About Blackthorn Events
Event registration, check-in, and payments on native Salesforce objects.
If your event stack is a registration tool, a payment tool, and a nightly export into Salesforce, you are maintaining three integrations to produce one attendee record. Blackthorn runs it all on native objects instead. No middleware, no sync jobs, no exports.
What installs Custom objects for events, sessions, attendees, tickets, and payments, plus permission sets for admin and end user access. Install to a sandbox first, then production.
Automation and reporting Records behave like any other Salesforce data. Build flows, validation rules, approvals, and reports on them like any standard object.
Day of event Check-in runs from a mobile device and writes attendance back to the attendee record in real time.
Proven in production Purdue for Life grew registrations by 40% and tied over $500,000 in donations to events.
Requirements Requires Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Platform. Compatible with Nonprofit Cloud and Education Cloud. Blackthorn Payments and Blackthorn Messaging install separately against the same records.
SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA-eligible, PCI SAQ D, GDPR, WCAG, ADA, VPAT.
Highlights
- Is Blackthorn Events a managed package, and where does the data live? Yes. It creates custom objects for events, sessions, attendees, tickets, and payments inside your org. No external database, no middleware, no sync.
- Does installing it require a developer? No. Setup is configuration, not code. Permission sets for admin and end-user access ship with it, and it installs to a sandbox before production.
- Will it work with my existing automation? Yes. Its records behave like any other Salesforce data, so flows, validation rules, approvals, and reports build on them the same way they do on standard objects.
- Can it handle high registration volume? Yes. Colorado State University runs 50+ events and processes 6,000 registrations a year, with no manual reconciliation.
- Which Salesforce products are required? Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Platform. They are also compatible with Nonprofit Cloud and Education Cloud.
