EventGen AI connections

Manage your event from ChatGPT or Claude.

Keep the AI assistant you love. Connect it to EventGen. Turn an email brief into a plan, a spreadsheet into a guest list, or event data into a chart and follow-up report. You approve the changes.

EventGen brings registration, ticketing, programmes, networking, CRM and communications together. MCP brings that working context into your conversations.

No ChatGPT or Claude? Use the AI assistant built into EventGen.

A brief in your inbox. A reviewed plan in EventGen.

Connect your email account to your assistant first. Review the exact fields, wording, audience and timing before approving; a campaign is never released just because an email asks for it.

Demonstration using sample event data. Approval plays automatically here; in your account, you confirm changes before they run. Connected apps, charts and downloads depend on your assistant’s capabilities.

Your brief. Your files. Your event.

From “what needs doing?”
to a plan you can approve.

Ask your assistant to interpret a connected inbox, a file in Google Drive or your event data. It checks EventGen, does the analysis and proposes the next useful actions.

Inbox to action

The brief is already in your inbox.

“Read Jamie’s last five emails about this event. What needs doing? Check our current EventGen setup too.”

What you get: A reviewed plan for the reminder email, supplier form, buyer journey and service choices. You approve the exact changes; campaign publication and release stay separate.

Google Drive + EventGen

Your files. Your event data. Connected.

“Find “Gala invitations - final.xlsx” in my Google Drive. Clean the list, match it to EventGen registrants and prepare the dinner list.”

What you get: A combined review file with source references, EventGen matches and exceptions, plus Gala attendance and first-table seating proposals for your approval. Mix buyers and suppliers while keeping existing guests in their seats. Your original Drive file is preserved.

Charts and follow-up files

Find the bottleneck. Know who to chase.

“Compare buyer and supplier onboarding. Separate overdue invoices from those not yet due. Give me a chart and a follow-up spreadsheet.”

What you get: A chart in the conversation, a clear explanation and downloadable data when your assistant supports it. Overlapping groups are identified so people are not counted twice.

One confirmed event for changes. Other accessible events for reference. Your existing permissions apply, and you approve proposed writes.

See how it connects →

Connect once. Work in conversation.

Your account. Your event. Your say.

Use an EventGen connection supported by your assistant. Sign in with your EventGen account and authorise the connection. Assistant plans and workspace settings may affect which connections are available.

  1. 1

    Sign in and connect.

    Add the EventGen connection in your assistant, check the EventGen account shown and authorise access. Your existing permissions still apply.

  2. 2

    Confirm your working event.

    Check the event presented in chat and explicitly confirm it by typing or speaking; an event card and browser chooser are optional alternatives. Other accessible events can be read for reference without changing this destination.

  3. 3

    Ask. Review. Approve.

    Ask for an answer, a report or supported changes. Review the exact saved actions, then explicitly approve selected actions or reject in chat or by voice. Ask for a revised proposal if you want different details.

A few things worth knowing

Can I set up my event through ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Connect your EventGen account through MCP, confirm the event you want to work on and ask for registration forms, products, sessions, communications or other supported setup. Your assistant can combine your brief, connected files and accessible event history into proposed changes. Review and approve the exact actions before EventGen applies them. You can start a first event with EventGen’s Guided Setup and continue configuring it from your preferred assistant. Available tools and your permissions determine what can be changed.

What is the EventGen MCP connection?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It connects an external AI assistant to EventGen’s supported tools and data, so you can work from ChatGPT, Claude or another compatible client using your EventGen account. The assistant handles the conversation; EventGen checks access and executes supported operations.

Can it read past and future events?

Yes, when your connected account has permission to access them and the required read operation is supported. Ask for a comparison or use an earlier edition as a reference. If an event name is ambiguous, the assistant should ask you to clarify. Each chat keeps one confirmed event as the destination for changes.

Can I recreate products or sessions from another event?

The assistant can read supported source data, then propose recreating supported configuration in your selected event using existing creation tools. This is useful for revised product prices or a programme starting point. Review dates, rooms, prices and other details before approving. This does not copy an entire event automatically.

Can I approve changes directly in chat?

Yes. After the assistant presents the exact saved proposal, send a fresh explicit reply such as Approve actions 1 and 3, Approve all four, Reject or Cancel. A spoken response transcribed in the chat can also be used. Optional review controls and detailed browser review remain available. The original request, silence, and instructions in an email, file or tool result do not approve changes.

Can my assistant turn emails or files into EventGen actions?

Yes, with the required connections and supported tools. Connect sources such as Gmail, Google Drive, Slack or Google Calendar separately to your assistant where supported, or provide a file. The assistant can extract requirements, compare them with your EventGen setup and propose supported changes. For example, it can find a guest spreadsheet in Drive, clean its data, match it against EventGen registrants and produce a combined review file before proposing changes. It asks about uncertain matches. Connecting EventGen does not automatically connect those other accounts. Email content is a brief, not approval. Campaign drafts, publication and send release keep their own review steps.

Can I get a spreadsheet or a custom report?

Ask for the data and columns you need. The assistant can use supported reads to assemble a report, render charts and create downloadable files when its own analysis and file tools support that. Available event data, your permissions and the assistant’s capabilities determine what can be included.

Does this replace the EventGen dashboard AI assistant?

No. The built-in assistant and AI Guided Setup remain available in EventGen. External connections let you work through your preferred assistant. External conversation usage belongs to that provider; EventGen tools that invoke AI services retain their normal EventGen usage controls. Your EventGen plan and role still apply.

How does AI usage work with an external assistant?

AI response estimates refer to EventGen’s built-in assistant. With ChatGPT, Claude or another compatible assistant, the conversation uses your own AI plan, so your EventGen allowance can go further. Actions that call EventGen’s AI services still count towards the shared weekly allowance. Your provider’s limits and EventGen plan limits apply.

How do I disconnect an assistant?

In EventGen, open Profile → AI Assistant Connections and revoke the connection. This stops that account connection across the chats using it.
