You can sync different types of data:
Ticket order and purchase data as contact Insight data.
Event attendees as contacts in a list.
You can use this data for different reasons:
Create a program to send reminders or teasers prior to each event by enrolling contacts from the event list.
You can segment based on ticket order data and filter these orders on the Ecommerce dashboard by filtering on
order.source contains Eventbrite.Learn more about ecommerce filters in Using the Ecommerce reports.
If you have past attendee or ticket purchase data, Eventbrite syncs this historical data, too. When an event is unpublished, the list is automatically removed.
Before you start
Things you need to know:
You must have access to an Eventbrite account.
We use webhooks to pass Eventbrite data in real-time.
Two contact data fields are created when you allow the integration to create a list:
EB_LAST_EVENTandEB_LAST_EVENT_DATE.
Data sync
Each Eventbrite form you create generates a corresponding list in your Dotdigital account. This is where all of the attendees that answer your Eventbrite forms are synced to your Dotdigital account as contacts. The way Dotdigital interprets the data gathered from your Eventbrite forms depends on the question types.
Required questions
Required questions on your Eventbrite form such as first name, last name, and email address are synced to Dotdigital as contact data.
You can view the contacts synced to your Dotdigital account by opening the dedicated list that is created for each Eventbrite event.
To view Eventbrite contacts:
Go to Audience > Lists.
Find and select the Eventbrite event list to open it.
All of your contacts that have synced from your Eventbrite event form are available here.
Custom questions
Custom questions on your Eventbrite forms are synced to your Dotdigital account as attributes in the order Insight data.
To view Eventbrite order Insight data:
Go to Audience > Lists.
Find and select the Eventbrite event list to open it.
Find and select the contact you want to view to open the Single customer view.
Select the Insights tab at the top.
Select the collection and then go to products > questions.
This displays the custom questions on your Eventbrite form and contact’s answers.
Sync timings
The way this data is synced from Eventbrite to Dotdigital is dependent on the type of Eventbrite order form used:
Buyer only
For buyer only order forms, Dotdigital syncs the purchaser's first name, last name, and email at checkout, and also periodically checks for updates to the attendee to see if they have provided answers to any custom questions post-checkout. If the attendee provides answers to any custom questions, they are synced as an attribute in the order Insight data.
If an attendee provides a mobile number, this is synced to the mobile number (mobilenumberid) data field in Dotdigital.
Each attendee
For each attendee order forms, these contacts are not synced at purchase, but when the attendee information is filled out post-purchase. This information is then synced immediately after submission.
The first name, last name, and email address are then synced for those attendees to Dotdigital as contacts. Any custom questions that are also answered are then synced as attributes within the order Insight data.
