Automating Guest List additions using the HTTP API (Typeform -> Zapier -> Gather Guest List)

[ArtemisFaul]

We wanted to automate the process of adding newly registered users for our Conference to the Guest Lists of the conference spaces. This allows users direct access to a Guest Listed Gather Space after completing a signup form.

Here is the tutorial Jason recorded about the process:

Let me see it!

Here is the code Jason was using in the tutorial:

{
	"apiKey": "YOURAPIKEYHERE",
	"spaceId": "YOUR SPACE ID REMEMBER TO USE \\",
	"guestlist": {
		"EMAIL ADDRESS": {
			"name": "NAME HERE",
			"affiliate": "AFFILIATION HERE"
		}
	}
}

Now some more links:

• Our Pipeline:
  Typeform → Zapier → Gather
  Typeform and Zapier could, theoretically, be replaced with other similar tools.

• Gather HTTP API documentation (this is changing a lot, so subscribe to the dev updates):

• Zapier Webhooks documentation

Damn this is awesome! Sharing this internally ASAP!

Good Job and well explained.

This is exactly how I did it few months ago. Thus, I used MS Powerautomate instead of Zapier.

This was insanely helpful and solved a HUGE problem I’ve had in my membership community to give them access immediately instead of waiting on me to add them manually.

Now I just have to solve removing them if they stop paying their monthly membership payment.
