Registration Options

The Goldcast platform provides three options for collecting registrations for your event: 

  • Goldcast Event Registration Page
  • Manual registration
    • Single registration
    • Buik registration
  • External platform registration

Goldcast Event Registration Page

Every Goldcast event has its own Registration page that can be managed in the Registration section. If you choose to collect registrations using Goldcast's registration page, you will first select which fields you want to include. 

Email, first name, and last name are always required. You may add additional fields, like Company name, Job title, Linkedin URL by checking the box next to those fields. 

You may also add your own custom fields by clicking Add Field and entering a field name and type. Each field can be required by turning on the Required toggle, or optional by turning off the toggle. 

You can also select which content will be visible on your event Registration page by selecting or deselecting the checkboxes on the left side of the page. 

Once your Registration page has been set up, you can share the link to the page to invite people to sign up for your event.

Manual Registration

For events or registrants that do not use the event's Registration page, the Goldcast platform provides several options for adding registrants to your event: Single Registration, Bulk Registration, and registrations via an external form or webhook. 

Single Registration

If you only have a handful of people to register for your event, you may wish to perform a Single Registration. Single registrations allow you to enter information for and add event registrants manually. 

The  Email, First Name, and Last Name fields are required by default and you will be asked to provide this information when adding a new registrant.

Bulk Registration

If you have multiple registrant Email IDs that you would like to register, you may wish to perform a Bulk Registration. Bulk registrations allow you to upload multiple Email IDs at once, rather than having to enter the information for each individually. While this method of registration may save you time, there are several important steps you will need to take before doing so.

  • All Email ID information must be organized by column in a spreadsheet.
  • Spreadsheet column headers must be identical to the field names setup in your Goldcast event. These names can be found under the Registration Form section of the Registration page.
  • All spreadsheets must be uploaded in a CSV file format.

External Platform Registration

If you'd like to collect event registrations using an external platform, you can pass those registrations to your Goldcast event directly using a  form post or webhook. This will allow you to import registrations created in another platform to your Goldcast org. Goldcast currently supports form and webhook registrations for Salesforce, Hubspot, Marketo, and Zapier. 

We recommend this method of registration for users who:

  • Maintain their contacts lists on another platform
  • Plan on embedding a registration form from an external platform on their website

To connect an external form to a Goldcast event, simply select the Change button on the event Registration page and select the platform your form is being hosted on.
