Send Attendees a Web Browser Magic Link

How to send attendees a Web Browser Magic Link, which opens your event in a web browser with no app download.

Written by Kacie Ferguson

Want attendees to get into your event without downloading an app? Send them a Web Browser Magic Link. It opens your event in any standard web browser, where attendees can explore your schedule, add sessions to My Schedule, see who is speaking and check out the Exhibitors. This link is most common for virtual events, but it works for any event type. If you would rather attendees use the mobile app, send the Attendee App Magic Link instead.

Before getting started, make sure you have turned on the proper Event Settings to ensure your attendees are able to access your event through their Magic Link.

❗ Important: If Attendee App Access is not turned on, attendees will open the link but will not see your event.

Once Attendee App Access is turned ON, you can get Magic Links to your attendees a few different ways.

💡 Tip: The globe next to Attendee App Access (Event Settings ➡️ General) shows whether access is on, scheduled or off:

  • Red = Access Off

  • Yellow = Access Scheduled

  • Teal = Access On
