How to Automate Event Registration via Messenger
Set up automated event registration via Facebook Messenger. Collect attendee details, send confirmations, and manage event capacity automatically.
Set up your Facebook Event and Messenger connection
Create your Facebook Event on your Business Page and ensure Messenger is connected to Replyot. Configure a keyword trigger for the event (e.g., 'register', 'tickets', 'attend') that starts the registration flow.
Build the event registration conversation flow
Configure the AI to collect attendee information: full name, email address, phone number, ticket type (if multiple), and any special requirements. Keep the flow to 4-5 questions maximum.
Set up capacity limits and waitlist handling
Configure a maximum attendee count. When capacity is reached, the bot automatically informs new inquirers and offers to add them to a waitlist for cancellations.
Create and send registration confirmation messages
Design a registration confirmation that includes event name, date, time, location (with Google Maps link), what to bring, and a booking reference number. This serves as the attendee's official confirmation.
Set up pre-event reminder notifications
Schedule automated reminder messages 48 hours and 2 hours before the event. Include a reminder of event details and a 'Can't make it?' message with cancellation/reschedule options.
