Eventbrite clients Typically you will only have one Eventbrite account, however you can add other accounts from this screen by clicking on the Add Eventbrite Connection button. Once added you will see an entry in the Connected Eventbrite Organisations table.
Nex to each connection record there is a dropdown to the left allows you to disconnect a client or change the Salesforce user. This controls the security for the Eventbrite organization and it's related events, orders, attendees and any leads, contacts or accounts that are created by the integration.
When combined with Salesforce sharing rules, this provides advanced security management for who can see, edit, delete Eventbrite records from within Salesforce.
Storage Like any app that creates records, Eventbrite for Salesforce uses some of your records storage capacity. Each Salesforce record takes approximately 2KB, so if you have 10,000 attendees, syncing them will take up approximately 20MB of space.
Salesforce Storage Settings section you can choose to work with Events, Orders/Attendees or an overal sync date.Events, Orders / Attendees Sync Date
You need to store a minimum of 12 months data.

FAQs
How do I purge Eventbrite data?
If you need to remove the Eventbrite data created by our integration, you can perform a purge. This will remove Eventbrite records stored within our custom objects in Salesforce. This will not affect your data in Eventbrite itself. It will also not remove any standard records created by our integration. For more information please see - https://www.beaufort12.com/eventbrite/support/events#DeletingEvents
Can I connect more than 1 account?
You can connect more than one Eventbrite account to Salesforce. To do this you simply need to go to the sync settings page and click add Eventbrite connection. For more information please see - https://www.beaufort12.com/eventbrite/support/settings#Clients
Does your integration support Salesforce Platform licenses?
Salesforce Platform licenses are very limited and don't include 'marketing features. From an object-level perspective, this means a platform license cannot access standard Salesforce objects like opportunities, leads, or campaigns. These objects are intrinsic to our Eventbrite integration. For this reason, users with a platform license will not be able to access our Eventbrite records in Salesforce.
How do I re-parent records?
The Eventbrite integration can create standard records (contacts, leads, accounts, campaigns, campaign members, or opportunities) but out of the box, this is turned off. When we create Eventbrite order and attendee records in Salesforce, we will attempt to match them to existing contacts or leads using the standard email address. If a match cannot be found, the Eventbrite order or attendee record will be created but will not be linked.
Changing how a record is matched
If you change to matching rules or are already using matching rules and change to a different rule, this will not re-link existing records. You can force the re-parent process of Eventbrite attendee and order records by running a full sync.
Creating standard records
Our application will never delete standard records i.e. contacts, leads, accounts, campaigns, campaign members, or opportunities. If they have been created in error, they will need to be manually deleted. Like any other standard Salesforce record.
How do I connect additional Eventbrite accounts?
Typically most customers only have one Eventbrite account. But our integration allows you to connect more than one if needed. The option to add another account can be found on the Eventbrite settings tab. For more information please see - https://www.beaufort12.com/eventbrite/support/settings#Clients
Salesforce checkout powers our billing. To make things a little easier, we have added some functions directly in our app:
Change billing contact details. Update your payment details. Resend invoices. Manage Billing
It is important to note that you need to be either a Salesforce system administrator. Or have our full permission set, preferably both.
How do I change the sync user?
Eventbrite for Salesforce is an integration between two platforms. It requires a user from both to allow our product to work. Should one or both of those users change, you will need to update our sync settings.
Salesforce
The sync will need to run against a user on the Salesforce side. We recommend a person with a system administrator profile. In addition, they need to have our full permission set this article shows how to add that. Finally, once the user has our full permission set, they need to be set as the Salesforce Sync User. To do this, go to the sync settings page and click the icon next to the Salesforce Sync User. Eventbrite
If you need to reconnect your Eventbrite account simply:
Go to the sync settings page. There is a Sync Now button on the top right of the screen with a dropdown arrow. Once clicked, a sub-menu will appear. Click on Reconnect to Eventbrite This screenshot also shows the steps above - https://b12.d.pr/AfxIjx
How do I perform a full sync?
It is rare but in certain cases, information between Eventbrite and Salesforce can get out of sync. There are two primary reasons this can happen.
1. Eventbrite API being unresponsive.
2. Custom code or processes which conflict with our integration.

How can I get a trial extension?
If you are working in a Salesforce production org and need longer
contact us for an extension. Salesforce sandbox trials last indefinitely but are for the sole purpose of testing.
Can I change how contacts and leads are mapped to Eventbrite attendees?
Contact or lead will be linked to an Eventbrite attendee record in Salesforce using the chosen matching method. By default, email address is the method records are matched. But if you change the matching method and want to update all existing records you can perform a full sync. This will re-match existing Eventbrite records to contact or leads using your chosen matching criteria.
How much does the integration cost?
The cost of our integration is separate from both Salesforce and Eventbrite.
Our integration works with Essential, Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions of Salesforce. If you have not purchased Salesforce yet you can still try the integration. However, you cannot purchase until your Salesforce org is fully active. Eventbrite

Billing occurs monthly from your date of purchase. Pricing is based on the number of attendees you have had in the last rolling 12 months . We use this number against our pricing tiers. See: Eventbrite for Salesforce Pricing Each month we check the number of attendees you have had for the last 12 months and use that to determine the monthly fee.

How do matching rules work?
Typically this means that your duplicate Salesforce rules aren't working. The actual setup and management of the rules are outside the scope of what we support. Matching rules are a standard Salesforce feature, you can learn more about them
here .
A way to test that your rule works as expected is to manually create a record in Salesforce and ensure that Salesforce is preventing those leads from being duplicated outside of our integration.
To help further we have provided a simple way to check your matching rule against. If you have rules set, then a button will appear just above the mappings table. For more information and to see an illustration please
click here .
How do I work with sandboxes?
When refreshing a Salesforce sandbox, there may be some settings carried across from production. It is worth noting we do have some code that runs as part of the refresh to avoid this. But in very rare scenarios, the code can be conflicted with. So to help we have two options to return settings to their default state.
In addition to this we have two further options:
1. Before starting the sandbox refresh When refreshing the Salesforce sandbox, there is now an option to run a post-installation script. You can enter the value
EventbriteSandboxRefresh this will execute our code to clear out the settings.
2. After the sandbox has been refreshed a. Open the
Salesforce developer console (developer console-->debug-->open execute anonymous window).
b. Enter in
eb4sf.EB4SFAPI.initMappings(); c. Press
Execute, t his will take a few seconds to execute.
Either option will reset the main settings, after performing these steps you will need to connect to Eventbrite.
