We've made the creation of these fields easy, and by clicking the 'Create System Fields button', AEvent will automatically create within iContact the needed Custom Fields, while selecting those values within AEvent.

You can also use the Create Single Field, to create a single Custom Field within iContact. OR you can manually create fields / use pre-created fields. If you manually create a new field within your iContact integration, you will need to click on Refresh for it to appear here.

Once you create your custom fields, you can click out of the pane, as the initial setup of your iContact integration within THIS AEvent timeline is now complete!

When registrant information is sent to iContact on registration, any custom fields that you have setup will be sent along as 'Personalized Content' or 'Personalization Tags'. You can use these dynamic tags to not only populate the normal stuff like First Name, but you can use Join URL, Replay URL, Day of Webinar, Time of Webinar, ETC.

Below, we are in the iContact email editor, and here selecting the Merge Fields Option, we can find all of the fields that are being sent at time of Registration.

You can also use these values within your email editor as hyper-links (Join US button). If you click on one, iContact will paste into your email editor the short-code (the example above would be [joinurl])

Then we can highlight a word within the email editor and copy / paste

[joinurl] as the URL.

Clicking insert, creates an HTML link for Join Us HERE text in our email. Now when someone clicks the link, it's their join link, and will take them into the event!
