Which plans are the Hopin<>Airtable integration currently available on?

The Airtable Integration is available to all Hopin plans.

Setting up Airtable

To get started, you will need to install the Airtable app to your Hopin Organization. You can access the app store by going to your Organization Dashboard and heading to the Apps tab. Then click on Discover More on App Store.

Testing the Airtable Integration

We can now test the app's functionality. First, you can create a registration in Hopin to check that it's pushed to Airtable. To do that, you can navigate to the Events tab, select an event, and use the Preview link to access the registration page (this assumes at least one ticket has been created and the event has been published):

Register for the event in the registration page (if you have already registered with your account, you can unregister yourself in the Event Dashboard > People > Attendees page):

Once you register for an event if there is no registration in Airtable, it will create a new one or if it exists it will update that with the fields that was chosen above in the screen configuration.

If the same person attends the event the registration would be marked with status attended.

And that's how you integrate Airtable with Hopin!
