Event data stays in your org Registrations, payments, and attendance are Salesforce records from the start. No middleware, no export, and no sync job that can fail.
Planners build events in Forge, not in your admin queue A web workspace for setup, sessions, tickets, forms, email, budget, and reporting. Sign-in runs through Salesforce, and your sharing rules still apply.
On-brand event pages with Page Designer Drag-and-drop event pages with live session, speaker, and ticket data, theme presets, and a built-in accessibility scanner. No CSS required. Forge doesn't replace Event Builder; both keep working as usual.
Report on data leadership already trusts Event performance reports run on the same Salesforce data as the rest of your org, with nothing to export first.
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.
Which Salesforce products are required? Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Platform. They also support Nonprofit Cloud and Education Cloud.
Blackthorn Events runs natively in Salesforce. Registrations, tickets, payments, and attendance are records in your org from the moment you create them. No middleware, no export, no second copy to reconcile. Forge is a web-based workspace where planners build and run events end to end, without filing admin requests. It reads and writes Salesforce records directly, sign-in runs through Salesforce, and your existing permissions and sharing rules apply. Page Designer, built into Forge, is a drag-and-drop builder for the event page. Session, speaker, and ticket data pulls in live from the event record. Includes theme presets, per-locale translations, and an accessibility scanner. No CSS required. Event Builder keeps working, attendee checkout still runs through Blackthorn Payments, and admins control who uses Forge. SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA-eligible, PCI SAQ D, GDPR, WCAG, ADA, VPAT.
