Emailed Content for Sales Items

Admins can now attach custom emailed content to sales items. When attendees obtain an item with emailed content it is automatically sent to them and remains accessible at any time via their account, provided they still hold the item and the content remains enabled. This feature makes it easy to communicate item-specific details while adding protection against unauthorized link sharing.

New Email tab in Add-on Sales Items

When configuring an Add-on Sales Item, you will now see an Email tab. Links included in this email are automatically disguised as secure Cardboard Connect links, making this perfect for distribution of sensitive resources like hotel discount links.

Example Email

Links within the email require attendees to be logged into Cardboard Connect to function. This will enable future link tracking and confirmation of usage while making it more difficult for public link sharing.

Badge Holder Access

Badge holders can access the sent email at any time from the convention Store and My Add-ons menu.

Note: Updating the email on a sales item will automatically update the content and links displayed in the attendee's My Add-ons view.

Invalid and Revoked Links

If an item is transferred to another user or emailed content is disabled by an admin all existing links will be revoked. In addition if an unauthorized user attempts access, Cardboard Connect will display a "Link Not Available” notice.
