CRM & Email Integrations

Sync attendees to your CRM or email marketing platform while HeySummit continues to send event lifecycle emails.

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit can sync registered attendees to supported CRM and email marketing platforms, so you can include them in your wider marketing lists, newsletters, automations, and campaigns.

This is separate from the event emails that HeySummit sends during the event lifecycle. Registration confirmations, reminder emails, broadcast emails, replay emails, speaker emails, and other event-specific messages are still sent by HeySummit unless you turn those emails off in your event email settings.

What CRM and email integrations do

A CRM or email integration sends attendee details from HeySummit to another platform when people register for your event. Depending on the provider, this can include names, email addresses, ticket or attendee details, and answers to custom registration questions.

Use this when you want attendees to become part of your broader marketing system outside HeySummit, such as a newsletter list, CRM contact database, post-event nurture sequence, or other campaign.

Do not use this as a replacement for HeySummit event emails. Your connected CRM or email platform will not automatically send HeySummit event reminders or transactional event messages for you.

How to connect a CRM or email integration

  1. From your event dashboard, go to Setup > Integrations.

  2. Find CRM & Email Integrations.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Choose your provider.

  5. Follow the setup fields for that provider. This may include an API key, OAuth connection, list, audience, site, tag, or field mapping.

  6. Click Save.

After an integration is connected, new attendee registrations will sync to that provider. If the integration supports extra settings such as tags, lists, sites, or custom field mapping, make sure those are selected before relying on the sync for a campaign.

Supported providers

The available provider list may change over time, but HeySummit supports direct CRM and email integrations from the CRM & Email Integrations section of your event dashboard. Current examples include Kit, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, MailerLite, Brevo, SendFox, Pabbly, VBOUT, EngineMailer, GetResponse, Acumbamail, Salesflare, and Kajabi.

If you do not see the provider you need, you can use Zapier or contact us to let us know what you would like to connect.

Kajabi setup notes

For Kajabi, you will need Kajabi Public API access. Kajabi says Public API access requires the Pro plan or the paid Public API add-on.

In Kajabi, create or find your API credentials from Settings > Public API. In HeySummit, choose Kajabi from the CRM & Email Integrations provider list, then enter your Kajabi Client ID and Client Secret.

After your credentials are accepted, choose the Kajabi site that should receive synced attendees. You can also choose an existing Kajabi contact tag and map HeySummit custom registration fields to Kajabi custom fields.

Important email behavior

HeySummit event email subscriptions and your external marketing platform subscriptions are separate. If someone unsubscribes from HeySummit event emails, that does not automatically unsubscribe them from a separate list or campaign you run in your CRM or email provider.

You are responsible for making sure your attendee consent, privacy policy, and marketing use are appropriate for the campaigns you send outside HeySummit.
