SSO & Authentication Setup

EventHex supports multiple authentication methods for attendee registration and login. Choose the methods that best fit your event’s audience.

Authentication Methods

Email + OTP

The default authentication method. Attendees enter their email and receive a one-time password to verify their identity.

How it works:

1. Attendee enters their email address
2. EventHex sends a 6-digit OTP to their email
3. Attendee enters the OTP to verify
4. Registration proceeds

This is the most universal method — every attendee has an email address.

Social Logins

Let attendees register using their existing social accounts:

Provider	Use Case
Google	Most common — works for both personal and Google Workspace accounts
LinkedIn	Professional events, B2B conferences
Facebook	Consumer events, community gatherings

Social logins reduce registration friction — attendees don’t need to create a new account or remember another password.

Mobile + OTP

For regions where mobile numbers are preferred over email:

1. Attendee enters their mobile number
2. EventHex sends an SMS OTP
3. Attendee verifies and proceeds

Note

SMS OTP requires WhatsApp or SMS provider configuration. Check your organization’s messaging settings.

Registration Form Authentication

Configure which authentication methods appear on your registration form:

1. Go to Settings → Registration or your ticket’s registration form settings.
2. Under Authentication, toggle the methods you want to enable:
   • Email + OTP
   • Google Login
   • LinkedIn Login
   • Mobile + OTP
3. Set the default method — this appears first on the form.
4. Click Save.

You can enable multiple methods simultaneously. Attendees choose their preferred option.

Enterprise SSO

For corporate events and organizations that require Single Sign-On:

• SAML 2.0 — integrate with enterprise identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin)
• OAuth 2.0 — custom OAuth integration with your company’s authentication system

Caution

Enterprise SSO requires custom configuration. Contact EventHex support to set up SSO for your organization.

Best Practices

• Enable Google login for public events — it’s the fastest registration method and most people have a Google account.
• Use LinkedIn for professional events — LinkedIn login also pulls profile data (name, company, title), which enriches your attendee data.
• Keep Email + OTP as fallback — always leave email OTP enabled as a universal fallback. Not everyone uses social logins.
• Match your audience — if your event targets a mobile-first audience (like in the Middle East or South Asia), enable Mobile + OTP prominently.
• Test each method — register using every enabled authentication method to verify the flow works end-to-end.
