Overview

Browser-based API calls cannot be used to transmit credit card data to Cvent Passkey, however the use of SOAP/Web Service API’s does support this capability.

Implementation

The following elements must be configurable within the third party system and included within generated URLs:

  • EventID: A unique ID which identifies a specific event in Cvent Passkey. For testing purposes, this guide includes a sample event ID of 151592. An example of an event would be the Cvent Passkey Housing Forum Conference.

  • eventCode: A unique ID which identifies an Attendee Type configured for a specific event in Cvent Passkey. This unique “sub-block” is often used to group sets of attendees, for example, General Attendee, VIP, Staff or Exhibitor. Cvent Passkey allows individual events to be configured with as many attendee types needed and separate booking rules and housing options can be assigned to each type. Another use of sub-blocks could be group attendees under separate groups, teams, companies, vendors, etc. These values normally match the registration setup. At this stage, the eventCode is required by the API, meaning the registration system must defined it and the system configuration must allow the value to be updated/changed based on the business needs of the customer.

  • ExtReferenceID: An attendee-specific identifier assigned by a registration system to the attendee’s registration record. For example, a “Registration ID”. This is used by Cvent Passkey to identify unique attendees and prevent duplicate records from occurring. An ExtReferenceID is required and can be supplied back to the third party system within a Callback message if this service is being utilized.

Example

The following examples simulate how RegExpress operations would be carried out in a web browser. For more information on the business functions for all supported URL parameters, see Field Mappings.
