How to Create an Event Registration Form with Typerson

Whether you're running a workshop, a meetup, a webinar, or a company event, you need a registration form. Here's how to build one in Typerson that looks clean, collects the right info, and makes it easy to manage attendees.

What to Ask

Keep registration forms tight. For most events, you need: name, email, and maybe one or two event-specific questions. If it's a paid event, you might need contact details for invoicing. If it's a workshop, you might ask about skill level. The key is to only ask what you'll actually use.

1. 1Full name (required)
2. 2Email address (required)
3. 3Phone number (optional, only if you need to text updates)
4. 4"How did you hear about this event?" (helps with marketing)
5. 5Any dietary restrictions or accessibility needs (for in-person events)
6. 6"Which session are you most interested in?" (if there are multiple tracks)

Setting Up the Form

Create a new form in Typerson and add your questions. Use the email question type for the email field so it validates automatically. Use multiple choice or dropdown for questions with fixed options. Add a description at the start with the event date, time, location, and any important details people need before they register.

Using Conditional Logic for Multi-Track Events

If your event has multiple sessions or tracks, ask people which one they want to attend and use conditional logic to show track-specific questions. For example, if someone picks the "Advanced" workshop, you might ask about their current skill level. If they pick the "Beginner" session, you might ask what they're hoping to learn.

Syncing to Google Sheets

Connect your registration form to a Google Sheet so every registration appears automatically. This gives you a live attendee list you can share with your team, venue, or caterer. Add columns for check-in status on event day and you have a simple attendance tracker.

Sharing the Registration Link

Once your form is ready, grab the share link and put it everywhere: your event page, email invitations, social media posts, calendar invites. If you have an event website, embed the form directly on the registration page with an iframe or the script embed.
