How Event Organizers Fill Registration Forms Faster with AI
Registering people for events is repetitive by nature. A team signing up for a conference, a group booking a workshop, a roster going onto a badge system: the same names, emails and roles get typed into registration forms one participant at a time. The list already exists, usually in a spreadsheet or an email. The work is getting it into the form.
This guide shows a workflow for filling registration forms from a participant list, using FillWise, a Chrome extension we build. We'll be specific about what it does, what it doesn't, and where you still need to look.
Why registration is so repetitive
The friction isn't organizing the event. It's the data entry that surrounds it:
- Group sign-ups are one-by-one forms. Registering a team of ten often means ten passes through the same form, or one long form with a section per attendee.
- The list lives somewhere else. Participant details sit in a spreadsheet or an email thread, not in the registration system's fields.
- The same roster feeds many systems. Registration, badge printing, catering counts and hotel blocks can each want the same names re-entered.
- Deadlines bunch it up. Registrations tend to land right before the cutoff, so the typing all happens at once.
None of this is event planning. It's transcription, which is what's worth automating.
The workflow
FillWise is a Chrome extension with a side panel. You give it the participant data, open the registration form, and click Fill web form. The AI reads your source, matches it to the fields on the page, and enters the values. You review and submit.
One-time setup
- Install FillWise from the Chrome Web Store.
- Sign in with Google. The free plan includes 5 form fills per week, enough to try it on your real forms before paying anything.
A form with several attendees
Some registration forms have one section per participant on a single page. For those, paste the whole roster into the side panel at once, from your spreadsheet or an email, and FillWise recognises each person and maps their details into the right participant sections.
One form per attendee
When each participant needs their own registration, keep the panel open with the roster pasted and work down the list: fill and submit the first attendee's form, then the next. The panel doesn't reset between fills, so you paste the roster once and reuse it.
There's no template to configure and no field mapping to set up. The form reads however it was built; the AI matches to it as it is on the page.
What it doesn't do
So expectations are right:
- It's not a registration platform integration. No connector or API to set up. It fills whatever form is open in your browser, which is why it works across systems without configuration.
- It doesn't submit forms in bulk on its own. It fills the form on screen; you review and submit each one. For per-attendee forms, that's a fast loop, not a single click for the whole list.
- It reads the roster you give it. Paste the list as text or attach a screenshot of it; a spreadsheet file itself isn't uploaded (see the FAQ).
What to check by hand
Autofill removes the typing, not the responsibility.
- Read names and emails against the roster; a wrong email means a badge or ticket goes to the wrong place.
- On multi-attendee forms, confirm each person landed in their own section and nothing shifted by a row.
- Check dropdowns like ticket type, session choice or meal preference, which depend on each person's selection.
Participant data and privacy
Participant details are personal data. When you paste text or attach an image as the source, it is sent encrypted to our servers, read by the AI to produce the field values, and is not stored after processing. Nothing is sold or used to train models. The specifics are in our privacy policy.
Pricing
The free plan gives you 5 form fills per week, no card required, enough to run a real registration through your actual form and judge the result. Paid plans are on the pricing page.
FAQ
Can it register a whole group at once? It depends on the form. If the registration form has a section per attendee on one page, paste the whole roster and FillWise fills each section. If each attendee needs a separate form, you fill them one at a time from the same pasted roster, which is still much faster than re-typing.
Can I upload my attendee spreadsheet (.xlsx)? Not as a file. Copy the rows and paste them as text, or attach a screenshot of the list; the AI reads either. More on working from spreadsheet data is in the spreadsheet automation guide.
What kinds of registration systems does it work with? Any that render as a web form in Chrome. It reads the form on the page rather than relying on an integration, so a layout change on the platform's side doesn't break it. For fillable PDF registration forms, see the PDF automation guide.
Does it store the participant list? No. The source you provide is processed to produce the values and is not retained afterwards. See the privacy policy.
Try it on your next group registration: install FillWise, open the form, and paste the roster. The free plan covers five fills a week.
