Networking is key and it increases for all events using the app. Because attendees can’t wait to meet others, we provide a new additional feature to Swapcard meetings: the ability to add an expiration time to all pending meeting requests.

Pending meeting requests can stay unanswered for a long time if they are sent to inactive users. By adding an expiration time, the event organizers allow users to free the time slots and book more and more meetings to continue to connect. Networking becomes easier and faster!

How does it work?

The event organizers go to the Studio > Meetings > Request rule. For each request rule, an expiration time can be set up. It can be:

• the meeting start date, meaning that it won’t expire
• a personalized expiration time: pending meetings will expire after this time, it can be days, hours, or minutes.

The expiration time can be modified in the request rule while the event is live and ongoing. All new pending meetings created after this update will have a new expiration time.

The users will be notified before the pending meetings expired

Inside the Studio, organizers can see the expired status for each meeting and filter the meeting table to manage the event. The are also able to check which participant didn't answer the meeting request on time.
