Automated Cvent Session Capacity Alerts

Every morning in the run-up to your event, WebRun opens Cvent, reads the registration count and capacity for each session, works out which are close to full and which are badly under-booked, opens a Trello card for each one that needs a decision, and texts the event lead about anything that hit capacity overnight.

In short

How do I track Cvent session registration numbers every day?

WebRun opens Cvent every morning before your event and reads the registration count, capacity, and daily pace for each session. It cards near-full and under-booked sessions in Trello for the team to action, and texts the event lead through Twilio the moment a session reaches capacity.

  • Sold-out sessions reach the event lead the same morning
  • Under-booked sessions get promoted while there is still time
  • Every capacity decision lands on a Trello card with an owner

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens www.cvent.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it text or email attendees?

No. Twilio texts go to your own event lead only. Any message aimed at an attendee is queued for a human to approve, and WebRun never sends registration mail from Cvent on its own.

Can it change session capacity in Cvent?

No. WebRun reads registration and capacity figures and reports them. Raising a cap, opening a second run, or closing a session stays a human decision made in Cvent by your team.

What counts as under-booked?

Whatever minimum you set per session or per event. WebRun flags anything below that number, shows the daily pace, and cards it in Trello so you can promote or merge it while there is still time.

Put this on autopilot.
