CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I created an event from a previous month to document attendees and coordinate follow-up.
When I go to register the participants it doesn't give an option to not send out an email confirmation.
Is there a way to disable the system-workflow/automated-email confirmations temporarily while entering past events participants?

Thank you...but I'm still stuck:

I tried that and got the exact same response after completing the form, though:
"Event registration for [contacts name] has been added. A confirmation email has been sent to [contacts email]."

And when I tested with myself, it sent me an email which is what I'm trying to avoid.
It's an online Drupal-based install.

During offline event registration, you can uncheck "Send Confirmation and Receipt", that will not send email to the participant.

How are you entering past participants? You should use Offline event registration form: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/participant/add&reset=1&action=add&context=standalone

Thank you, again, for the reply!  I'm afraid I still don't see / can't find the option you mentioned, so, for now, just to get by, I go in and temporarily delete the contact(s)' email address(es), add them to the event, then re-enter their email address. 

I am trying to register multiple participants via batch upload, and it's sending them a receipt. Is there any way of turning that off?
