Cannot add custom question

[andy.r...@carpe-diem.co.uk]

We have been using the POST /questions endpoint with no problems but I recently stopped working with one of the parameters. We cannot post question.respondent of attendee anymore, even though it is listed in the API documentation.

Request is POST https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/41334630994/questions/

Body is:

{
  "question.question.html": "Your WBEx Membership ID",
  "question.required": "true",
  "question.type": "text",
  "question.respondent": "attendee", // this is the problem argument
  "question.display_answer_on_order": "true"
}

The request works if question.respondent is set to ticket_buyer.

Thanks,

Andy

Hey Andy!

Regarding this issue, one thing you can check is the survey type for the event - within your event management portal - on eventbrite.com. Let me know if you need help with this and I can follow up here with screenshots tomorrow.

The survey type will need to be set to “each attendee” for the question.respondent to be set to attendee. Otherwise set the question.respondent to ticket-buyer.

In the situation where the event survey is NOT set to “each attendee” - the ticket_buyer is the attendee and those terms are acting synonymously.

I hope this helps you move forward.
Best,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

I can see the settings in the portal, but I need to set this via the API as the event and its questions are all being created with the API. How to I set the event survey type to 'each attendee' using the API?

Thanks,
Andy
