What is Events and Workflows Integration?
Events and Workflows Integration allows you to automate the entire attendee journey, from registration to post-event engagement. You can trigger workflows when contacts register or check in, automatically enroll contacts in events through workflow actions, and use event details to personalize communication.
Key Benefits of Events and Workflows Integration
Connecting Events with Workflows helps businesses streamline event management and improve attendee engagement.
Automated Registrations: Register contacts for ticketed or RSVP events through workflows.
Instant Engagement: Send confirmation emails, SMS reminders, and follow-ups automatically.
Lead Conversion: Turn leads from forms, funnels, and Facebook Ads into event registrants.
Personalized Journeys: Customize workflows using event details, ticket types, and attendee activity.
Event-Based Timing: Schedule reminders before, during, or after an event.
CRM Integration: Create opportunities, assign tasks, and notify team members based on event activity.
Event-Based Workflow Triggers
Event-based triggers automatically start workflows when attendees register or check in. These triggers help you deliver relevant communications based on customer activity.
Event Registration
Starts a workflow when a contact registers for an event. Use it to send confirmations, add tags, notify team members, or initiate reminder sequences.
Event Checked In
Starts a workflow when an attendee checks in. Use it to send welcome messages, provide resources, or begin follow-up campaigns.
Trigger Filters
You can customize event-based workflows using filters such as:
Specific event
Registration status
Ticket type
Who booked the registration
Check-in details
Register for Ticketed Event Action
The Register for Ticketed Event action allows you to automatically register contacts for ticketed events through workflows. This helps connect your existing lead-generation campaigns with event registrations.
Common use cases:
Register leads captured through Facebook Lead Ads.
Enroll qualified prospects in workshops or webinars.
Convert funnel submissions into event registrations.
Example Workflow:
Facebook Lead Ad → Register for Ticketed Event → Send Confirmation Email
Note: Ticketed events may offer free or paid tickets. Confirm payment, ticket availability, and capacity behavior before using automated registration for paid events.Register for RSVP Event Action
The Register for RSVP Event action automatically registers contacts for RSVP events when they reach the action in a workflow.
This is useful for webinars, onboarding sessions, workshops, and other events that don't require ticket payments.
Common use cases:
RSVP contacts captured through forms or landing pages.
Register customers for onboarding sessions.
Create automated invitation and registration journeys.
Example Workflow:
Form Submission → Register for RSVP Event → Send Reminder Email
Using Event Data in Workflow Conditions
Event data allows workflows to follow different paths based on attendee information. This helps you deliver personalized experiences without creating separate workflows for every audience. Available event information includes:
Event type and name
Start and end dates
Time zone and location
Ticket information
Check-in information
For example, you can use an If/Else condition to send exclusive content to VIP attendees while sending standard reminders to other registrants.
Wait Relative to the Event Date
Event-relative Wait actions help you schedule communications around an event's actual date rather than manually calculating reminder times. Three timing options are available:
Before the Event: Send reminders a specified number of days or hours before the event.
At the Event Date/Time: Send day-of instructions or welcome messages.
After the Event: Send thank-you emails, surveys, or follow-up offers.
Example Workflow:
Event Registration → Confirmation Email → Wait Until 1 Day Before Event → Send SMS Reminder
