Ask guests questions when they book (and get the answers in a spreadsheet)

By the Yano team · 9 October 2026 · 4 min read

Most organisers end up running a Google Form next to their ticketing — and then matching names between the two. Asking at the moment of booking removes that whole step.

What you can ask

  • Instagram handle — popular for socials, mixers and community events.
  • T-shirt size for runs and treks, food preference for dinners, experience level for workshops.
  • Company or college for networking events.
  • Anything else, as a short answer or a choice from options. Mark any question as required.

Where the answers go

  • On each guest in your dashboard (Instagram handles become tappable links).
  • In the guest-list download, one column per question — ready for Excel or Google Sheets.
  • On the request, when you approve guests before they pay.

Tips

  • Ask as little as possible — every extra question loses a few bookings.
  • Say why you ask (“so we can order your T-shirt”).
  • Never ask for documents or ID numbers in a booking form.
