Cap Registrations for Events

There are many events in which having an unlimited amount of attendees could be a huge logistical problem. I'd love a way to cap the amount of attendees and automatically switch the landing page to a closed registration when registrations have hit its cap. Basically - "If list count = X, then show X landing page"

This was also discussed in this thead:

    Yeah, another situation where I'm in deep doo-doo. I told my colleagues I could easily set up a registration limit because of course you can, literally every single registration service I've used, and I've used a lot, has one. Our spaces have four walls that do not move. This is a no-brainer. Very distressed that this doesn't exist.

    DONE. Event Caps is entering beta week after Adobe Summit/ Marketing Nation (i.e., after I return to the office). If you're interested in participating in this closed beta, please contact your CSM. Thanks. (For some reason, I don't have the permission to change this idea's stage/status, so I'll ask a colleague to do it.)

      This can be done right now using the Marketo API (saves you from subscribing to a third party service). Bit of a hassle to set up though, so I agree having something built in would save everyone's time. Happy to share current php solution via pm.

      But Jay, any attempt to use only the API for this is going to introduce a significant DoS vulnerability (possibly multiple vulns). How do you mitigate those attack vectors?

      Mainly by .htaccess

      Order deny,allow

      Deny from all

      Allow from <IP address of your Marketo>

      We used Marketo web hooks to CAP Event (and non event) registrations on Marketo landing pages.

      See if that helps...

        We did this as well. We used a webhook to log each entry and update some tokens which controlled the visibility of the form using CSS when the capacity was met. (Another value stored in a program token.)

        Just to update on what has happened with our event based activity. We've gone down the path with cVent to manage out events. Interestingly, as far as I understand, Marketo now owns cVent, so we may all see some serious investment and changes with event management (which includes that capping of events/sessions within the product). Hoping to work some of the processes and intricacies out with a couple of smaller events through this year.

        It will take time but I'm keen to see what Marketo do with cVent and how it may get built into the core functionality.

        Excited to hear this. We built something custom that works okay, but I'd like to see better built-in functionality in Marketo.

        Marketo Services is offering an add-on that will allow you to cap the number of event registrations. Also, it can show an 'event closed' page at a specified date. While it's obviously not a built-in solution, it provides an option for those who urgently need this. If interested, email services@marketo.com

        Does it work on non-Marketo LPs?

        This would be a great addition, reducing what we do manually currently much easier. For now we've been looking into other event management software to handle these events - although we haven't quite gotten there with it yet and are still watching manually and altering as needed.
