When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use for building pre-registration awareness on an invite list, before the person has registered for the event.
  • Use it upstream of lead-nurturing-003, which owns the confirmation and reminder sequence once someone has actually registered.

Skip it

  • Do not use it after registration opens and a contact has already signed up; check event_registration_confirmed before enrolling to avoid an awkward "save the date" landing after someone already booked their spot.
  • Do not use it for an event with no fixed date far enough in advance to justify a save-the-date step; a single invite plus a registration reminder covers a short-notice event better.
