We're excited to announce a new integration that connects OpenWater directly into Swapcard Studio — enabling you to automatically import Sessions, Speakers, and Applicants from your OpenWater program into your event.

✅  Simple Authentication

Connect your OpenWater account by providing three credentials:

• Client Key — your OpenWater domain
• API Key — your OpenWater API secret
• Program ID — the numeric ID of the program to sync

Once entered, Swapcard validates your credentials immediately and alerts you if anything needs adjusting.

✅  Sync Sessions, Speakers & Applicants

The integration supports five object types — each independently toggleable:

• Sessions — scheduled conference slots, imported as Swapcard Sessions
• Applications — accepted submissions assigned to sessions, also imported as Swapcard Sessions
• Documents — speaker file uploads (slides, agendas) auto-imported with Applications
• Speakers — presenters and organizers listed in submissions, imported as Persons linked to their sessions
• Applicants — the OpenWater account holders who submitted proposals, imported as Persons

✅  Flexible Field Mapping & Import Filters

For each object, you can map both standard fields and dynamic fields sourced from your OpenWater form templates — including custom submission fields, round data, and speaker table columns.

Import filters let you control exactly which records come through — filter by session type, category, submission status, or any custom field value.

💡 Why This Matters

With this new integration, you can:

• Save time by eliminating manual exports from OpenWater and CSV uploads into Swapcard.
• Ensure accuracy by keeping your event app in sync with the accepted program directly from the source.
• Go live faster by automatically populating sessions, speakers, and profiles as soon as submissions are accepted and scheduled in OpenWater.
