Eventbrite Whatsapp Automation
Instantly confirm tickets, tag attendees, and send event reminders through WhatsApp to boost attendance and create a smoother guest experience.
Why This Workflow Matters
This workflow lets you welcome every ticket buyer instantly, without lifting a finger. As soon as someone purchases a ticket, they receive a clear WhatsApp confirmation and are automatically organized in your CRM. You can then remind them about the event at the right time, keeping your event top of mind and increasing the chances they actually show up. It’s a simple way to deliver better communication, save time, and grow your attendance.
How The Automation Works
- Trigger: Ticket purchased
When someone buys a ticket for your Eventbrite event, the workflow is automatically activated.
- ActiveCampaign Actions: Tag attendee, webhook
The attendee is tagged in ActiveCampaign (for example, as an event attendee), and a webhook is triggered to connect with the D7 WhatsApp API.
- WhatsApp Message Sent: “Your ticket for {{event_name}} is confirmed.”
Using the webhook, a WhatsApp message is sent to the attendee to confirm their ticket and reassure them that their spot is secured.
- Follow-Up Steps: Event reminders
Before the event, follow-up WhatsApp reminders are sent so attendees remember the date and time, and are more likely to show up.
- Goal / KPI: Attendance rate
The main objective of this workflow is to increase attendance rates by confirming tickets quickly and staying in touch with attendees until the event.
