No show status sync to integrations

Getting accurate ‘No Show’ data is an important part of post-event ops and contributes to a more effective CRM system. You can re-engage absentees for future events and make informed choices based on attendance trends, ultimately improving the success and impact of future events.

The No Show status now syncs to HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Pardot, and Webhooks. The sync to these systems is highly beneficial for event organizers and marketing ops teams to make data-driven decisions for future events.
