How to Use Zapier with Eventbrite

Zapier lets you connect Eventbrite to your other apps so you can automate event management tasks without writing code. This guide walks you through how to set up, use, and troubleshoot your Eventbrite automations.

The instructions in this article are based on Zapier's official Eventbrite help section, organized into a step-by-step how-to format.

Before you start with Zapier and Eventbrite

Before creating any workflows, make sure your Eventbrite account is ready to connect.

• You need an active Eventbrite account.
• You should have at least one event created, or a plan for new events you'll manage through Zapier.
• Confirm you have permission to access attendee and order data in Eventbrite.

You'll also need a Zapier account. A free plan works for basic testing, but higher usage and premium workflows may require a paid plan.

How to connect Eventbrite to Zapier

Follow these steps the first time you use Eventbrite as a trigger or action in Zapier.

1. Sign in to Zapier.

   Log in to your Zapier dashboard in your browser.

2. Create a new Zap.

   Click the button to create a new Zap from your dashboard.

3. Choose Eventbrite as the trigger app.

   In the trigger search box, type "Eventbrite" and select it.

4. Pick a trigger event.

   Common Eventbrite triggers in Zapier include:

   • New attendee registered
   • New order placed
   • New event published
5. Connect your Eventbrite account.

   Zapier will prompt you to sign in to Eventbrite. Approve access so Zapier can securely read event, order, and attendee data.

6. Test the connection.

   Use the built-in test feature to confirm Zapier can pull sample data from Eventbrite, such as recent attendees or orders.

Using Eventbrite triggers in Zapier

Once your connection is set up, you can use Eventbrite triggers in Zapier to start automated workflows whenever something happens in your events.

Popular Eventbrite trigger examples in Zapier

• New attendee: Start a Zap whenever someone registers for an event.
• New order: Run actions when a purchase is completed.
• New event: Trigger follow-up workflows when you publish a new event.

In Zapier, each trigger step lets you:

• Select the Eventbrite organization or user if you have access to multiple accounts.
• Filter by specific events if needed.
• Load recent samples to map into later steps.

How to configure a trigger in Zapier

1. Select the trigger event.

   In the Zap builder, choose the Eventbrite trigger that matches your use case.

2. Choose the account.

   Pick the Eventbrite account you connected earlier or add a new one.

3. Refine the scope.

   Depending on the trigger, you may be able to limit it to specific events or statuses.

4. Test the trigger.

   Click "Test" so Zapier can pull in example data from Eventbrite. Make sure at least one recent order or attendee exists so the test succeeds.

Using Eventbrite actions in Zapier

Eventbrite can also be used as an action step in Zapier, allowing you to create or update data in your events from other apps.

Common Eventbrite actions available in Zapier

• Create or update attendees using data from forms or CRMs.
• Create events based on information in project management or calendar tools.
• Update event details when data changes in other systems.

How to set up an Eventbrite action in Zapier

1. Choose an action app.

   In your Zap, add an action step and select "Eventbrite" as the app.

2. Select the action event.

   Pick the specific Eventbrite action you want to run.

3. Connect or confirm your account.

   If you have already connected Eventbrite, select that connection. Otherwise, follow the prompts to authorize Zapier.

4. Map fields from previous steps.

   Use the data from earlier Zapier steps to populate Eventbrite fields, such as:

   • Attendee name
   • Email address
   • Ticket type
   • Event ID
5. Test the action.

   Run a test to confirm Zapier can successfully send data to Eventbrite. Check your Eventbrite dashboard to verify the new or updated record.

Best practices for Eventbrite automations in Zapier

To keep your workflows reliable and organized, follow these best practices when using Zapier with Eventbrite.

• Name your Zaps clearly. Include "Eventbrite" and the target app names in each Zap title.
• Use filters. Add filter steps in Zapier so your Zap only runs for specific events, ticket types, or statuses.
• Handle duplicates. Use search or lookup steps in other apps before creating new records to avoid duplicates from Eventbrite data.
• Test each change. Whenever you update a Zap, publish changes only after running a successful test with recent Eventbrite data.

Troubleshooting Eventbrite issues in Zapier

If your Eventbrite workflows in Zapier are not working as expected, review these common issues.

Connection or authentication problems

• Expired authorization: Reconnect your Eventbrite account from the Zapier "My Apps" page.
• Permission errors: Make sure your Eventbrite user has full access to the organization and events used in your Zaps.
• Multiple accounts: Confirm you are connecting the correct Eventbrite account in Zapier, especially if you manage events for multiple organizations.

Missing or incorrect data in Zapier

• Verify that the Eventbrite event has recent attendees or orders so test data is available.
• Check that each mapped field in your Zapier action matches the correct Eventbrite field.
• Review filters and conditions to be sure they are not excluding valid records from Eventbrite.

Zap errors or task failures

• Open the Zap task history in Zapier to view detailed error messages.
• Look for Eventbrite-specific errors, such as invalid event IDs, ticket types, or required fields missing.
• Update your Zap settings, then retest with a fresh sample from Eventbrite.

Optimizing your Eventbrite workflow design in Zapier

Once your basic automations are running, you can refine them for better reliability and performance in Zapier.

• Use paths or filters. Route Eventbrite data differently based on ticket type, event, or order value.
• Add delay steps. Introduce short delays before sending follow-up emails or syncing attendee data, which can help if Eventbrite data updates over a few minutes.
• Log activity. Send key details from Eventbrite to a spreadsheet or database via Zapier so you have a simple audit trail.
