What is Eventbrite?

Eventbrite is a platform for live events.  It's designed to help event organizers manage the end-to-end process of putting on an event (e.g., find venues, get sponsors, sell tickets). Eventbrite makes it easy for anyone to organize and promote their own live events--from concerts, conferences or sports games to fundraisers and social gatherings of all shapes and sizes.

How to connect Zapier and Eventbrite

Zapier has this helpful guide to help you connect Zapier + Eventbrite.

To summarise, you'll want to create a new zap and select Eventbrite as your trigger or action app.

Zapier will prompt you to connect your Eventbrite account and when you click "Connect an Account" you'll be redirected to the Eventbrite site and prompted to login (if you aren't already).

‍

Next, Eventbrite will ask you to give permission to Zapier to access your account data. You'll need to allow this to finish connecting Eventbrite in your Zapier account.

‍

Once done, you'll find yourself back in the zap editor and will be able to continue building your zap.
