Using Event Automator for Small Businesses and Nonprofits

Being a small business or nonprofit organization can be tough. Every cost seems to add up. The good news is that with Event Automator, you can connect to all of the third-party tools you know and love. All it takes is a free Zapier account or a connection to Microsoft Power Automate. Once you have Event Automator, you won’t have to incur any hidden fees or licenses.

Zapier does offer the option to upgrade to a premium account, but we’ll show you how to make the most of your free Zapier account so that you won’t have to pay for an additional license. If you’re already familiar with the Microsoft suite of products, Microsoft Power Automate might be for you instead!

Let’s take a look at how to make the most of Event Automator for small businesses and nonprofits.

Event Automator for small businesses and nonprofits

If you already have Event Automator, you know that you can automate many of the processes that you do daily. For example, every time you create an event on your WordPress site with The Events Calendar, a Google spreadsheet adds a row with the event information. And you can do this without paying any additional fees for Zapier or Microsoft Power Automate.

With a free Zapier account, you can perform tasks like this up to 50 times a month, so it depends on your monthly usage. If you upgrade to a premium Zapier account, you’ll have unlimited access to these types of tasks and additional tasks like sending a thank you email to attendees when they check-in.

The goal here is to save you time, resources, and money, which can be difficult when running a small business. If you know that your usage will be limited, you can still access Zapier to automate your event processes.

Connect with your favorite tools

If you’re already using Zapier to connect with Event Automator, the good news is that you can keep on using it. As long as you only perform each task fifty times a month, you’ll get it for free.

If you’re already using the Microsoft suite of products for your other business tasks, like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Microsoft Power Automate may be the way to go for you. Power Automate lets you connect with Event Automator for a flat fee of about $20 per month. And for qualifying nonprofits, you can apply for an even deeper discount with Microsoft Power Automate. This grants you access to all of the features available to automate your event processes. Whichever path you choose, Event Automator will make it easier for you to save time and money so you can get back to what’s important to you: your business!
