Fighting the spam folder
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. Right now you need to know about one of the breaking changes we are planning for the 17th of January. After that all emails sent from InvitePeople.com will get a new default sender, and the Reply-To function will be removed. This is to make sure our emails are not flagged as suspect phishing attacks.
The new default sender will be InvitePeople <events@invitepeople.com> and the option to select a sender name per event will be removed. We will offer all our yearly subscription customers to create their own sender name for all of their events, eg. The Company via InvitePeople <thecompany@invitepeople.com>. Please get in touch, and we will help you select an appropriate sender name!
We created new design options for you
We think that creating beautiful events should be simple, and keep developing our rich text editor and design options. Build stunning Netflix-style landing pages by combining the new background image and Card functions.
- From now on it is possible to upload background images, or choose plain background colors for event pages. The background images will be fixed, and cover the whole page.
- We added some new settings to allow you to hide or show the headers and breadcrumbs of pages.
- There is a new content block in the rich text editor: The Card. A card consists of an image and some text or other content. You will be able to make the whole card act as a clickable button, or add one or more smaller buttons to it.
- We also gave you the possibility to control the background color and opacity of both Jumbotrons and Cards.
Handling meetings has gotten a lot easier
Regardless if you are hosting events with a handful or thousands of meetings, managing and scheduling them should be straight forward.
- Handlings calendars for participants as an administrator is easier, for example blocking a whole day quickly.
- We built a whole new administrator booking flow for meetings, where you can search and add multiple participants in one place. You can also quickly schedule a whole company for a meeting.
- There is a new meeting feature: Draft meetings. A meeting set as Draft will block the booked participants calendars but the meeting details will only be available for administrators.
- Administrators can export the meetings for specific participants and/or companies to XLSX, CSV, PDF and iCal format.
- Microsoft Teams meeting now get granular participant reports down to the second. You can export all the Teams meeting sessions to XSLX or CSV.
- Add notes to meetings that will show to all participants before they join. This is great when there is something all meeting participants need to know.
More video improvements
We never rest when it comes to improving our video features.
- We recently released a new video meeting recording function that will record in full HD server side. This means that the recording will be independent of the internet connection speed of the user starting the recording.
- Since a while back our video meeting broadcasts allows up to a 1000 participants. Read more about video meeting participant limits here.
- We also did some tweaking of our auto play function for live streams and pre recorded lives. The chances of a live stream auto playing with sound on are higher now, and if it would ever mute we added an easy to find button to unmute again.
