To customize the employer event request process in Handshake, you can include both an Event Request Survey and an Event Approval Message.
The Event Request Survey helps you collect additional information from employers beyond Handshake’s standard event questions, ensuring you have all the details you need in advance.
The Event Approval Message allows you to share important, institution-specific details with employers before they arrive, such as parking instructions, building access information, or check-in locations.
