You can automatically create new bookings in Event Temple using Zapier by combining an email parser with a Zap.
This is useful when inquiries come from:
Third-party forms
Website submissions
Email-based inquiry systems
How it works
The automation follows this flow:
Email → Email Parser → Zapier → Event Temple Booking
Step 1: Set up an Email Parser
You can use tools like:
These tools extract structured data from incoming emails.
You can define fields such as:
Guest name
Event date
Number of guests
Special requests
Email address
⚠️ Important: Make sure your parser tool is supported in Zapier.
Step 2: Create your Zap
In Zapier:
Trigger:
A new parsed email is received from your email parser.
Action:
Create a new booking in Event Temple.
Map parsed fields to Event Temple fields, such as:
Contact name → Contact field
Event date → Booking start date
Guest count → Custom or booking field
Email → Contact email
You can also:
Assign a booking owner
Select pipeline and stage
Set default booking values
Step 3: Set up email forwarding
Forward incoming inquiry emails from your email provider (e.g. Gmail or Outlook) to your parser mailbox.
Once set up:
Email → Parser → Zapier → Event Temple booking is created automatically.
Important notes
Email parser tools are third-party services
Setup steps vary depending on your email provider
Zapier access requires an admin role in Event Temple
For account-level enrichment, you may need additional Zap steps (e.g. “Find Account”)
