When planning a virtual event with Sequel, tools such as Eventbrite or luma will allow you to collect advanced registration prior to your event going live. Advanced registration via paid ticketing tools can be embedded into a public landing page on your site (e.g. “/eventregistration”) that is built out to include a speaker and event information.
You can then create a secondary hidden page on your website (e.g. “/eventhome”) where the Sequel Virtual Stage will be embedded and host your live event. This way your event will not be accessible to the public and only to those that have successfully registered for your live event. Once you integrate your form to the Sequel event, each registrant will pass to Sequel, which will then trigger confirmation emails and automatic calendar holds for the event.
Connect a third-party registration tool to Sequel.io using Zapier
As an example, if you'd like to connect Eventbrite directly to Sequel.io using Zapier start by selecting Eventbrite's New Attendee Registered Trigger. Next, select Sequel.io's Register an Attendee to an Event Action. You'll need to log into both accounts and test the Zap. Now attendees will automatically receive their Sequel.io Registration Confirmation Email when they register with Eventbrite.
To avoid people sharing the page where you've embedded the Sequel.io component, select Third-party registration in your admin dashboard.
