Why Integrate Swapcard with Eventbrite?

Swapcard powers the event experience across web and mobile, including networking, session engagement, lead capture, exhibitor ROI, and analytics. Eventbrite is widely used for event registration and ticketing. When integrated, the two platforms help you create a more connected workflow from registration to event participation, without relying on repeated CSV imports.

Swapcard helps event organizers deliver engaging event experiences with attendee networking, exhibitor ROI tools, content management, and analytics.

What the Integration Enables

  • Duplicate control via email logic – Email is used as the unique identifier. If multiple records share the same email, Swapcard keeps the record linked to the most recent ticket. 
  • Attendee eligibility filtering – Only attendees with the status Attending are imported from Eventbrite to ensure the data is relevant.
  • Streamlined check-in and engagement – Automatically import attendees into Swapcard as they register in Eventbrite, keeping your attendee list ready for badge scanning, session access, and networking.
  • Structured attendee data import Import buyer and attendee data, such as name, email, status, and address, into Swapcard.
  • Flexible sync options  – Use full refresh, incremental sync, or webhook support depending on your event setup and data needs.
