# Add Event Registrants to CRM

When creating a community event, you can configure PEARS to automatically create CRM contact records for registrants. This links event registrations to the Community Relationships module.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Access to the Community Events module requires the appropriate permissions. Coordinate with your organization administrator and PEARS Support to be granted access.
{% endhint %}

{% step %}

#### Create or edit a community event

Navigate to **Plan > Community Events** and create a new event or open an existing one for editing.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enable CRM contact creation

In the **Additional Information** section of the event form, check the **Create CRM Contacts Automatically** option. When enabled, PEARS automatically creates a CRM contact record for each registrant.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save the event

Click **Save** or **Save and Continue** to save the event settings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### View CRM contacts from registrations

Click **Manage Registrations** to view who registered for the event. Use the redirect link under the **CRM** header in the registration list to navigate directly to the contact record in the CRM module, where you can view event history and interaction records.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Organization administrators can set a default CRM contact creation setting in **Organization Settings** under Event Management. Event creators can override this default for individual events.
