If you are unable to enable this tool from the event level, this means that it has been disabled from the Company tools. To do so, go to the company level, and click Account > Tools in the menu on the left-hand side. Then, scroll down until you see the Registration section, press Edit, and make sure the Cvent checkbox is checked. Press End to save the changes.

Enabling the Cvent integration at the company level

If you went to the company tools and instead of seeing the checkbox, you still saw Purchase, this means that this feature is not included in the plan you have purchased. Click here to check which features are included in each plan.

  • Sync Cvent registrations to InEvent: It will sync data from participants that are confirmed as attendees and also people who has not confirmed their presence as invitees.
  • Cvent Confirmation number as InEvent password by default: The Cvent platform requires a confirmation number from their participants, by default this will later be synched to InEvent as the users' password.

Fields

To illustrate how the integration works, let's start with the image below showing two fields that were part of the Cvent registration form:

  • Cost Centre within your Legal Entity
  • Email of your Finance Controller
Cvent questions on the reg form

And those two fields have also been added at the InEvent Registration form (Marketing > Registration > Registration form):

selecting the corresponding field from cvent to synch
The integration sync automatically every 5 minutes, and if you click on Sync data (on top left of the page) it will force sync everything straight away!

That's it! Once you go to People > Attendees or People > Invitees, you'll see those fields completed with the participants information pulled from the Cvent integration!

The custom fields magic link and enrollment date, is meant to be used when InEvent will export data to Cvent platform.
