Downloading the Mobile App or joining the web version of the Event App is easy, but your attendees don't know that yet! We crafted the instruction templates in this article to help you clearly and simply tell attendees how and where to join your Event App or Community.
💡 Keep in mind, although this article refers to Event Apps, the instructions and templates also apply to Communities!
Using the templates
There are several sets of instructions here that cover different access methods and privacy settings. Choose the one that matches the privacy setting you selected for your Event App and how you want attendees to access the app. Read the template carefully to make sure all the information is accurate and tailor the text to your Event App's style before you send it. 💃
💡 Keep in mind, if you're using the Invite Only privacy setting, you can customize the Denial Message that appears when attendees try to log in with an unregistered email address. This is a great place to provide instructions and help attendees understand why they can't access your Event App.
Before you start sending emails, you need to fill in some crucial information to complete the templates. Use the appropriate information to replace the <Event App Name>, <Event App Code>, <Promo Page>, <Branded App Download Page>, and <Shareable Link> text where necessary. If you're not sure where to find this information, the section at the end of this article shows you! 🎉 Some of the templates also have ##notes## to help you understand how to edit them. Remove the ##notes## entirely before you send the template.
💡 Keep in mind, we recommend adding screenshots of your Event App's login screens for each step to make it even easier for attendees to follow the instructions.

Gather the information
Before you start gathering information, copy the correct template for your Event App and paste it into your preferred email client. Once you've done that, simply copy and paste the information into the email as you locate it. 👍
Event App Name
You probably know this by heart, but let's assume you forgot somehow. To find the Event App Name, simply click Basics under 'Event App' in your Event's navigation bar. The Event App name is the very first text field, called 'Event Title', on this page. Copy the name and paste it into the template.
Event App Code (optional)
If you didn't choose the Event App Code option for your Event App, skip this section.
To find the Event App code, click Basics under 'Event App' in your Event's navigation bar, then click Privacy Settings. Copy the Event App code from the 'Code' field in the Event Code section and paste it into the template.
⭐ Keep in mind, if you checked the 'Hide event from search results and require the code to find the event' box, make sure you use the alternate version of step 6 in the Event App Code Mobile App template.
Webex Event App Promo Page
After you publish your Event App, you get access to the Promo Page — the best and easiest way for attendees to access your Event App. In your Event's navigation bar under 'Event App', click Promote, then click Launch Promo Page. Copy the URL from the browser's address bar and paste it into the template.
The link is long, so consider using a link shortener like bit.ly, or use the link function in your email editor to add descriptive hyperlinked text, such as 'Join the <Event Name> Event App'.
💡 Keep in mind, if you want to give attendees the option to join on the web version from the Promo page, we recommend you add the 'Access on the web' button to the Promo Page when configuring your Web App settings.
Branded App Download Page
After your Branded App status updates to 'Available', you get access to the App Download Page, which has links to download your Branded App. From the My Apps page on the Webex Events platform, click the three-dot icon on your Branded App and select App Download Page. Copy the URL and paste it into the template.
The link is long, so consider using a link shortener like bit.ly, or use the link function in your email editor to add descriptive hyperlinked text, such as 'Join the <Event Name> Event App'.
Web version shareable link (optional)
If you want to use a web version only template, follow these instructions.
In your Event's navigation bar under 'Event App', click Web App, then click Copy next to the Shareable Link. Now paste the link into the template.
