SendBeam and Eventbrite

Add Eventbrite attendees to SendBeam as contacts, tagged by event, for reminders and follow-ups.

Events are one of the best ways to grow a list. Connecting Eventbrite to SendBeam adds each attendee as a contact with a tag for the event, so reminders, the recording and the next date all go out from SendBeam.

Native integration: no

SendBeam has no Eventbrite app of its own. The routes below connect the two through n8n, Make or Zapier today, with the SendBeam node in n8n doing the SendBeam side for you.

How it works

  1. Pick your automation tool. n8n with the official SendBeam node, Make or Zapier. Each connects to Eventbrite with its own trigger, shown below.
  2. Create an API key. Settings → API keys in SendBeam, with contacts:write, and lists:write if the workflow adds people to a list. The full key is shown once. To send SendBeam events out instead, add an endpoint under Settings → Webhooks.
  3. Map the fields and test. Map the fields between Eventbrite and SendBeam, run the workflow once with your own address, and check the result before switching it on.

Code

In n8n: Eventbrite to SendBeam

n8n workflow 
1. Eventbrite Trigger, with the action order.placed
2. SendBeam → Contact → Create or update
     Email       the attendee's email from step 1
     First name  the first name, if there is one
     Source      eventbrite
3. SendBeam → Contact → Add to list
     Contact     By email, the same expression as step 2
     List        From list, then pick the list by name

Install the SendBeam node from Settings → Community nodes (n8n-nodes-sendbeam). Adding someone who is already a contact, or already on the list, succeeds, so the workflow is safe to re-run.

In Make: Eventbrite to the REST API

Make scenario 
Module 1: the Eventbrite module that watches for new attendees
Module 2: HTTP → Make a request
URL:          https://sendbeam.io/api/v1/contacts
Method:       POST
Headers:      x-api-key = sb_live_XXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Body type:    Raw
Content type: JSON (application/json)
Request content:
{
  "email": "{{1.email}}",
  "first_name": "{{1.first_name}}",
  "source": "eventbrite"
}

Replace {{1.email}} and {{1.first_name}} with the attendee's email and the name, mapped from module 1. A 409 answer means the contact already exists; route it to GET /api/v1/contacts?q= with the same address if you need the contact's id.

In Zapier: Eventbrite to the REST API

Zap 
Trigger  Eventbrite → New Attendee Registered
Action   Webhooks by Zapier → POST
URL           https://sendbeam.io/api/v1/contacts
Payload type  json
Data
  email       the attendee's email
  first_name  the first name
  source      eventbrite
Headers
  x-api-key   sb_live_XXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Webhooks by Zapier is available on Zapier's paid plans. The SendBeam app for Zapier will replace this step with a Create Contact action once it is listed in Zapier's directory.

Things to know

  • Tag contacts with the event name so a later event can be announced to past attendees only.
  • Only add people to a marketing list if they agreed to hear from you. Someone who only bought or booked can still get receipts and reminders through Send transactional.

Go further

  • Calendly — Add people who book a Calendly meeting to SendBeam, so follow-ups go out after the call.
  • Typeform — Turn Typeform responses into SendBeam contacts, on the list and with the tags you choose.
  • Google Sheets — Add each new row of a Google Sheet to SendBeam as a contact — handy for lists people still keep in a spreadsheet.
