Every 15 minutes on a cron, pick up new Eventbrite registrations and mirror them into HubSpot and Mailchimp so the marketing stack is always current. This is a deterministic three-system sync — no drafting or reasoning required, every step is a known operation over structured inputs.

Step 1. From Eventbrite, call List Orders by Organization filtered to orders created since the last run's high-water mark (persist the max `created` timestamp between runs so already-processed orders are skipped). For each order returned, call List Attendees by Order to get each attendee's `profile.email`, `profile.first_name`, `profile.last_name`, and the per-attendee `answers` array for any custom registration questions. Also carry through the event name and the order's `created` timestamp.

Step 2. Push those attendees into HubSpot with Batch Upsert Contacts, matched on `email` as the unique property, in batches of up to 100. For every contact set `firstname`, `lastname`, a custom property `last_eventbrite_event` to the event name, and `last_eventbrite_registered_at` to the order's `created` timestamp. For brand-new contacts also set `lifecyclestage` to `lead`. Contacts that already exist get updated in place — do not create duplicates.

Step 3. Subscribe the same attendees to a configured Mailchimp audience via Add Member. Send `email_address`, `status: "subscribed"`, and merge fields `FNAME` (first name), `LNAME` (last name), and `EVENT` (event name) so the audience can be segmented per event. Treat a 400 response with title `Member Exists` as a success — that just means the person was already on the list.

Configuration the workflow needs: the Eventbrite organization ID, the HubSpot custom property names (`last_eventbrite_event`, `last_eventbrite_registered_at`) which should be pre-created in HubSpot as single-line text and datetime, and the Mailchimp audience (list) ID plus its `FNAME`/`LNAME`/`EVENT` merge tags. Persist the high-water timestamp in the workflow's own storage between runs; on the very first run, seed it to now so history isn't backfilled.

Reference patterns: two of the most-installed Eventbrite Zaps combine Eventbrite → HubSpot (contact create) and Eventbrite → Mailchimp (add subscriber). See https://zapier.com/apps/eventbrite/integrations and https://zapier.com/apps/eventbrite/integrations/google-sheets--mailchimp.

Additional information

What does this prompt do?
  • Pulls new Eventbrite orders every 15 minutes and expands each one into the individual attendees with their names, emails, and any custom question answers.
  • Creates or updates each attendee as a HubSpot contact matched on email, stamps the event they registered for, and marks brand-new people as leads.
  • Adds the same attendees to a Mailchimp audience with first name, last name, and event name filled in so you can segment sends per event.
  • Remembers where it left off so the same registration is never synced twice.
What do I need to use this?
  • An Eventbrite account with organizer access to the events you want to sync.
  • A HubSpot account you can log into with permission to create and update contacts.
  • A Mailchimp account with the audience (list) you want new attendees added to.
How can I customize it?
  • Change how often it runs (every 5, 15, or 60 minutes) or narrow it to specific Eventbrite events.
  • Pick which Mailchimp audience new attendees are added to and whether they land as subscribed or in a pending double opt-in state.
  • Adjust which HubSpot properties get set on each contact, including the lifecycle stage assigned to brand-new people.

Frequently asked questions

Will this create duplicate contacts in HubSpot?
No. Contacts are matched by email address, so if the same person registers for a second event they get updated in place instead of duplicated.
What happens for someone who is already in my Mailchimp audience?
They stay subscribed and their merge fields (first name, last name, and the event they most recently registered for) get refreshed so you can segment on the latest event.
How does it avoid re-syncing the same registrations every 15 minutes?
The workflow tracks the timestamp of the most recent order it processed and only asks Eventbrite for orders placed after that point on the next run.
Do I need a paid Mailchimp or HubSpot plan?
No. This works with free HubSpot and free Mailchimp accounts. Larger volumes may bump you into a paid Mailchimp tier because of audience size, but the workflow itself does not require a paid plan.
Can I sync more than one Eventbrite event?
Yes. It pulls orders across every event under your Eventbrite organization, so every registration flows through regardless of which event it was for.
