Recipient page and link preview in your event's look

The video goes through everything once using a sample event: layout, colors, cover image, logo, welcome message and field names, plus the shared selection page for several badges. At the end it opens the page as a guest and downloads a finished badge.

1. Open your event dashboard. The overview contains the “Customize” block with the “Design recipient page” tile. On a phone, you'll find the same block under “Overview”.
2. If you have several badges, choose at the top what you're designing: “All badge pages” is preselected, and below it you can pick a single page, for example just the Speaker page.
3. Work through the “Design” and “Texts” tabs from top to bottom. The preview shows every change right away. On a phone, “Open as guest” shows the view your guests get.
4. Save. Anyone who opens your link after that sees the new page.

If you design one page differently from the others, the editor marks the section in question with “Different from the … page”. “Apply to all pages” or “Same as the … page” brings the pages back in line. Both take effect immediately, and “Undo” stays available for a few seconds afterward.

Under “Layout”, you choose how the page is structured. Which layouts are offered depends on your badge's format: square, portrait, story or landscape. Some layouts have extra slots for text, which you fill in on the “Texts” tab.

Under “Color style”, one click resets all the colors on the page, and the badge stays as it is. “Standard” shows the OneClickBadge colors. “From your badge” builds a light header from your badge's accent color, and “Bold” lets that color run into dark tones. There are also calm and glowing styles. If you change the badge's palette later, the page colors don't update by themselves. In that case, simply choose the color style again.

With “Custom style”, you set the colors yourself: page background, header area, text color (automatic if you like) and the color of the buttons and input fields.

Under “Logo and header”, you upload your own logo for the page header. Without your own logo, the header shows your badge's logo, or otherwise the event name. This logo applies only to the page. The badge and the link preview keep their own. You also decide whether a backing sits behind the logo, how large the page header is and what color the top bar has.

On the “Texts” tab, you write the Eyebrow, Headline and Welcome message. If the fields stay empty, the page shows a default text. Use the welcome message to say briefly what your guests should do next. Two examples to adapt:

Great to have you on our stage. Add your photo and your name and get your badge to announce your talk.

We're looking forward to seeing you at Design Summit. Create your personal badge with your photo and name and show your network that you'll be there.

Under “Form of address”, you choose whether the page speaks to your guests informally or formally. This switches the page's built-in text. Your own text stays the way you wrote it, and if it still uses the informal form, the editor points this out. The choice is available for languages that have a formal form of address.

Under “Form field names”, you name the input fields the way your guests will understand them, for example “Company or university”. Under “After saving”, you write what your guests see as soon as their badge is ready: a headline, a sentence below it and the note about the post text.

Under “Link to your event”, enter the address of your program or registration page. Give the button a name that says where it leads, for example “See the program”.

An event hashtag and your event link go into the suggested post text. This applies as long as you have the suggested text switched on and the guest hasn't already rewritten the suggestion themselves.

Under “Sponsors & partners”, you can show up to 30 logos, each with a name and website if you like, plus a heading such as “Presented by”. An entry without a logo isn't saved.

If you offer several badges through one shared link, the selection page has its own entry in the editor. It takes its colors and logo from the Speaker page, or otherwise from the Visitor page, until you change an area on the selection page itself. Its texts and layout are designed separately.

The “Design link preview” tile sits in the same “Customize” block. This is where you design the card that appears when your link is shared. The link's address stays the same.

1. Choose a style: “Color scheme” is preselected and uses your badge's colors. There are also “Cream”, “Dark”, “Custom color” and “Custom image”.
2. With “Color scheme” and “Custom color”, you pick a shade from the palette, your own colors or a hex value. For “Custom image”, upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB.
3. Enter a title of up to 80 characters. If you leave it empty, the event name appears there. Decide whether the event logo appears on the card.
4. If you have speaker and visitor badges, switch the preview between the two. Save with “Save card”.

The style applies to the speaker link and the visitor link together, but each badge gets its own card drawn with the matching image. Additional badges use the card of the badge they're based on. The card measures 1200 × 630 pixels. The shared link of the selection page shows the Speaker page's card, or otherwise the Visitor page's.

First check whether “Save card” went through and the dashboard shows the new card. Chats and networks often cache previews for a while, so test your link in a new message or a fresh draft.

On LinkedIn, the Post Inspector fetches the card again: enter the link, inspect it, done. The new card applies to new posts. Posts that are already live keep their previous preview, as the LinkedIn help article listed in the sources below explains.

Open your link on a computer and on a phone, just as your guests will receive it.

• Are the logo, headline and form easy to read on both screens?
• Do the welcome message and badge suit the group receiving this link?
• Does the subject of the cover image stay visible, and should it appear in place of the card when the link is shared?
• Does the button lead to the right place, and is the hashtag correct?
• Can you create and download a badge with a test name and photo?
• Does a new message show the preview you expect?

Then the link is ready to go out. How to get your speakers to share it is covered in the guide Get speakers to post. The full plan for before and after the event is in Promote your event on LinkedIn.
