We require more info from someone joining one of our events, and now use Google forms to collect it...just indicating that you're going on the event isn't enough.  We'd like to use the event signup more, but this means folks have to join in two places.

Could event signup collect more info or link to an external form?

Thinking more on this...what if there were a Zapier trigger for someone joins an event?  We could then create a row on a Google sheet with fields from the member file.  One sheet per event.

So ideally we could have data drawn in from the member record to populate a list of those joining an event.  I don't have hope that this will happen, though I can dream.

Something that would be easily done would be to enable an option for a link to a page (external or internal) where you'd be taken upon joining an event.   That page could be a signup form, a waiver, or additional info about the event.

Any hope for this?  Any expansion of Zapier capabilities in v5?

There is hope of expansion to zapier capabilitys throughout the life of version 5, however the initial launch is now feature locked while we concentrate on the current bugs and getting the final release out. That said, Im a little lost as to what it is you cant already get. If you get information triggered to say someone has joined an event, and you want more information on that event, or that member, you would then use the API to query for the information you need

Neither Zapier nor Make lists "member joins event" as a trigger.

Ah, sorry. My misunderstanding. As you had asked for more details to be added, I assumed it was one you were already using

It's on our todo list. In the meanwhile you could use Zapier Webhooks in combination with IPS4 Webhooks and fire a request to Zapier  when calendarEvent_rsvp was triggered.

I'll take that as a win.  Take your time, get v5 solid.
