Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when someone places an Eventbrite order, post the buyer's name, number of tickets and order total to #event-sales in Slack.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

For small event teams, a ticket sale is a good moment to react: a large group booking may want an invoice, a VIP buyer may need a call, and a first sale on a new event tells you the launch email worked. Eventbrite sends the buyer a confirmation, but the organizer sees the order only on the dashboard or in a daily summary, long after the moment has passed.

When Eventbrite fires its order webhook, ClickRuntime receives it immediately, fetches the full order through the link in the webhook, and posts a summary to Slack with the event, the buyer, the quantity and the total. No polling delay is involved.

Teams who sell limited seating, such as supper clubs and workshops, tend to keep it in a channel that the whole crew can watch.

What you get out of it

Celebrate the first sale together
A message in the channel when a new event gets its first order gives the team a shared signal that the launch worked. It keeps morale up during the quiet stretch after tickets go live.
Spot large group bookings fast
An order for twelve tickets stands out in a feed of ones and twos. The organizer can reach out the same day about seating, invoices or a group discount, instead of discovering it a week later.
Notice odd or suspicious purchases
A burst of orders from one email or an unusually large quantity is visible as it happens. You can check for resale or fraud before the tickets are used rather than at the door.
Answer 'did my order go through?' calls
When a buyer phones to ask, anyone on the team can search the channel for the name and confirm the order. This saves a trip into the Eventbrite dashboard during a busy shift.
Keep sales visible during a launch
On launch day, watching orders land one by one tells you whether to send a reminder email or relax. Waiting for a nightly report would hide the pace of sales until the evening. That feedback loop costs nothing once running.

How it works

What happens, step by step

When someone places an order on Eventbrite, Eventbrite tells ClickRuntime straight away.
ClickRuntime looks up the order to get the buyer's name, the event, the number of tickets and the amount paid.
A message appears in your #event-sales Slack channel, such as "Jordan Lee bought 2 tickets for Northwind Product Summit: $158.00".

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Eventbrite steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

new_order_alert_eventbrite.pyexample

from clickruntime import on_event, credentials, http, notify

@on_event
def handle(event):
    body = event.json or {}
    if body.get("config", {}).get("action") != "order.placed":
        return {"skipped": True}
    token = credentials.secret("EVENTBRITE_TOKEN")
    order = http.get(body["api_url"], headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
                     params={"expand": "attendees,event"}).json()
    tickets = len(order.get("attendees", []))
    notify.slack(f"🎟 {order['name']} bought {tickets} ticket(s) for {order['event']['name']['text']}: "
                 f"{order['costs']['gross']['display']}", channel="#event-sales")
    return {"order": order["id"], "tickets": tickets}

FAQ

Common questions

Does the alert fire for refunds and cancellations?

The order-placed webhook covers new purchases. Refunds and cancellations are separate events, so they do not trigger this message. You can ask for a second alert tied to the order-refunded webhook if you want to see those.

What information does the Slack message include?

It shows the event name, buyer name, number of tickets, ticket types and order total, taken from the full order record fetched after the webhook arrives. Buyer email can be left out if the channel is broad.

Can I get alerts for only one event?

Yes. The order includes the event it belongs to, so the automation can post only when it matches the event you name. Other events' orders are ignored and stay out of the channel. Several events can be named if you want a shortlist rather than all of them.

What permissions does it need?

private token (own org). Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run for each event the app sends.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
