V16 Notifications - custom profile fields

Hi All, 

I have set up an event custom field of 'Virtual Link' so Teams/Zoom links can be added to a seminar event. 

I am struggling with how to include this custom field in a V16 'Booking confirmation' notification. 


I have tried adding the custom field shortname of 'virtual' to the following language string but it didn't work: notification_placeholder_event_all_sessions_layout

[#sessions] [session:virtual] [/sessions]


Is there a recommended approach for this, please?

Thank you

Olivia

Hi Olivia

Can you confirm if you have setup Zoom or Teams as a virtual room provider  if you have then you shouldn't need a custom field for the virtual room link - the join now button should appear 15 minutes before the meeting start time when the user accesses the event.

Alternatively you can add a virtual room using a custom link

Regards

Thanks so much, Craig. 

We're not going down the Teams virtual room provider route for the moment. 

Using your alternative suggestion, I have created a virtual room using a custom link. How can I now use a placeholder in V16 Notifications so the link appears in notifications so users can directly access the Teams event, please? I can still not see an option in the list of placeholders for rooms.

Thanks again

Olivia
