Use Case · Event Registration
Event registration that
manages itself.
Teams use Brieform to run event registrations that handle capacity limits and auto-send calendar invites — then ask their AI to read and count registrations without a spreadsheet. No Eventbrite fees, no custom integration.
Why event registration is messier than it looks
Running a free event feels like it should be simple. Post a form, collect signups, show up on the day. But the moment you have more than 20 people, things start breaking: you don't know if someone with dietary restrictions is coming, you can't tell who signed up for which session at a multi-track conference, and you're manually emailing calendar invites from your personal account at 11pm.
Paid events add another layer. Eventbrite takes 6–8% of every ticket, wraps your event in their brand, and routes all attendee data through their platform. Building a custom ticketing flow is a week of engineering work. Most teams end up with a Google Form feeding a spreadsheet they manually sort through the day before the event.
Brieform handles the parts that kill ops time: capacity enforcement, waitlist switchover, calendar invite attachments, and dietary and accessibility questions. Your AI reads the attendee list on demand. You keep the attendee relationship. No platform fees.
What a Brieform event registration does
How a Brieform event registration flows
- 1
You post the registration link in your email newsletter, Twitter/X, or community
- 2
Attendee fills in name, email, ticket type, dietary requirements, and any session preferences
- 3
Brieform checks capacity — if full, the form switches to waitlist mode and informs the attendee
- 4
Attendee receives a confirmation email with event details and a calendar invite (.ics) attached
- 5
Ask your AI: "How many people registered this week?" — it calls get_responses and answers inline
- 6
If your AI has Slack connected, ask it to post a milestone ping when registrations hit 50% capacity
- 7
Export CSV the day before the event for check-in, caterer, or venue logistics

FAQ
What happens when the event is full?
The form automatically switches to waitlist mode when your capacity limit is reached. Waitlisted registrants receive a different confirmation email letting them know their spot is pending. If someone cancels, you can manually promote from the waitlist — a future feature will automate this.
Can I send a calendar invite with the confirmation email?
Yes — configure the .ics calendar attachment in the confirmation email settings. Attendees get the invite automatically on submit, compatible with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar.
Can I collect dietary restrictions and accessibility requirements?
Yes — add the relevant fields in the wizard. Export CSV on the day of the event and filter by dietary requirement to share with the caterer or venue. Or ask your AI: 'List all attendees with dietary restrictions.'
Does this work for free events and paid events?
Brieform handles registration and attendee management for free events natively. For paid events, configure a Stripe payment link that fires in the confirmation email — attendees pay after registering. Native payment collection is on the roadmap.
