Salesforce event management.Attendee data synced to your CRM.

Salesforce event management with AirLST means Salesforce stays your system of record for contacts and campaigns, while AirLST runs the event: invitations, registration, guest list and check-in. The Salesforce connector turns campaign members into guests and writes invitation, RSVP, attendance and no-show back to Salesforce, so sales sees who came without waiting for a spreadsheet.

Your event results belong in Salesforce. Not in a CSV someone imports next week.

01Campaign in

Contacts and campaign members from Salesforce become the guest list, with no export in between.

02Status back

Invitation, RSVP, check-in and no-show return to the campaign member as status.

03One record

Your event team, the check-in app and Salesforce see the same guest, not three copies of a spreadsheet.

04Set up with you

Field mapping, testing and go-live with our Integration Services and your Salesforce admin.

01Contacts in

From Salesforce campaign to guest list, without a spreadsheet.

Your sales and marketing teams already build the invite list in Salesforce. The connector picks up the campaign members and creates them as guests in AirLST, with name, account, owner and the guest group you assign. The email invitation then goes out from AirLST in your design.

  • Contacts and campaign membersBecome guests in AirLST; the guest group follows a Salesforce field such as the campaign member status.
  • Field mapping per eventWhich Salesforce field fills which guest field, and which direction it syncs.
  • No second importThe guest list follows the campaign, so nobody re-imports a spreadsheet that has gone stale.
  • Objects and custom fields
Sample mapping, illustrative: fields are defined per project
02Results back

Who registered, who came, who didn’t: visible in Salesforce.

Every step a guest takes in AirLST becomes a status on the Salesforce campaign member: invitation sent, registered, declined, checked in at the door, no-show. Account owners see it on the contact, and your campaign reports show event attendance next to pipeline, without anyone rebuilding the list after the event.

Check-in at the door becomes “Attended” in Salesforce
No-shows are visible to sales, ready for follow-up
For sales

Account owners see on the contact whether their customer registered and showed up, and can follow up.

For marketing

Campaign reports show invited, registered and attended per event, next to the pipeline that campaign touches.

For the event team

The guest list, capacity, badges and check-in stay in AirLST, built for running the event itself.

The connector is a user. It has rights, and it has a log.

The Salesforce connector works through the roles and rights of the guest list, like any user, and every change it makes is recorded in the change log. Guest and event data stays with AirLST in Germany; what is stored in Salesforce is governed by your Salesforce contract, and you decide per field what crosses over.

  • Hosted in GermanyGuest and event data on servers in Germany.
  • GDPR compliantData processing in line with the GDPR, details in the Trust Center; authentication of the Salesforce connection:
  • TISAX assessedThe information security assessment standard of the automotive industry, passed by AirLST.

Example. You assign rights per connection; the connector can only do what its role allows.

What should Salesforce own, and what the event software?

Salesforce event management works best when each system does its own job. Salesforce owns the customer: contacts, accounts, owners, campaigns and the pipeline. The event software owns the event: email invitations, registration forms, the guest list with capacity and waitlist, seating chart, name badges and check-in at the door. The connector keeps both in step at the guest record, so contacts come from Salesforce and results go back.

Without that link, the invite list leaves Salesforce as a spreadsheet, gets edited by the event team and an agency, and comes back weeks later as an import, if it comes back at all. Sales never sees who attended, and marketing can’t tie the event to the pipeline. With the AirLST Salesforce connector, the status on the campaign member is updated by the event itself.

Salesforce knows who the customer is. The event software knows whether they showed up. The connector makes sure both know.

How does the setup work?

  1. Agree on the roles. Salesforce is the system of record for contacts, AirLST for the event. Decide which campaign feeds which event.
  2. Map the fields. Which Salesforce fields fill the guest record, which guest group follows which value, and which statuses go back.
  3. Connect the org. Your Salesforce admin and our Integration Services connect AirLST to your org with the rights the connector needs.
  4. Test with a sandbox event. Add test contacts to a campaign, register, check in, and read the result on the campaign member:
  5. Go live. The connector runs for every event that uses the campaign; changes are logged and can be traced.

Connector or REST API?

The Salesforce connector covers the standard flow: campaign in, status back. When you need more, such as registrations from your own website, data for a BI tool, or a link to SAP or Microsoft Dynamics next to Salesforce, the AirLST REST API and other integrations take over. Both write to the same guest record, so Salesforce, the website and the check-in app never disagree.

FAQ

Salesforce event management: frequently asked questions

Does Salesforce have event management?

Salesforce is a CRM. It tracks who you invite and how they respond through campaigns and campaign members, and its “Event” object is a calendar activity, not an event. The work of running an event itself (registration pages, guest list, capacity, badges, check-in at the door) usually lives in dedicated event management software that is connected to Salesforce. With AirLST, that connection is the Salesforce connector.

How do I track event registrations and attendance in Salesforce?

Use a campaign per event and let the event software maintain the campaign member status. With AirLST, campaign members become guests, and invitation, RSVP, check-in and no-show are written back to Salesforce as status. Your reports and dashboards in Salesforce then show who registered and who actually came, without a CSV import after the event. Which statuses and fields are used is defined per project: .

Is Salesforce Event Monitoring the same as event management?

No. Event Monitoring in Salesforce is about technical events inside your Salesforce org, such as logins, API calls and report exports, for security and usage analysis. It has nothing to do with planning conferences, product launches or customer events. If you are looking for software to manage in-person or hybrid events alongside Salesforce, that is what this page is about.

Which AirLST plan includes the Salesforce integration?

API Access (REST) is included from the Professional plan. Custom integrations with Salesforce, SAP or Microsoft 365 are delivered as part of the Enterprise implementation, with our Integration Services handling field mapping, testing and go-live. Plan details are on the pricing page.

Is AirLST listed on the Salesforce AppExchange?

The Salesforce connector is provided by AirLST and set up together with your Salesforce admin and our Integration Services. Listing and installation details: . Until that is confirmed, ask us about the setup for your org.

Where is attendee data stored when it syncs with Salesforce?

Guest and event data in AirLST is hosted in Germany and processed in line with the GDPR; AirLST is also TISAX-assessed, the information security assessment standard of the automotive industry. What lands in Salesforce is stored according to your Salesforce contract. You decide per field which data travels in which direction, so the sync carries only what your teams need.
