PowerZapEvent is a powerful add-on that integrates CRM with ZapEvent, an online event registration tool. At its core, ZapEvent allows individuals to register for events (paid or free). When tied with Dynamics CRM, it's super useful add-on for event administrators.
Normally in ZapEvent, all registrants must provide full contact information, including name, address, phone number, and so on, during the registration process. When setting up the event, the administrator can add additional questions—such as food preference—that registrants must answer. For detailed instructions on how to set up an event, you can reference the PowerZapEvent user guide.
In today's blog, we'll walk you through a scenario where you want to allow guests to purchase multiple tickets at once, without having to enter contact information for each attendee. We'll be creating a fundraising event called Wine Down Wednesday to demonstrate how to do this.
Wine Down Wednesday offers 3 online ticket prices: early bird (valid from 1/1/2014 to 4/15/2014 at 11:59pmm), normal (valid from 4/16/2014 12am to 4/29/2014 at 5:00pm), and sponsor a teacher (valid from 1/1/2014 to 4/29/2014 at 5:00pm). We will also offer a general donation field, so registrants can make a monetary donation to the cause. Let's get started…
(These are the same steps you will find in the PowerZapEvent user guide.)
Once you have created your event, you will need to add event activities. In this example, we need to create an event activity for each ticket price. For now, we are just going to create one.
To verify that the event activity was set up correctly, on the event, go to Event Miscellaneous and click on Preview Your Event Page. Go through the Register Now process.
Note that when you type in the number of tickets you want to buy, the $65 (each) shows up automatically.
The order summary should reflect the cost of the tickets purchased:
You will want to add additional event activities for your other ticket prices the same way.
If you're not already using PowerZapEvent, I hope this inspires you to give it a try! You can learn more and download this add-on for CRM here.
