News & Updates

April, 2024

---

April has been one of the busiest event months of all time at InvitePeople. Both the number of events and participants peaked during the past month. We successfully delivered one of our largest physical events ever together with lots of digital, hybrid, and smaller on-site events. We also continued to enhance our beloved meeting module and released some long-awaited features for other areas. Here in Stockholm, the sun is out. We suggest you grab a cup of coffee and read about our updates outdoors! 🌤️

Matchmaking & Meeting Generation 🤝

• We’ve updated the Meeting generator with a new setting: Max number of additional partakers for group meetings. This setting decides how many partakers to allow in one group meeting. It really comes in handy when generating meetings for virtual conferences, when group meetings might become a little too crowded since the number of seats in each room isn’t limited.
• We added a new quick action, that will make adding additional partakers to meetings a lot easier! Just open up a partaker who hasn’t yet got their ratings or requests met and choose between Book meeting and Add to meeting. Adding for example late registration partakers to existing group meetings is a great and quick way of squeezing in more participants in an already packed meeting schedule.
• Ratings relevant to a booked meeting can now be viewed by you when viewing meetings on the Meeting planning board or a single meeting under Full meeting details.

CC email addresses 📩

• A new profile field has been added: CC email address. This profile field is designed to let participant receive copies of their emails from the event to a second email address. The email address entered needs to be a professional address with the same domain as the participant’s email address, also public email provider addresses (Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, iCloud, etc) are not accepted. For security reasons, the CC email address will be suppressed for user accounts with administrator rights. Since this is a feature that might have a negative impact on security and privacy for events it is only enabled after a brief use case description. Please contact us if you are interested in the CC email function!

Localized Sorting 🌐

• A new language setting is now available for you at Settings → Event settings → Language: Sorting language. Alphabetically sorted lists in InvitePeople are ordered according to Swedish rules by default. This works well for both international (English) and most Nordic events but is not the optimal way of sorting lists alphabetically for eg. German events. So if you’re running lots of events in German, you might benefit from changing the Sorting language settings. This new setting applies to sorting in the list views in the Logged-in views and the Event app, it will not change the sorting in the administrator backend.

The Lead Scanning App 📱

• A direct link for downloading and logging in to the lead scanning app is now available for company representatives in the Logged-in views / Event app at My company → Get leads app.

Exports and API Updates 💾

• The Finished payments export has a new column: Event ID.
• The Session information export has a new column: Number of lecturers.
• Version 2.2.14 of the InvitePeople REST API has been released. This update contains two new endpoints: Get all Meetings and Get a specific Meeting. For more details, visit our documentation at https://docs.invitepeople.com/
