What is a Postback?

Postbacks are a one-time communication of data sent when a specific trigger, or set of triggers are met. This is often used to share one-time data with a third-party vendor or platform.

Postbacks are incredibly powerful in cases where you want to share one-time data that doesn’t need to be updated if information is later changed by the participant (or can’t be updated by the participant).

How your event can utilize Postbacks:

We’re sure you’re already thinking of the ways this can help automate your current processes, but we’re sharing a few ways we’ve seen events utilize this incredible tool:

Add value to your sponsors

What information would be helpful for your sponsors to know? Asking your participants a question related to your sponsors, or creating the opportunity for participants to opt-in and be contacted to learn more can add marketing value to your sponsorship partners!

Please note: We recommend working with a legal consultant when collecting and sharing information to ensure compliance with privacy laws.

Automatically add participants to a mailing list

Create a question to add participants to your marketing mailing list and have participants added as they opt-in! [Insert associated design as noted in above comments]

Send orders to vendors

As participants select specific products, automatically send those details to the appropriate vendors!

Race Roster

At our core, we are event organizers and athletes serving event organizers and athletes. Race Roster was founded by a group of friends with combined interests in running, technology, and event management. After organizing their own 10K in 2010, it was very apparent that the running industry was in dire need of better technology. Since May of 2012, Race Roster has partnered with over 4,000 organizers to grow, manage and execute on race day!
