Eventbrite integration
Breakroom makes it simple to sell or distribute tickets to your event through Eventbrite. Here's how to find the information you'll need to integrate your Breakroom and Eventbrite accounts.
With Eventbrite integration, you can sell or distribute tickets to a virtual event and trust the backend logistics to us. Breakroom will automatically create a user account for anyone who purchases a ticket, using their ticket number as the password. If an account already exists under a user's email address, Breakroom will reactivate that account and reset the password to the ticketholder's current ticket number.
An example event.
In order to integrate Breakroom and Eventbrite, you'll need to make sure that you have:
- A Team, Professional, or Enterprise level Breakroom subscription.
- An active Eventbrite account.
As a first step, log in to your Eventbrite account and create the event you plan to host in Breakroom. You can then follow the instructions outlined below to integrate your event with Breakroom's systems.
In order to integrate your event with Breakroom, you will need to locate the API key associated with your event and enter it into the Dashboard. Once you've created your event in Eventbrite, navigate over to your Eventbrite account settings page.

On the left side of your account settings page, you will see a drop-down menu called Developer Links. Expand it, and click on the tab that says API Keys. Then click on the button that says Create API Key.
The API Keys tab. The "Create API Key" button is highlighted.

When users purchase a virtual event ticket through Eventbrite, they will not receive a confirmation email from Breakroom. Therefore, we strongly encourage event organizers to use their Eventbrite event page, email, or other relevant tools to provide ticketholders with the information they will need to log in for the event.
Key points to communicate to ticketholders include:
- Breakroom will automatically create a user account for anyone who purchases a virtual event ticket through Eventbrite. Their login will be the e-mail they provided to Eventbrite, and their password will be their ticket number.
- If a Breakroom account already exists under a user's email address, Breakroom will reactivate that account and reset the password to the ticketholder's current ticket number.
- Users will need to download the custom Breakroom desktop app or sign in through World Stream. Links to download the app or access your dedicated World Stream can be found on the Your Apps tab on the Dashboard.
