Initiating Event in Eventbrite
- Former user (Deleted)
Owned by Former user (Deleted)
The first use case in the Eventbrite business scenario is used for initiating an event. This page describes the relevant tasks and the operations you use in the Eventbrite connector and the other ESB connectors.
Overview
The flow for initiating an event is illustrated in the following diagram. The ESB connectors for GoToWebinar will be used to connect to each service.Â
In this use case, events and tickets will be created. Webinars are created in GoToWebinar as an offline process of the ESB.
- Retrieve selected Webinars from the GoToWebinar API using the getWebinarById operation and create events in the Eventbrite API using the createEvent operation.
- Create tickets in the Eventbrite API for the above created events using the createTicketClass operation.
- Publish the above events in the Eventbrite API using the publishEvent operation.
