Sympla Event Workflow Automation & Approvals
Run Sympla on autopilot. Keep the veto.
1 action
Workflows that pull your Sympla event catalog run through Rills, which queues the results for a human to review before anything moves forward.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential scheduling action from Sympla arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue (3)
Send 23 attendee follow-ups for the May 17 event?
23 attendees registered in the last 3 days
Same follow-up sequence as the April event
No replies to the last reminder
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Clear runs stop waiting on you.
Every run is scored against your review step. The ones that clearly match your judgment run above your threshold without a tap; the borderline ones still come to the queue. Autonomy is earned run by run, never switched on for good.
About Sympla automation
Sympla events pile up, and the actions you should take on them sit in a queue you check too late. A follow-up email that goes out to the wrong attendee list, an event schedule change that posts before you've confirmed the venue. The ones AI gets wrong show up in attendee complaints.
When Sympla runs unsupervised
Even a simple event list can trigger a cascade of mistakes when no one is watching. The things that ship unsupervised are the ones that sour your attendees.
- Listing events and blindly sending follow-ups to all attendees without checking the registration date.
- Posting schedule changes to an event that hasn't been confirmed by the venue.
- Firing off attendee notifications for a canceled event because the tool didn't know it was canceled.
- Syncing attendee data to a CRM before the attendee opted in, creating a support ticket cleanup.
- Sending a survey link to attendees of a past event when the event already got poor feedback.
What Rills does inside Sympla
Rills' Sympla automation lists your events, evaluates the context, and proposes the actions you need to take. It surfaces the right follow-up for the right event, the right schedule update, and waits for you to approve before anything ships.
The action still happens; you just see it first.
Why Sympla has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Sympla doesn't send events when something changes, so you're left polling or reacting manually. Rills fills the gap by checking your event list on a schedule and proposing actions based on what it finds.
- Polling your event list for new events and proposing a welcome email sequence to new attendees.
- Scheduled checks for upcoming events that need a final attendee count sent to your email tool.
- Upstream triggers from your calendar or ticket sales platform that Rills matches to Sympla events to propose follow-ups.
- Recurring audits of past events to identify follow-up surveys or re-engagement campaigns.

Common questions about Sympla automation
How do I automate pulling event data from Sympla without losing control?
Rills lists your Sympla events on demand. Before that data touches another tool or a report, Rills queues the result for your approval. You review the list from your phone, swipe to approve, and only then does it move forward. No more accidentally sharing incomplete event data with your team.
Can I get mobile approvals before Sympla event lists are sent to my team?
Yes. When a workflow lists your Sympla events, the output stays on hold until you approve it. You'll get a notification; review the event list on your phone and swipe to confirm. Only then does it go out. It's the safety net you wish you'd had last time a wrong date slipped through.
How do I automate Sympla event reporting with a human in the loop?
Set up Rills to list your Sympla events, then pause before the data is used. You check the list from your phone, catch any missing or duplicate events, and approve. Only after your swipe does the report reach your spreadsheet or email. No more waking up to an auto-generated report full of mistakes.
Can I set up a nightly Sympla event summary that I approve before it sends?
You can schedule Rills to list your Sympla events each evening. The summary sits in your approval queue until you review it. Swipe to approve from your phone, and only then does it email your team or update your dashboard. Finally, a nightly summary you can trust before it ships.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Sympla?
Zapier fires automations instantly with no human check. Rills always proposes the action first, then waits for your approval. For Sympla, that means you can list events and decide what to do with them, instead of having data rush off to a spreadsheet or notification before you've seen it. You keep the veto.
Why use Rills instead of Make for Sympla event management?
Make lets you build complex automations that run unattended. Rills adds a mandatory approval step before anything customer-visible ships. With Sympla, you can pull event lists and stop them from being sent to your team or clients until you've confirmed they're correct. Approvals and logic are free, too.
Does Rills support Sympla webhooks?
Sympla webhooks aren't currently available as triggers in Rills, but you can manually trigger workflows to list your events whenever you need. Rills will still queue the results for your approval before any action is taken. You always see exactly what's about to happen before it does.
How much does Rills cost for Sympla automation?
Approvals and workflow logic are free. You only pay when Rills performs a real action, like listing your Sympla events. Each API call costs a small amount, and you can see the cost before you approve. No monthly subscription needed to keep your approvals running.
