Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi!

If i have an event with multiple sessions, is it possible to automatically register my attendee's to all sessions somehow? Anyone got ideas here? Many many thanks in advance! :)

    The documentation around flows is quite good, you might need to dig deeper. 

    There are no event triggers as such. 

    As a starting point, you need a flow created from blank (not from a template) > then your connection is to the  'common data service' > trigger 'when record is created'  > and select your environment and Event registration.

    This will run every time a new contact registers for anything. You can add some filters to only run on a selected event.

    Hope that gets you started. Then you need the session registration bit described above. 

    Thanks,

    Hi Dilyana!

    Thank you for replying to me! I think where my confusion happen is when I am trying to create a flow and what to chose as all the options seem to want to connect with for example a third party app or Sharepoint, Office etc. Where can i simply find event triggers?

    I am really confused. Don't really have anyone in the office with this type of knowledge either

    Thank you!

    Hi @Jenoz,

    Im glad you asked the community rather than staying frustrated and stuck on your own.

    No reason for frustration, we are all still learning together.

    Completely agreeing with @Shravan Suri here on the proposed solution.

    I think what you we are saying is - if you are not using passes the marketing application OOTB will not generate session registration records for your contacts.

    You can do that yourself though using Power Atomate (Flow).

    Have a look at the documentation here

    docs.microsoft.com/.../getting-started.

    Conceptually the logic of the flow should  be along the lines of-

    - Trigger when person A registers for event B.

    - get all sessions associated with event B

    - for each of the sessions, create a session registration record with a link to the session and contact A.

    Does this make a bit more sense?

    The first time you create flows you might find it fiddly, be patient because it is nice and super powerful once you get used to it.

    Thanks,

    -DD

    Hi!

    1. For now free (i removed the pass) In the future, the client asking for this would like to be able to take a payment and also set up some installment payment (not important right now)

    2. No, the attendee should not have a choice in the matter, should automatically be added to all sessions.

    Alternatively, i am so new with using this and i am so so frustrated as i do not know how to use it at all. Literally just want to create some sort of registration to ongoing events between a set period of time (twice a week from January until June)

    I am not sure i understand what you mean by your last advice there.

    I appreciate all help!

    Hey Jennifer,

    Couple of questions here:

    1. Are the events free or is there a pass associated?

    2. Should your attendees have a choice in the session selection?

    We don't enforce session registration today, since some customer prefer to manage session level registration individually. However, you can simply create a flow that creates a session registration record for your sessions and the right contact + event registration.

    Thanks,

    Shravan
