Conference Registration Automation

Tools Used: n8n | Make | Google Forms | Google Sheets | Gmail

Project Overview

This automation handles end-to-end conference registration for Conference 2026. When an attendee submits a registration form, their details are logged instantly, and they receive a personalised confirmation email based on their chosen track.

The Challenge

The problem was intentionally straightforward: automate a conference registration flow. But I built it twice to answer one question:

Which tool serves this workflow better: Make or n8n?

The flow needed to:

• Accept a Google Form submission
• Log each registrant's details in Google Sheets
• Route each submission based on the selected track
• Send a personalised Gmail confirmation with track-specific content

Solution 1 — Built in Make

Make's native Google Forms integration made this a smooth, linear build with no workarounds.
