Registering multiple event attendees via one form

Anne Mullaney

Hi,

We are hosting an event for which multiple people from a single organization might register. We are having trouble creating a form for this use case. Does anyone have any experience with this and/or tips and suggestions?

A couple scenarios are:

  • A single person might register and attend. (Pretty straight forward!)
  • An administrator might register on someone else's behalf
  • An single person might register him/herself and another person(s)
  • An administrator might register multiple attendees.

We can create a form with name1/email1, name2/email2, name3/email3, etc., but ultimately we need each of those name/email combos to be their own record so that we can create segments of participants.

Thanks for any insight you might have!

    Hi Anne! Great question. Here's one solution that we've implemented here at Act-On:

    https://success.act-on.com/acton/media/9883/customer-profile

    The steps we followed to set this up are...

    1. Create a form with the fields you'd like for one individual submission
    2. Copy the form 3 times for a total of 4 forms (that all write to the same list)
    3. Embed the 4 forms into the same landing page
    4. Adjust the response text for the first 3 forms to say, "if you have more entries please submit them below"
    5. Adjust the response text for the final form to say, "if you have even more entries please refresh the page"

    Of course, that's just one possible way to address this. But it's pretty easy to get going!

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your suggestion. I ended up doing something very similar, except that instead of text blocks I created additional landing pages with the copied form embedded as the response pages. Your way is definitely less complex!
