News & Updates

January, 2025

Happy new 2025! 🎆 When writing this the InvitePeople team has just finished our yearly kick-off. Three energized, forward-looking, and fun days filled with insights from 2024 and discussions about 2025. We are ready to bring it and can reveal some new Development Focus Areas. We will continue developing our Data Integrations and APIs. We will improve our onsite solutions to deliver more easy-to-use and cost-efficient badge printing. Most importantly, we will ramp up our AI developments to streamline, to begin with, internal processes. We believe in the personal meeting and want to keep giving you all great human-to-human support. With the help of GenAI and ML we can do just that, but quicker and more accurately. There are exciting times ahead and of course, some exciting recent releases to read about right now.

Matchmaking & Meeting Generation 🤝

  • A new feature for Assigned meetings → Generated meetings has been released: Extend. The Extend feature is similar to the Copy feature but will instead of creating completely separate meeting generations create extensions of existing ones. This is useful when doing multiple generations, especially for complex matchmaking cases: for example across different meeting days, using different tags, or with different settings. When extending a generation the previous matches in the main generation and all other extended generations will be taken into account, and duplicated match-ups will be avoided. The Extend feature can also be used to squeeze in additional meetings if more Meeting partakers have been added to a Meeting party.

General Administrator Backend Improvements 💻

  • The main menu in the administrator backend has gotten two new categories: Communication and Reporting. Under Communication, you can now find: Event chat, Email batches, SMS batches, and Notification batches. Under Reporting, you can now find: Statistics and Exports. If the number of open sections in the menu becomes overwhelming, there is now a button at the bottom to close all expanded sections.
  • The Ticket checkin view has been reworked and updated to provide smoother filtering and a better overview of tickets. A new Choose ticket type filter has been added, that will both filter the participants and the checkin buttons visible. The top bar is now sticky, making it easy to access when scrolling down.
  • The Content managers list in the administrator backend can now be filtered by: All content managers, Content managers with at least one session, and Content managers with no sessions.

New Import Types 📄

  • A new import type has been added: Busy time slots. This allows you to import Marked as busy blocks into participants’ calendars. The calendars can be marked as busy either using the default free_slots mode or using the double_book mode. When using the free_slots mode only available slots will be marked as busy. When using the double_book mode the whole imported time slot will be marked as busy, potentially creating double bookings on top of existing meetings or sessions.

Exports and API Updates 💾

  • A new export Assigned meeting free time slots has been released. This new export contains all free calendar time slots for all Assigned meeting partakers together with basic partaker data and profile fields. It can be filtered by Meeting parties and Dates.
  • A new filter has been added to the All participants export. Content managers can now be filtered by: All content managers, Content managers with at least one session, and Content managers with no sessions.
  • The Ticket scans export now includes all ticket scans (eg. for add-ons and session tickets). It also includes more participant data such as Participant ID, First name, Last name, and the event’s profile fields.

SMS Pricing Update 📲

  • Our SMS pricing has been updated due to rising market prices for text messages. We know that text messaging is important to you, and have managed to negotiate and control the price levels. The Swedish pricing remains the same, and the German pricing has been decreased! The full price list can be found here: https://invitepeople.com/sms

September, 2022
Hi again! The InvitePeople team has been back from a well-needed vacation for some time now. We dearly hope that you have gotten the time to relax during the summer as well, having energy for lots of event creation. Looking at the coming fall and event season, one thing is certain: the physical event is back in business and the virtual event is here to stay!
May, 2022
Spring has come to InvitePeople HQ in Stockholm, and with that lots of energy for a summer full of events. In our experience, the B2B event season has been extended since the pandemic virtual events boom. Events taking place earlier in January and closer to summer vacations. Another rising trend is the Continuous Meeting event concept, allowing events to live longer, sometimes for years!
February, 2022
We are only a month into the new year and we have already completed lots of events! Still mostly digital events and of course also some pivots from physical due to Omicron and new restrictions. We carry on, developing InvitePeople with focus on you, our dear customer. Interactivity, emails, support features, imports, and ticket sale VAT configurations have been on the agenda lately.
December, 2021
We are continuously working on our email sender reputation and the quality of the emails sent from InvitePeople.com. All emails sent from us are authenticated and we consistently score high ratings from email providers. The coming month we will release some updates to ensure even better email delivery, more on that later on.
October, 2021
We always strive to make our interface easier to use for you. Still we don’t want to make too many big changes at a time, allowing you and all the other InvitePeople users to adapt gradually. Some of the more prominent improvements can be found in the HTML and CSS editors, in the meetings and calendar handling functions and in video management.
August, 2021
We are constantly working on making InvitePeople easier to understand both for administrators and participants. Most often we try to make small and gradual changes to the administrator UI, but this summer we renamed one of the most important InvitePeople modules. Seminars are now called sessions to provide a more general and easier to understandable name.
May, 2021
We have released new features for chats, allowing participants to like messages and administrators and moderators can view of a toplist of the most liked messages. There are two new import types for: seminar participants and breakout participants. This will give administrators full control over who joins which seminar or breakout session. We also updated our email reporting with open, delivery and bounce statuses for each individual email.
April, 2021
We have worked hard with accessibility, foremost improving keyboard navigation compatibility. We updated our REST API with 6 new endpoints and lots of new participant data. Also, it is now possible to fully manage subtitles for videos uploaded in InvitePeople and we added pre recorded live functionality to our Vimeo integration.
February, 2021
We have improved the experience for mobile users, when watching video and using the chat. The video meeting rooms are now loading alot faster. There is more granualar access control for seminars, and administrator can choose exactly who to give access to a certain seminar.
