Thanks for the context @danielrnorris
So my understanding of custom objects, is that they are there to help you create objects and relationships that don’t currently exist in HubSpot. Some common uses I have seen are:
- a contract object, which has a 1:1 relationship with a deal and contains additional contract related information
- homes for real estate agent businesses - part inventory management, and associated to deals (kinda like a line item/product)
- partner or vendor information - again associated with deals, which partner is working on what with us
Your use case sounds like something that could either:
- be done with marketing events - I have to admit I’ve not used them much myself yet
- be handled via an actual events software integration like Eventbrite, Splash, Bevy, etc. - my view has always been why re-invent or re-build something that already exists
- or you would need to ensure you have specific forms for each event to send/associate the actual event name, avoid creating a new custom object
I hope that helps.
