**Useful tips** #
- When you create the integration, pre-existing attendees on Eventbrite event will not sync into CrowdComms dashboard (CMS). So please ensure you create the integration prior to registrations on Eventbrite starting.
- ONLY the delegate’s First name, Surname and Email are automatically synced through to CrowdComms dashboard (CMS), all other information needs to be set up using Custom fields mapping.
- You can add as many custom fields as you wish, as long as the fields in Eventbrite are also Custom fields.
- Eventbrite Custom field can only be linked to a CrowdComms Custom field or a Person Field.
- Syncs from Eventbrite to CrowdComms dashboard (CMS) are instantaneous.
Eventbrite doesn’t send CrowdComms Deletions, so if you have removed any users from Eventbrite, you will also need to remove them manually from the CrowdComms platform.
