How does a host get the main landing page URL for a newly created personal event?

Options

I'm setting up and experimenting with Personal Events. I've created an event that I left open to the public. Once it is created, as a host I'm sent an email message thanking me for hosting the event, with a URL to the hosting page. But that URL requires me to login before I see anything about an event. If I login as another user, I'm taken to the personal event searching page for that type of event, not the specific event home page.

I know that the URL to the event will be sent in any invitation email that is sent, but is that really the only way to get the URL to the event page? I also know that if you click around enough you can get to the search page for that type of event, from which you could search for it if you know what state it is in or some part of the event name. But both of these are round-about ways to find the URL!

What if the host wanted to put the URL onto a flyer? Or send an additional reminder email from their own email client on their machines? They should be able to get this URL right from the host center, don't you think? The current URL at the host center is not it either.

There was a way to specify a custom goto URL, if I edit the web page from the host control center. Is this the only way? I suspect many of our users (hosts) won't find that feature right away.

Thanks,

David

  • I found the answer myself. By reading the S tag manual and reverse engineering the standard auto responder message sent to personal events hosts to thank them for registering events, I figured out the S tag to include the end-user landing page URL in the email sent to hosts. Here is the HTML code (if it can be copied here successfully) I am now using in the system default autoresponder message:
