19 - Inviting participants to the event

Once the workspace is created in Backstage, with all the content added and all the functionalities configured and tested, you will need to invite the participants to join the event.

One way to do this (outside of using a public registration page) is to send your audience an invitation email from Backstage.

Emails in the workspace are stored in the form of templates. Your workspace will contain a set of default templates that you can edit and use. You can also create new templates from scratch. 

More information on all the default email templates, as well as how to edit the existing default templates, or how to create new email templates, is available in the Managing and creating email templates article.

In the article How to send an email to app users, we cover the steps required to send an email to your participants.

What's next?
Once you've sent off all your invitation emails, you may also wish to set-up a registration page, to allow people to sign up for your event directly.
