Hey everyone! I’m new to Zapier and trying to streamline my event registration process. I’ve got this idea for an automation, but I’m stuck on the setup. Here’s what I want to do:
Automatically add new registrants’ info (name, email, ID) to a Google Sheet
Sort exhibitors into a special group based on their job title
Keep a quick list of the first three people who sign up
The tricky part is getting the webhook to play nice with my event platform. It’s giving me a headache! Has anyone dealt with something similar before? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful. I’m all ears for any advice you can throw my way!
I’ve faced similar challenges with Zapier and event registration automation.
For the webhook issue, make sure your event platform supports outgoing webhooks. If it does, you’ll need to configure it to send data in a format Zapier can understand, usually JSON.
To sort exhibitors, use a Zapier Filter step after your webhook trigger. Set conditions to check the job title field and route exhibitors accordingly.
For the quick list of first three signups, create a separate Zap that triggers on new registrations and uses a Storage by Zapier step to maintain a counter. When the counter hits 3, stop adding names.
Remember to test each step thoroughly. Zapier’s built-in testing tools are invaluable for troubleshooting. Good luck with your automation project!
I’ve been in your shoes with Zapier automation for events. Here’s what worked for me:
For the webhook, check if your event platform has a Zapier integration. If not, you might need to use a custom webhook URL from Zapier. It can be tricky, but once set up, it’s smooth sailing.
Sorting exhibitors is straightforward with Zapier’s ‘Filter’ action. Just set up a condition to check the job title field.
For the first three signups, I used Zapier’s ‘Storage’ feature. It keeps a running count, and you can set up an action to stop after three entries.
One tip: start small. Get one part working, then build on it. It’s less overwhelming that way.
Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to Zapier support. They’ve been incredibly helpful when I’ve hit roadblocks. Good luck with your automation!
