Use Mailchimp Sync for Eventbrite

Mailchimp Sync for Eventbrite is a free extension for your Eventbrite account that can help you communicate with event attendees. Use Sync for Eventbrite to remind your contacts about an upcoming event. You can also sync your attendees to your Mailchimp audience, and view ticket purchase information in reports and contact profiles.

In this article, you'll learn how to connect, disconnect, and use Mailchimp Sync for Eventbrite.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• You need administrator-level permissions in Eventbrite to complete this process.
• Sync for Eventbrite supports all types of public events, and certain private event types. Invite-only events can't be shared with Mailchimp, but you can still sync event data to your audience.
• Eventbrite syncs to only one Mailchimp audience at a time, so you may have attendees for several events in the same audience.
• Only one email address can be saved per event purchase. If an attendee purchases multiple tickets at once, only one email address is added to your Mailchimp audience.
• Mailchimp Sync for Eventbrite has been updated with API 3.0 functionality so you can segment by purchase activity. However, Eventbrite does not support certain automations like Abandoned Cart, First Purchase, and Order Notifications.
• To view the e-commerce features supported by this integration, visit the Eventbrite listing in your account.

View Eventbrite Data in Mailchimp

After you set up Mailchimp Sync for Eventbrite, you can view ticket buyers and their data in the following places.

Contact Profiles

When an attendee is added to your Mailchimp audience from Eventbrite, the following information is included in their contact profile.

• Profile Info
  Attendee email address, first name, and last name.
• Tags
  Event information, like venue, event name, event organizer, topics, and sub-topics will appear as tags.
• Signup source
  Attendee signup source will be noted as Eventbrite.
• E-commerce activity
  Attendee's Eventbrite ticket purchases appear in the contact Activity Feed.

If an attendee's email address is already in your Mailchimp audience, Mailchimp Sync won't overwrite any data, but it will add their event ticket purchases to their activity.

Audience Segments

Segment your audience by purchase activity to view contacts who purchased tickets to a particular event.

Create segments with tags to view contacts who have participated in Eventbrite events. These tags are categorized by venue, event name, event organizer, topics, and sub-topics.

You can also send an email to the segment, or save the segment as a CSV file on your computer.

When you create new events in Eventbrite, they will be stored as products in Mailchimp and available to review in the Content Studio.

You can add your events to Product Content Blocks or Product Recommendation Blocks in emails and landing pages.
