  2. 2. Enabling Alerts for Leftover Quantity

    For limited-capacity sessions, Eventleaf allows you to alert your alert registrants when the available quantity drops below a certain threshold, just to let them know that they might miss the session if they don't register soon. Here's how you can enable these alerts.

    1. Go to REGISTRATION STEPS > Registration Options and click on the registration option for which you want to enable minimum quantity alerts.
