    I am working on a flex event. I need to send a link to others to view the website for the event before the event site goes live to the public. I did a preview and just copied the address from the browser, but that link died about 30 minutes later. Way back in Regonline days there was a constant link shown in the site designer. How do i get feedback on the website before the event goes live if I can't have a link that doesn't die?

    Hi Joe,
    To do this, you will want to test the website. You can go to the event overview page and there is a button underneath launch website to test. Send the test to yourself and then forward that email to those that you want to review the site and receive feedback.

    Hi Joe,

    I agree with Joe below about doing the test email and forwarding it along. Adding to that - Once we have done our initial testing and are happy with all the functions of our registration, we make it live but don't connect it to anything on our main website. We then take a few days sending the link out to certain groups for early registration/testing/feedback - People like our board or directors, some speakers, members who are really active who we know will reply quickly. These groups often find items our team might not think to look for, or overlook but we are not wasting their time asking them to test as they can actually submit their real registration. They get early access, we get valuable feedback - win, win.

    Good luck!

    Hi Joseph,

    You should set up test users and use the test link!  You can send out a variety of tests (the button is on the event homepage on the top right when in flex/designer).  You can send links for the invites emails, reminders, the registration site itself, etc.  If the test user completes the registration, it will act "live" until you actually launch the website.

    Hoping this helps!

    Whenever I move my event to test mode in order to test it I always email it to myself first and then forward it along to anyone I ask to test it. This way it ensures I have it and I don't have to wait on a delay from Cvent sending it to other users.
