Whether you are using the drag and drop editor or the legacy* editor to create your email campaigns, one of the available features is the Events block. It allows you to connect to your Eventbrite account so that you can insert invitations and collect RSVPs right from your campaign.
How to add the Events block to a drag and drop campaign
- Navigate to your Campaigns tab.
- Open a saved drag and drop draft or click on the Create new campaign button to create a new campaign from scratch.
- Click on the Events icon in the right panel and drag it to the desired location in your mailing.
- Click on the Connect to Eventbrite button.
- In the pop-up window that appears, click on the Connect button and enter your Eventbrite credentials.
- When prompted, click on the Allow button to give the editor permission to connect to your Eventbrite account.

How to monitor your event activity
Once you have added an event to your campaign and sent it, you can check the results by going to your Response tab. If you’ve added the option to buy tickets to an event to your mailing, you’ll see a new tab labeled Tickets sold on that mailing’s response page. Click on the Tickets sold tab to view the breakdown for each event in the mailing, if you included more than one.
On the Overview page, you’ll see an Eventbrite section that shows the revenue (if you’re charging for the tickets), tickets sold, tickets for sale, how many tickets were sold through the campaign, and the revenue through the campaign.
* In April 2022, our legacy editor was replaced with a new drag and drop editor. Accounts that existed prior to this change still have access to the legacy editor through their previously saved templates and campaigns, however new, from-scratch campaigns can only be created in the new drag and drop editor. Accounts that were created after this change only have access to the new drag and drop editor. Please refer to our new editor FAQ article for more information.
