Overview

What the 10xEvents Zapier integration actually does

It links your 10xEvents account to Zapier so that something happening in 10xEvents (a new event, a new order) can start a chain of steps on its own, and so that other tools can create events and tickets in 10xEvents without anyone typing them in. You set it up once, then it runs.

Three results people usually build first. An order log that fills itself: New Ticket fires on every fresh order, and the next step writes it wherever your team tracks sales. Tickets issued from somewhere else: Create Ticket, Create Partner Ticket and Create Bundle Ticket let an outside form or checkout drop the attendee straight into 10xEvents, with or without the confirmation email. Events published from your planning tool: Create Event opens the event in 10xEvents once the details are settled elsewhere.

Now the honest part. Zapier offers no search step for 10xEvents, so a Zap can't look up an existing event, ticket or contact before acting. There's also no update and no delete: every action creates something new. If a Zap fires twice, you get two tickets, and nothing in Zapier cleans that up for you.

On the bright side, every trigger here is instant. That matters more than it sounds: on most apps, the free plan makes you wait between checks, and here you don't wait at all.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation you build: one starting event, then one or more steps that run every single time that event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it and reacts when it shows up.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or creates something in an app on your behalf.
Task
The unit Zapier bills you for: one action that completes successfully. Your plan's allowance is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items and keeping only the ones it has not seen yet.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier the moment the event happens. Every 10xEvents trigger works this way.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived matches a condition you set, and quietly stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your 10xEvents account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that talks to 10xEvents in any of your Zaps.
Cost

What it really costs

10xEvents is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The bill counts actions, never triggers.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
  • Free plan Zaps2 steps: one trigger, one action
  • Premium appNo, 10xEvents works on the free plan
  • Triggers4 instant, so no check interval applies

The trigger costs nothing, and neither does the waiting. Each action that goes through is one task; one that fails costs nothing. A Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap uses. The catch: the free plan only builds two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action. Add a filter or a second action and you have a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. On a free account, keep it to one 10xEvents trigger and one action.

Connect

Connect your 10xEvents account in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. You need a 10xEvents account first, plus access to any event you don't own but want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Find 10xEvents

    Type 10xEvents in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the list, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the 10xEvents side for the sign-in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Log into 10xEvents in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection now shows up on the Apps page, ready for every Zap that uses 10xEvents.

First Zap

Your first 10xEvents Zap

GoalEach new 10xEvents order that passes your condition becomes a partner ticket, without retyping the attendee.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose 10xEvents as the starting app and New Ticket as the event. Select the connection you added earlier.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent orders of the account, so you map the next steps on a real one rather than on placeholders.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon, pick Filter, then set the field to look at, the rule and the value. Pick a text rule for text and a number rule for numbers. This step makes the Zap multi-step, so a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Add the action

    Add 10xEvents again with Create Partner Ticket. Map first name, last name and email from the trigger, then fill the partner Event Id, Ticket Type Id and quantity.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test the action once and read what came back in 10xEvents. When it looks right, click Publish to switch the Zap on and let the next order run it.

Triggers

10xEvents triggers

4 events start a Zap when something happens in 10xEvents, and 4 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Bundle Ticket

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there is a newly created bundle order from 10xEvents.”

Starts your Zap whenever a new bundle order is created in 10xEvents. The Zap receives the order as soon as it exists, so the steps after it can pass it on to your accounting sheet, your CRM or your team chat.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
you sell bundles and want each one flagged to whoever handles package buyers, separately from single tickets.
Watch out
plain orders and partner orders have their own triggers, so this one stays silent on them.
2

New Event

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there is a newly created event from 10xEvents.”

Reacts to the creation of an event in your 10xEvents account, before a single ticket is sold. It's the natural starting point for anything that has to happen once per event: opening a project, warning the venue team, preparing a promo checklist somewhere else.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
your marketing lead wants a task created in their planning tool the moment an organizer adds an event.
Watch out
a Zap with Create Event as its action and this trigger at the start would feed itself in a loop.
3

New Partner Ticket

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there is a newly created partner order from 10xEvents.”

Fires on each new partner order created in 10xEvents, and on nothing else. Having its own trigger lets you route partner sales to the people who reconcile them, without sorting every order by hand afterwards.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a reseller earns on each sale and your finance contact needs a line per partner order to settle up.
Watch out
nothing that was ordered before the Zap went live will come through.
4

New Ticket

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there is a newly created order from 10xEvents.”

The everyday one: it goes off on each standard ticket order placed in 10xEvents. Most order-driven Zaps start here, whether the next step logs the sale, welcomes the attendee in your email tool or updates a headcount your caterer can read.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
you want every regular order mirrored into the spreadsheet your box office checks at the door.
Watch out
bundle and partner orders don't pass through here; add their own triggers in separate Zaps if they matter to you.
Actions

10xEvents actions

10xEvents gives you 4 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Event

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new event in your 10xEvents account.”

Opens a brand new event in your 10xEvents account from details that live somewhere else. It asks for a fair amount up front: name, venue, timezone, attendance type (in person, virtual or hybrid), seat selection and ticket options.

When to use it
events are approved in a planning board and you're tired of copying them over.
Watch out
leave Ignore Event Dates off and you must supply start and end dates too.
2

Create Bundle Ticket

Action

In Zapier“This action retrieves bundle order data from the trigger and uses it to save bundle orders in our 10xEvents system.”

Records a bundle order in 10xEvents for one named contact, in the quantity you set. One catch. The bundle must already exist in 10xEvents, because the step only recognises it by the Bundle Id that 10xEvents generated for it.

When to use it
bundles are paid on an outside checkout, yet the buyer still has to appear in 10xEvents.
Watch out
Send Email is required; set it to True only if the contact should get the 10xEvents notification.
3

Create Partner Ticket

Action

In Zapier“This action retrieves partner order data from the trigger and uses it to save partner orders in our 10xEvents system.”

Issues tickets on a partner event for one contact: first name, last name, email, the ticket type and how many. The partner Event Id has to come from 10xEvents, and so does the Ticket Type Id that belongs to it.

When to use it
a partner collects registrations in their own form and you want them landing as real tickets.
Watch out
a Ticket Type Id from another event will not match, so copy both IDs from the same event.
4

Create Ticket

Action

In Zapier“This action retrieves order data from the trigger and uses it to save orders in our 10xEvents system.”

Puts a standard order into 10xEvents: one attendee, one ticket type, the quantity you choose, and an optional email to the contact. Like its partner cousin, it needs an Event Id and a Ticket Type Id taken from 10xEvents.

When to use it
sales happen in your shop or at a desk and the attendee list must stay in 10xEvents.
Watch out
there is no lookup before it runs, so a repeated trigger creates a duplicate order.
When it breaks

When a 10xEvents Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to 10xEvents, so the traps below are the general ones. They are general, not harmless.

None of them is exotic. Most come down to what the Zap sees, and when it starts looking. If a Zap still misbehaves after these checks, our Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the usual suspects.

  • Old orders never show up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Events and orders created before that stay where they are; moving the backlog is a separate job.
  • The Zap keeps setting itself off

    If the action writes into the very place the trigger watches, say Create Event under New Event, each run starts the next one and the task count drains fast.
  • A bulk import gets held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of running everything at once.
  • Duplicate tickets after a retry

    The actions only create, they never look first. If the same order reaches the step twice, 10xEvents simply records a second one for the same attendee.

FAQ

10xEvents Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the 10xEvents Zapier integration free?
Yes, as long as your Zap stays at two steps. 10xEvents is not a premium app, so the free plan can use it with no trial. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap is limited to one trigger and one action. The moment you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and Zapier asks for a paid plan. No price is quoted here on purpose: plan grids change too often to publish.
02How many tasks does a 10xEvents Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, and nothing else. The trigger is free, however many orders come through, and an action that fails is not counted. So a Zap that turns each new order into a partner ticket uses one task per order. If the same Zap also posted a message somewhere, that order would cost two. Watch the loop case: a Zap that creates events under a New Event trigger keeps billing itself until you switch it off.
03Does 10xEvents send data to Zapier in real time?
Yes, all four triggers are instant. 10xEvents calls Zapier as soon as an event or an order is created, so the Zap starts straight away. The check interval of your plan, which would be 15 minutes on the free plan for a polling trigger, simply does not apply here. In the editor you'll spot these Zaps by the lightning bolt shown next to them. That makes 10xEvents one of the friendlier apps to test on a free account.
04What does it take to connect 10xEvents to Zapier?
A 10xEvents account, and access to anything you don't own that the Zap should touch. The connection itself is done from the Apps page of Zapier, with the Add connection button, then a sign-in on the 10xEvents side and an access grant. For the ticket actions, prepare one more thing: the events and ticket types must already exist in 10xEvents, because the steps ask for their IDs and won't work with anything else.
05Why does Create Ticket ask for IDs it can't find?
Because it expects an Event Id and a Ticket Type Id generated inside 10xEvents, not names. The ticket type must also belong to the event you point at. If either value is missing or comes from another event, the action has nothing valid to attach the order to. Set up the event and its ticket types in 10xEvents first, then copy those IDs into the step. The same logic applies to Create Partner Ticket, with the Event Id of a partner event.
06What if the 10xEvents operation you need isn't in the list?
Then it isn't available through Zapier today. The integration offers 4 triggers and 4 actions, with no search, no update and no delete. Editing an existing ticket or finding a contact before acting will have to happen in 10xEvents itself or through another route. Before building a workaround, check the action list in the editor again: what Zapier shows there is the complete set for this app, and nothing hidden can be unlocked.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for 10xEvents?
It depends on your criteria rather than on a ranking. Zapier gives you instant triggers on 10xEvents and a free plan that covers simple two-step Zaps, which suits a team that wants something running quickly without technical help. If you need branching logic on every order or very high volumes, compare how each tool bills and how much setup it asks of you. Judge on your own volumes, budget and who will maintain the Zaps.
