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.
What it does
- 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 you’ll need
- 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 to 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.
