I need to trigger a function once a ticket is purchased

[Travis]

I use Event Tickets Plus to sell seminar tickets with good results. I would now like to start selling tickets to a webinar.

I plan on using GoToWebinar because I already have an account established with them. GoToWebinar have an API where I can upload participant registration so that the participant doesn’t have to enter the some thing twice.

I’m looking for a function, hook, filter, anything that I can use to identify an Attendee’s name and email and apply that to the GoToWebinar API.

I was wondering about inserting code into the email.php, so that when the Attendee receives their ticket information I can insert a small function to check whether the ticket is to a webinar and then use custom fields in the event to store Webinar Keys and the like.

Is there a better way? I’ve been looking through the Codex and Knowledgeable for a while but haven’t found anything similar.

Thanks,
Travis

Hey Travis,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You could definitely add the additional information to the ticket email. However, I’m pretty sure you could trigger a function on ticket sale as well. For that, which ecommerce solution will you be using along with the Event Tickets Plus plugin for selling your tickets?

Thanks!

Thanks for replying, I’m using WooCommerce.

Hey Travis,

Thanks for following up here.

Take a look at this quick snippet:

This will run on a completed WooCommerce transaction and I’ve added some boilerplate there for you to test if it was a ticket sale. You can further customize from there to add the GoTo Meeting API calls and send the information based on the order there.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

That’s brilliant, thank you for making that for me. I’ll get things set-up over the weekend and give it a run.

Hey Travis,

Awesome! Happy to help.

I’ll leave this thread open for a bit in case you want to come back here after testing it out over the weekend.

Thanks!
