News & Updates

July, 2024

It’s holiday time in many parts of the world and B2B events are not as dense as in spring and fall. At InvitePeople, the summer period is a time for reflection and exploration, we make plans for the fall and evaluate selected parts of our platform. Since last time we have released lots of exciting updates and especially the schedule has gotten a big boost. Have a great summer and enjoy the news below! 😎

Matchmaking & Meeting Generation 🤝

  • A new Widget kind has been released: Matchmaking cards. With this new widget, you can select profile fields to use for matching participants. Add the cards to the Logged in view or the Event app and allow participants to get personalized suggestions of people they might be interested in contacting. Participants will be able to quickly browse through the suggestions by selecting Fetch a new match, Mark as uninteresting, or Add to favorites.
  • You can now add Tags to Meetings and categorize them into types or groups. The tags are only visible to you and other administrators. Assign tags to individual meetings or in batches when viewing any meeting list. You can then later filter out your tagged meetings in the Booked meetings list or in exports.
  • The Meeting generator has been updated with a new setting: Book main meeting party in exhibitor booth. Use this setting to book partakers from the Main meeting party in exhibitor booths if possible. Booking in booths works for company partakers with a booth name set.

Sessions & Schedules 📅

  • A new setting at Settings → Session settings → Settings → Schedule settings has been released: Schedule mode. You can switch the schedule mode to Blocks and the sessions will be presented by equal-size blocks instead of being scaled on the time axis. This mode will work best for events where the schedule if fairly symmetrical and most sessions start and end in parallel.
  • Participants can now choose to view the session schedule with two different modes: Time vertically (this is the old and default mode) or Time horizontally. You can set the default mode participants will see on their initial visit at Settings → Session settings → Settings → Default time axis.
  • A third session setting has been released: Schedule elements. You can now freely choose whether to Show profile pictures and/or Show lecturers in the schedule.
  • Session Locations has gotten a new setting: Color. You can choose from 5 predefined colors, or select your own using a color picker. The color will be visible in the schedule and when printing out the session location in lists and detailed views.
  • The session schedule now has a Fullscreen button that can be used to expand the schedule. This is especially useful for your participants when viewing the schedule on mobile devices and small screens.

Apple & Google Wallet 🗂️

  • Integrations with Apple and Google Wallet have been released. You can edit, test, and publish Wallet Passes at Settings → Customize appearance → Wallet settings. After publishing the Wallet Pass, participants can download tickets to their Apple or Google Wallets from the My tickets page or the Order confirmation page by clicking on the Add to Wallet buttons. This new feature is not enabled by default, please contact us if you are interested in Wallet integrations!

Reporting & Statistics 📊

  • Email delivery details regarding Bounced emails, Marked as spam, and Unsubscribed emails can now be downloaded in XLSX and CSV format at Administer → Statistics → Email delivery.
  • You can now filter out a date range (up to 7 days at once) of activity statistics at Administer → Statistics → Activity.

Exports & API Updates 💾

  • The Assigned meeting ratings export has a new column: Meeting. This column indicates how many meetings that are booked between the partakers.
  • Two columns have been added to the Favorites export: Participant role and Role. These columns indicate the role of the participant (Visitor, Exhibitor, Speaker, etc).
  • A new export Internal files has been released. With this new export, you can fetch a list of all internal files uploaded for sessions and companies, shared between event administrators, session content managers, and company administrators.
  • Version 2.2.15 of the InvitePeople REST API has been released. This update contains a new property data_minimization_status added to the Event object. For more details, visit our documentation at https://docs.invitepeople.com/
