Verifying event registration emails
Event organisers rely on registration emails for tickets, joining details and reminders. Verify addresses as people register, so a typo is fixed before a ticket goes missing, then verify the full attendee export before post-event follow-up, when the list stops being transactional and starts counting against your marketing bounce rate.
This page is for the organiser of the event. If you exhibited at someone else's event and came home with badge scans, see trade show and conference leads.
What goes wrong with registration data
A typo means a lost ticket and a queue at the door
A registrant who mistypes their address never receives the ticket or the joining link, and turns up at the help desk. Catching the typo on the form is the only cheap fix.
Free events attract throwaway addresses
When a ticket costs nothing, some people register with a disposable inbox to avoid follow-up. Those come back invalid, so you can decide whether to accept them.
Group registrations use guessed addresses
One person often registers colleagues, guessing their addresses or using a shared office inbox. Guesses come back invalid; shared inboxes come back risky as role-based addresses.
After the event, the rules change
Tickets and reminders are transactional. A post-event newsletter or sales offer is commercial email, which needs an unsubscribe option under the FTC's CAN-SPAM guidance and counts toward your platform's bounce rate.
Before, during and after the event
Verify on the registration form
If the form posts to your own backend, call the API on submit. If it is Typeform or Google Forms, add a verification step through Zapier, as in verifying leads automatically with Zapier.
Chase failed registrations a week out
Export registrations, verify them, and contact anyone with an invalid address by phone or through their colleague's booking, before reminders go out.
After the event, verify the full export
Use the guides for Eventbrite, Typeform or Google Forms and import only the valid file into your marketing platform.
Registrants: what to do with each result
| Result | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| valid | Send ticket and follow-up | Confirmed mailbox. |
| risky · Role-based address | Send ticket; ask for a personal address | office@ or events@ reaches someone, but maybe not the attendee. |
| risky · Accepts all addresses | Send ticket | Corporate catch-all; most are real. |
| invalid · Disposable address | Accept or reject by your policy | Real person, no follow-up wanted. |
| invalid · Mailbox not found | Contact another way before the event | They will not get the ticket. |
Common questions
- Can I verify Eventbrite registrations?
- Yes. Export attendees from Eventbrite as a CSV and upload it as it is. The results keep every Eventbrite column, so you can match failed addresses back to orders.
- Should I block disposable addresses on a free event?
- That is a policy choice. Blocking them reduces no-shows and unreachable registrants; allowing them keeps the event open to people who do not want follow-up.
- When should I verify an attendee list?
- Twice: about a week before the event, to fix addresses while tickets can still be resent, and before the first post-event marketing email.
