Add offline events to Marketing Events object

[erincarpenter]

The Marketing Event object only allows offline events to be added with contacts via an integration on online event. However, we have in-person conferences that we would like to add. Although we can add them to the object, it will not let us manually add contacts or deals to that object.

Love this as in-person events ramp back up.

We need to be able to upload a list of attendees to an in-person marketing events that we host. This is important to our attribution reporting.

Agreed - we host many webinars and events through third-party partners, with no way to use the API or integration with the platforms they're using. But this is essential to tracking our lead funnels and scoring

Suprised there are only 4 replies here. Could we please have some tracking for in-person events with native hubspot tools? 

Would love to include an event as in the contact's SOURCE property! As well as have this information feed into our attribution models without

i) doing our own custom obj solution.

ii) feeding data through api. 

Proving / tracking ROI on events is critical to our execs

Yes! more needed for marketing events to be a suitable solution.

The ability to create a marketing event and attribute contacts through workflow actions would slot into our existing processes neatly.

For a bit more colour, how our events tend to work...

- Customer signs up for event

- Customer marked as reguistered

- Customer goes through vetting process (automated or manual depending) and is market as confirmed

- Customer attends event

- Customer marked as attended or no show

So most of the functionality is there...Just needs a little more flexibility

Anyone run across better solutions for tracking events? We have considered condittional property logic and custom objects. It would be nice to be able to track Name of Event, Date of Event, Event Category and Event Engagement. Along with tracking these data points, we would like to create attribution reporting.

Has anyone managed to work around the issue by creating events via integration or API for another purpose?

Hey guys, as an interim, you can create a custom object and achieve a lot! I'd love Marketing Events to get the functionality of a proper object but I don't think we're there yet!
