Frequently asked questions

Can I use this template for different types of events?
Absolutely. It’s flexible enough for conferences, webinars, training programs, meetups, or even internal team events. Just customize the data and user flows to match your event format.
What do I need to get started?
All you need is a free Softr account. Duplicate the template into your workspace, then prompt the AI Co-Builder to adjust the schedule, speaker fields, or attendee flow, or use the visual editor for hands-on control.
The sample database is already structured for events, so you can start customizing right away.
Can I collect RSVPs or speaker submissions through the portal?
Yes. Add forms to collect attendee signups, speaker proposals, or session feedback, no extra tools needed.
Can I customize the design and branding?
Yes. Duplicate the template into your workspace, then prompt the AI Co-Builder to rebrand it: swap in your logo and colors, or rename the Schedule table's session types (Keynote, Panel, Workshop, and more) to match your event format.
Prefer hands-on control? Use the visual editor to adjust layout, fonts, and colors yourself, then connect your own domain for a fully branded experience.
Can I automate notifications for my event?
Yes. Softr Workflows let you trigger automated actions from your event data. For example, you can notify your budget owner by email the moment a line item goes over its allocated amount, using the template's built-in budget tracking.
You can also notify your team when a new attendee registers or a speaker submission comes in, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Do I need to use the sample database, or can I connect my own data?
This template comes with a built-in Softr Database, already structured for schedules, speakers, attendees, and budgets.
If you prefer Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, monday.com, or another source, Softr connects to it natively. You can swap the data source in Softr Studio without rebuilding the app.
