template using the Registration approved template:
1) The to email shows [Event_Author_Email] – is the the email for the primary registrant? Shouldn’t it be [Primary_Registrant_Email]? The approved registration should go to the user who registered successfully?
2) What does it mean when I have added content (text & shortcode from the dropdown] into the [Event_List] area (directly under the main content area) but the Event List content area doesn’t show up on either a test email or preview? Shouldn’t it show there – at least the text – headers and paragraphs. When I test the global template those areas show on tests just fine.
Thanks so much!
Matt

With item 1 it sounds like you’re editing the Registration Approved message for the event admin. There are actually 3 templates, one for the registrant, one for the primary registrant, and one for the event admin. If the To: field already has a shortcode for the event author, then you’re probably editing the template for the email that goes to the event admin.
With 2, it likely means you don’t have an [EVENT_LIST] shortcode within the Main Content section.

#2 – this is the content in the Event List area:
<h3>Workshop Details:</h3>
[EVENT_IMAGE]
[EVENT_NAME]
[EVENT_DESCRIPTION]
[EVENT_LINK]

#1 –
Under message activity I see a message type called Registration Approved which goes to the admin and the primary registrant. I only see one message called Registration Approved under the default registration templates with an ID of 3. If I am using the wrong template please advise.
Thanks!

The content within the Event List area is irrelevant. You’ll look inside the Main Content area, and within that area you’ll need to add [EVENT_LIST] where you want the Event content displayed.

#2 – If I try to add Event List shortcodes from that area into the main content area I am present with an error when I try to save saying the shortcodes are not allowed in the Main Content area. They only save in the Event_List content area.

You don’t actually put the Event list shortcodes into the Main Content area.
Instead, and this is what’s in the default template, you put:
[EVENT_LIST]
Another way to explain this is the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode is a shortcode for whatever you put into the Event List content area.
Under message activity I see a message type called Registration Approved which goes to the admin and the primary registrant. I only see one message called Registration Approved under the default registration templates with an ID of 3. If I am using the wrong template please advise.
Within that Registration Approved template, you’ll have 3 contexts to work with: Primary Registrant, Registrant, and Event Admin. Please feel free to review this documentation that explains in greater detail:
