  3. Click Save.

Note: This email will include both the previously stored values and the updated values for transparency.

  1. In the event backend, navigate to Marketing > System Emails.

  2. Click the Create Template button in the top right.

10. Click Continue to proceed.

11. Make any required changes to the email template/

12. Click Save.


Note: Once this template is configured, attendees will receive this email whenever they update their profile via My Account > My Profile.

Step 4: Attendee Experience

  • When an attendee updates their profile in My Account > My Profile, they will receive an email confirmation listing:
    • The fields that were changed.
    • The previous value of each field.
    • The new value after the update.

This helps ensure clarity and prevents unintended changes from going unnoticed.
