    I consider these hacks. :)

    My biggest workaround are using internal fields and custom contact fields. But mainly internal fields.
    We have several behind the scenes fields I need to populate. Exporting the registration list, editing the excel file and imprting back into internal fields helps me a lot.

    I use custom contact fields as filters for emails.

    Thanks Steven! I too have been a huge fan of internal fields. I actually just started using custom contact fields in my new role to help with emails. Prior I was using internal fields to filter emails as well but I think custom contact fields is much easier.

    Some of my custom contact fields are
    National Staff = Yes
    National Board = Yes
    That way discount codes are applied automatically.

    I too love internal fields. I also always find ways to use data tags wherever I can. That way when if some element changes, it will change all my emails and website information as well.
