Registration forms get long fast, because every ticket type has its own follow-up questions. Branching is what keeps them short: a day-pass attendee never sees the accommodation questions, and a speaker sees a section nobody else does.

When to use a event registration form

  • Conferences, meetups, and workshops
  • Webinars and online sessions where you need an attendee list
  • Training days with limited seats per track
  • Company offsites and internal events
  • Anything where catering or a venue needs numbers in advance
Example questions

What to put on the form.

A starting point, not a rulebook: every question below is a real Questionful question type, and all of them are editable once the form is in your account.

Question Question type
Full name Short answer
Email address Turn on the emailed copy so it doubles as a confirmation Short answer
Company and job title Short answer
Which ticket type do you need? The branching question Multiple choice
Which sessions will you attend? Checkboxes
Which day are you joining? Dropdown
Dietary requirements With an "other" option for the long tail Checkboxes
Do you need accessibility support? Paragraph
How did you hear about the event? Dropdown
How Questionful helps

Building it, step by step.

01

Branch by ticket type

Ask the ticket or attendance type as a multiple choice question and route each option to its own section. Speakers, sponsors, and general attendees get three different forms behind one link.

02

Confirm by email automatically

Turn on "email a copy to the respondent" and write the confirmation message on the form. The registrant leaves with a record of what they signed up for.

03

Let people fix their answers

Enable editing after submit and link the registration to a follow-up form, so a change of session choice does not become an inbox thread.

04

Get the list out

Export the registration list to CSV for the venue, and push each new signup to Zapier or Make so it also lands in your CRM or a spreadsheet.

Tips

What makes the difference.

  • Ask for a phone number only if you will actually use it on the day.
  • Put the date, venue, and cancellation policy in the form intro, not just the invite email.
  • Use checkboxes for session picks so you get a per-session headcount straight out of the summary.
  • Add a progress bar. Registration forms feel longer than they are.
  • Close the form when you hit capacity rather than turning people away by email afterwards.
FAQ

Event Registration Form questions.

Do registrants get a confirmation email?

Yes, if you enable the emailed copy on the form. The respondent receives their answers along with the confirmation message you have written, so the form itself is the receipt.

Can I collect payment on the registration form?

Not today. Questionful does not take payments. The usual pattern is to register for free and send a payment link from your invoicing or ticketing tool, triggered by the webhook the form fires.

Can attendees change their answers later?

Yes. Turn on "allow editing after submit" and the confirmation link lets them go back and change a session choice or a dietary note.

Can I cap the number of registrations?

There is no automatic quota yet. You close the form manually when you reach capacity. The usual approach is to watch the response count and close it a little early.
