How do I add an RSVP button to a Salesforce Marketing Cloud email?
Adding an RSVP button to a Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) email lets recipients register for your event from your campaign send. Copy the RSVP link from AddEvent and insert it in your SFMC email template.
Step-by-step
- In your AddEvent dashboard, create your RSVP event and go to Sharing
- Copy the RSVP link
- In SFMC Content Builder, open your email template
- Add a Button block or styled
<a href>anchor tag with the AddEvent RSVP URL as the destination - Set the button label to "RSVP Now" or "Register"
- Test with SFMC's preview and send a test to confirm the link works
Personalizing the RSVP experience with AMPscript
If you want to pre-fill attendee information or pass subscriber data to the RSVP page, include it as URL parameters: ` %%=RedirectTo(CONCAT('https://www.addevent.com/event/YOUR-EVENT-ID?email=',emailaddr))=%% ` This passes the subscriber's email address to the RSVP page, reducing the fields they need to fill in.
Journey Builder
In a Journey Builder path, add an Email activity with the RSVP link in the first touchpoint. Add a wait step followed by a decision split based on whether the contact has registered (via a data extension updated by Zapier or the AddEvent API).
Syncing registrations back to Salesforce
Use the AddEvent API or Zapier integration to push new RSVP registrations into a Salesforce data extension or Sales Cloud contact record, triggering downstream automations in your Salesforce instance.
