Overview
Speakers need to have access to their personal magic link to enter the event they are speaking in. Since the registration confirmation emails are not sent to speakers, organizers need to manually send out these links.
With the help of Goldcast Speaker Instructions template, organizers can now forward respective magic links to all speakers of the event using a few clicks.
Below is a preview of what the Speaker Invite email would look like if you are using the default Speaker Instruction template. Each speaker of your event will receive this invite in their mailbox with the merge tags replaced with their personal information.

Sending event confirmations or reminders to all of your speakers just got simpler!

You will then see a success toast message and the window will close.
Creating a custom template for Speaker Invites
The Goldcast default template for speaker invites is designed to be used across events. If you prefer to use a customized template for Speaker invites, you can either make a template from scratch or duplicate the Goldcast template and then make the required edits - then it will appear in the template dropdown list when you send your custom email.
