Eventbrite Integration

Example: Automatically issue points to users when they purchase tickets for your event using Zapier and Absinthe’s API. Simply modify the Zapier Trigger from New Order to any other Eventbrite Trigger to award points for other Eventbrite actions.

Setting Up Eventbrite Ticket Purchase Listener

To reward users with points when they order tickets, you’ll need to set up a Zap in Zapier that listens for ticket purchase events and then triggers a point issuance through Absinthe’s API.

Create a New Zap in Zapier

Choose Eventbrite as the Trigger App

Search for “Eventbrite” in the app selection and choose it as your trigger app. title

Select the 'New Order' Event

From the list of Eventbrite events, select “New Order”. title

Connect Your Eventbrite Account

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to connect your Eventbrite account to Zapier. Follow the prompts to authorize Zapier to access your Eventbrite.

Choose your Eventbrite Organization

Select the specific Eventbrite organziation you want to monitor for orders. title

Test the Eventbrite Trigger

Zapier will attempt to find a recent order to test the trigger. If successful, proceed to the next step.

Add a 'Run JavaScript' Action

For the action step, search for and select “Run JavaScript” by Zapier. title

Set Up the JavaScript Action Data

In the Input Data field of the Run JavaScript action, you’ll set the key to user_email and the value to the Email from the dropdown. Then you will create another Input Data field, set the key to order_price, and the value to “Attendees Costs Base Price Major Value” for the pruchase price. title

Set Up the JavaScript Action Code

In the Code field of the Run JavaScript action, you’ll paste and modify the provided JavaScript code to issue points through Absinthe’s API. Insert the API KEY we provided you to the “bearerToken” variable in the code where it says “your_api_token_here”. Then, set up the points you want to give based on conditions like the price, in the section “set up points based on conditions according to your liking”.

  const userEmail = inputData.user_email || '';
  const orderPrice = inputData.order_price || '';
  const graphqlEndpoint = 'https://gql3.absinthe.network/v1/graphql';
  const bearerToken = 'your_bearer_token_here';

  //set up points based on conditions according to your liking
  let points = "0";
  if (orderPrice > 50) {
      points = "100";
  } else {
      points = "20";
  }

  // Construct the GraphQL query
  const graphqlQuery = {
    query: `mutation IssueOffChainPoints($object: api_points_insert_input!) { 
      insert_api_points_one(object: $object) { 
        id 
      } 
    }`,
    variables: {
      object: {
        account_id: userEmail,
        amount: points, // Adjust the amount as needed
        event_name: "order_placed",
        identity_type: "EMAIL"
        metadata: {
          key: value, // Optional metadata for better analytics later
        }
      }
    },
    operationName: "IssueOffChainPoints"
  };

  // Make the API request
  try {
    const response = await fetch(graphqlEndpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${bearerToken}`
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(graphqlQuery)
    });

    const data = await response.json();

    if (data.errors) {
      throw new Error(`GraphQL Errors: ${JSON.stringify(data.errors)}`);
    }

    // Return the response data
    output = {
      success: true,
      response: data.data
    };
  } catch (error) {
    // Return error information
    output = {
      success: false,
      error: error.message
    };
  }

  // The 'output' object is automatically returned to Zapier

Custom JavaScript Action

Use the given JavaScript code in your Zapier “Run JavaScript” action to issue points when a new order is placed:

Customizing the Action Modify the JavaScript code to suit your specific needs:

Adjust the amount of points issued based on price of order.

Ensure you’re passing the necessary data (user email, order price, etc) from the Eventbrite trigger step to the JavaScript action in Zapier.

Best Practices When setting up this Eventbrite integration:

Use a clear and consistent event_name (e.g., “eventbrite_order_placed”) for easy tracking.

By following this guide, you can create a seamless integration between Eventbrite orders and your Absinthe points system, automatically rewarding users for their engagement and roles within your community.
