Open registration
Set dates, ticket options, forms and sponsor opportunities. Give guests a clear registration and payment path.
Prepare the room
Review guests, table hosts, sponsor commitments and volunteer assignments before event day. Keep changes attached to the event and person.
Welcome every guest
Check people in and record attendance against the registration. Coordinate the event-day work without losing the relationship context.
Follow through
Connect attendance, gifts and sponsor participation to the record. Assign relevant next steps and review event performance.
Explore the steps with sample records, then see your team’s workflow in a live demo.
One attendee record
Registrants, guests, donors, table hosts, sponsors, and volunteers connect to the same people and organization records used by your development team.
A usable event day
Track registration status, payments, assignments, check-in, seating, and event activity without handing staff a stack of disconnected exports.
Follow-up with context
Attendance, gifts, sponsor participation, notes, and next steps stay on the relationship so stewardship can start while the event is still fresh.
From registration to stewardship
Event operations and development work share the same record, permissions, and reporting context.
Step 1
Publish registration and giving paths
Set event details, ticket or participation options, sponsor opportunities, forms, and payment paths for the audience you are inviting.
Step 2
Manage attendees and sponsors
Track registrations, guests, table relationships, payments, assignments, communication, and exceptions as plans change.
Step 3
Run check-in and event activity
Give staff a current attendee list and record attendance or other event activity against the correct relationship.
Step 4
Report and follow up
Review revenue, attendance, sponsor activity, outstanding work, and relationship history before assigning acknowledgements and next steps.
Product record
Follow one attendee from registration through follow-up.
The event workspace keeps the operational record and its donor context connected. These are the fields staff can verify in a working account.
- Registration
Purchaser, attendees, ticket type, answers, and payment state
The order identifies who registered, who is attending, what was purchased, and whether payment is complete or needs attention.
- Event day
Seat or table assignment and check-in activity
Staff can search the attendee list, assign seating, and record individual, group, walk-in, or scanned check-ins.
- Stewardship
Donor record, sponsor activity, gifts, notes, and next task
The relationship record carries the event context forward so follow-up does not depend on a separate attendee spreadsheet.
Ask to see a registration created, checked in, included in the attendee export, and opened from the related donor record during the demo.
What to confirm for your event program
- Ticketing, sponsorship, auction, seating, and payment requirements should be mapped before implementation.
- Your payment processor and accounting workflow affect reconciliation and settlement scope.
- Complex event portfolios may require Growth or Scale for broader reporting, automation, approvals, and integrations.
- Live Gratona webinars and product walkthroughs are listed separately on the webinars page.

Getting started
Start with one complete workflow.
Use one real event as the starting point. Map ticket options, payment handling, sponsors and check-in roles, then test registration through the post-event report.
What should we bring to a demo?
Bring the people who own this workflow, an example of how it runs today and the decision you need to make. Walk through open registration, prepare the room, welcome every guest, follow through with your team.
How does Tali fit into the work?
Summarize attendance and outstanding preparation tasks. Your team keeps responsibility for the review and the next action. Tali works with the context and permissions behind the workflow.
Can we connect this to the rest of Gratona?
Yes. Gratona Events connects to the shared relationships, information and work in Gratona. Start with the workflow your team needs and use the same platform as more teams participate.
