Smarter Event Planning with
Link2events
For most small businesses, the events they're planning are scheduled in Act! first, and the people invited are part of the same database. So what if there was a single online service that enabled you to manage your events better and with less effort from within Act!, with no duplication of work, and helped maximize your attendance? That service is now available, and it's called Link2events, and it's available in Standard and Team tiers..
Built on the foundation of our popular Link2calendar appointment setting service, our new Link2events makes planning events a snap. Simply create an event with Link2events (or select an activity in Act!), and watch as the magic happens.
Link2events in Action
You'll get a custom-designed sign-up page that is linked to Act!, and have new sign-ups added to your database, or existing contacts updated. You'll be alerted with each sign-up, and all respondents will be added to the event group, and linked to the activity. All sign-ups will be sent an ICS file and a separate confirmation email with the event join link, as well as reminder emails and follow-ups to optimize your turn-out!

Present them with an invite after signing up
After they sign-up, Link2events then presents and answer page with an Outlook invitation for the same date and time so both participants have that event in their calendar. It even links the invite to your chosen email address.

Automated Emails with confirmation codes
Those that sign-up are then sent a confirmation email instantly providing them a unique confirmation code and the previously undisclosed meeting location.
Limit distribution of meeting links to those with verified emails
Know in advance who is attending your event by distributing event location details, or meeting links to only those with verified email addresses. This enables you to better plan resources for your event when you have better visbility on expected attendance.
Default activity types
Set default activity type in Act! for each event for better reporting and calendar filtering of your Link2Events. The activity type is then recorded under that Contact in Act! when the event is complete.
Configure reminder emails to be sent before an event
Configure in Link2events how many hours in advance of your event your sign-ups will be sent a reminder. Both the initial sign-up email and the reminder include the event details and image you selected.
Works with Local & Web databases
Link2events works with Cloud databases using the WebAPI, and local databases using Act! Connect Link. As long as you have an Act! subscription, you can plan your events more successfully with less effort using Link2events.
PayPal integration
PayPal integration with our Team tier allows subscribers to charge a fee for an event, and then process payments while people register. No additional payment portal required!
Automated Event Follow-up Emails
Configure the number of hours after an event for the system to send a follow-up email, perhaps thanking them for attending. This email is composed in a separate memo field in the event setup area, and can include links to past event recordings, an "upcoming event" page, a survey form using Link2forms, or even a Link2calendar link for them to schedule an appointment with you.
