Event Registration management via web api
All of our events require registration and approval of each registrant. This is done for legal reasons, and is currently a manual process.
Event is created -> Registration URL is created
Guests register via URL, providing extra information via registration questions
Guest list is retrieved manually via the report mechanism (so all the additional info is included) -> Manually filtered via Excel
Excel list is processed via an internal tool to verify registration information matches our records
-> Matching list is approved manually in Adobe Connect event management
-> Non-matching list is manually rejected (generally the issue is resolved and the user re-registers with the correct info)
This process is a bit complex and I'm looking to automate it using the web APIs. The problem with the existing web interface is:
There doesn't seem to be a way to download the list of users with their registered/approve/denied status
There doesn't seem to be a way to just download a list of users pending approval
You can filter by registration status in "Participant Management", but you can't download that filtered list
In order to get the registration questions, you have to generate a user report, but I can't find a way to include the registration status in the report
Even if I could get a CSV file with all the information I need, I'd still have to go back and manually approve everyone after manually processing the list against our database... It would be better, but still a lot of manual work.
In short, I need a way to get all of the participants registered for an event, including all of their registration question responses and registration status (or a way to filter by "pending"). Then I need a way to update the registration status to "approved" or "deny" so the system can send the appropriate emails.
I don't see any APIs in the documentation that can do these things, but they must exist if the admin web pages can perform these operations... I seem to be able to get some of the information i'm after via the "report-event-participants-complete-information" action, but not all of it and I can't update anything through that mechanism.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
