Restricting Use Of Duplicate Email Address on Registrations

I was wondering if there is a way to prevent registrants from using the same email address on the primary attendee and guest attendees?

We use the InfusionSoft integration and we’re finding people are using the same email address for themselves and their guests and rather than create a contact record for each individual it’s just creating one contact record and populating the name of the last registrant, rather than creating a record for each of them.

Is there a way to stop this from happening? An error message on the form submission if the same email address is used for multiple attendees?

Just wanted to follow up and see if there is anything we can do here?

Hi there,

Just to confirm, are you requesting the Personal Information question group for both the Primary and Additional registrants on your events?

So in the event editor, both of the ‘Personal Information’ checkboxes show HERE are checked?

If so you can use a function like this:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/checkout/tw_ee_force_unique_emails_for_registrations.php

You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:
