Using custom registration fields helps you better understand your audience, making it easier to tailor your content and engagement strategies.
How to Add Custom Registration Fields
✔ Available when creating or editing your event.
✔ Ask attendees specific questions and collect customized data.
✔ Set fields as optional or required for registration.
Types of Custom Fields You Can Add
Short Text Field – Ideal for brief responses like names, job titles, or quick answers.
Multiple Choice – Allows attendees to select one or multiple options from a predefined list.
URL - Enables attendees to enter a website of choice.
Checkboxes – Enables attendees to select multiple options from a list. Useful for GDPR compliance, email subscriptions, or other agreements.
Date Picker – Allows attendees to manually enter the date.
# Number - Allows you to ask a question, and then attendees to enter a number. You can also set a min or max range.
Phone - Allows attendees to enter their phone number.
Accessing Attendee Data
After your event, you can export attendee responses by selecting Download CSV from the Options dropdown on the event page.
💡 Pro Tip: To stay GDPR compliant, add a consent checkbox to ask attendees if they’d like to join your mailing list.
Important Notes
Default Fields: Crowdcast automatically collects an attendee’s name and email, so you don’t need to create custom fields for this information.
Required Fields: Attendees must complete required fields before registering.
Custom Registration Form Must Be Completed by Attendee to Register: If your event includes custom registration fields, attendees must complete the form in order to be successfully registered for your event. Until all required fields are filled out, and the green 'Confirm & Join' button is clicked, a confirmation email will not be sent, and the attendee will not appear in the event's CSV registration export.
When you register attendees manually (via API, import, or dashboard), custom registration fields are skipped—even if they're required. These attendees won’t have data for those fields.
