When it comes to getting people registered for your event, you're spoilt for options: you can issue tickets, upload attendees via a .csv file, and even programmatically register people to your event (ask us about our event registration API).
Well, now you have one more option: you can register individual users to your event just via filling a form on Balloon Manager. Just head over to "Registrations" and click on "Add":

We're super excited about this one, as it has been one of the most requested features!

Here's a short video that shows how the feature works:

Please, note that the sender email address will still be hello@joinballoon.com . This helps with email deliverability (i.e. making sure emails land in your attendees' inboxes) as we follow all the best practices βœ…

If you don't populate these two new fields, we will just continue to use the organization name and email, so you're covered πŸ‘
