SYSTOPIA's Remote Event Extension

Scope

This extension adds numerous features to CiviCRM's events. Specifically, it allows you to:

• Configure events in CiviCRM
• Display and use that information in other remote systems
• Submit registrations for those events back to CiviCRM

The main idea is that your organization's staff can handle all relevant event configurations in CiviCRM. CiviCRM then makes this information available via its REST API. The extension's API also includes logic and actions to receive and update registrations.

Any external system can interact with the API to display event calendars, detailed event information, registration forms, etc. This can be a remote system or the CMS your CiviCRM runs on. It can also submit information entered by your constituents back to CiviCRM.

To use these features, you must set up an external system to act as a frontend for your event listings, registration forms, etc. If you plan to build your system on Drupal 10, consider using the CiviRemote Drupal module which includes many pre-built features.

Note that this extension can be used alongside regular CiviCRM event registrations. You can choose for each event whether to use the remote features or not.

Why this Extension?

There are several scenarios where you might not want or be able to use CiviCRM's built-in forms, such as:

• Your CiviCRM runs within a VPN for security reasons
• The built-in forms and processing logic do not offer enough customization options
• You already have an external system for your constituents (e.g., a member area on your website or a collaboration platform) that cannot be easily connected to CiviCRM

Features

• Connect a remote system to CiviCRM to handle highly customizable event listings and registration features
• Pre-defined registration profiles, including a "one-click registration" for authenticated users
• Use different registration profiles within the same event
• Allow participants to modify or cancel their registrations
• Alternative approach for defining an event's location
• Event registration/update profiles configurable using a UI with the Remote Event Form Editor extension
• Manage sessions/workshops within your event
• Register additional participants
• Localize event registration profiles with a locale specified in the get_form request (e.g., the current language of the frontend)
