  • Event Purchase Acknowledgement Email:  The content provided in this section provides the message to be emailed to your guests when they make donations or purchase items within the event. i.e. from their guest page, or in an in-person event. This acknowledgement is typically used to distinguish the messaging between a ticket purchase versus a fundraising activity by the donor. If this email content is left blank then the above Default Email content will be used instead.
