In virtual/hybrid events, interactive sessions have become a crucial component to engage participants and foster meaningful discussions. To enhance this experience further, a notable development has taken place with the introduction of new customization capabilities on the Session Interaction container. This update offers organizers the ability to tailor their session interface by hiding or unhiding tabs and reordering them according to their preferences.

Prior to this update, the Live Interaction container consisted of three tabs, each serving a specific purpose. These tabs were Live Discussion, Questions, and Polls. While these tabs provided valuable features, their static order limited the flexibility and personalization options available to session organizers.

With the recent enhancements, organizers now have the ability to hide or unhide each tab based on their requirements. This customization feature enables organizers to streamline their session's user interface, presenting participants with only the relevant tabs for a specific event. By hiding unnecessary tabs, organizers can reduce clutter and create a more focused and tailored interaction container.

Furthermore, the ability to reorder the tabs adds an additional layer of flexibility and customization. Previously, the fixed order of the tabs restricted organizers from adapting the session interface to their desired flow. However, with the new update, organizers can rearrange the tabs to match their event's structure and priorities. For instance, if questions take precedence over live discussions in a particular session, organizers can reorder the tabs accordingly, placing the Questions tab before the Live Discussion tab.

Finally, the interactions container that was named initially “Live Discussion” can now be renamed:

In addition, these new features have also been extended to the default Session settings. This means that all sessions created after the update will automatically adopt the customized settings, eliminating the need to manually update each individual session. By applying these settings at the default level, organizers can ensure consistency and save time by defining the visibility and order of tabs, but also the interactions container name, universally across their sessions:

As event organizers, it's important that you reach out to your attendees with timely and relevant notifications. The metrics dashboard will provide you with valuable metrics to measure the success of your notifications, including the number of notifications sent, notifications planned, and mobile push delivered.

This new dashboard will give you a quick look at the effectiveness of your notifications, allowing you to optimize your campaigns and ensure that every message is delivered in the most efficient way. You'll also get a better understanding of how users are engaging with your notifications, so you can adjust your strategies accordingly.

Pendo’s integration provides event organizers with great data analytics capabilities. By capturing their attendees’ behavior and interactions within the app, Pendo generates valuable insights into attendees’ preferences, interests, and pain points which will help event organizers iterate with data-driven decisions and create a better user experience. Thanks to Pendo’s advanced features, event organizers can engage with their attendees in an easy and simple way by creating surveys and gathering real-time feedback to capture how attendees feel about their events. They can also create customized onboarding, send in-app notifications, and much more.

ℹ️ This feature is available upon request only. Please contact your account manager for further information and pricing.

We’re excited to announce the latest improvement to the Studio: Feed channels displayed by default on the Content menu. With this enhancement, we’ve made it easier than ever to set up and manage your feed channels.

Now, when you open the Swapcard Studio, you'll see “Feed channels” as the default view. We have updated the feed channels welcome screen as well with an easy step-by-step introduction to set up your first feed channel.

We’re always striving to make your experience better on the platform, and we hope these improvements make it easier for you to manage your community.

As an event organizer, keeping attendees informed and engaged is key to the success of your events. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through timely and targeted notifications. 

We have recently improved our notification manager with two new features: 

• Preview the notification when creating or editing it, and
• Create a notification by duplicating an existing one.

1. The preview feature allows you to see how your notification will look before it is sent out to attendees. This is particularly useful when creating a new notification or when editing an existing one. With the preview option, you can check the formatting, see how the link will appear, and ensure that the text is clear and concise.

To preview a notification, simply create a new notification and the preview section appears on the bottom part of the page, or edit an existing notification. The preview will show you exactly what your notification will look like, so you can make any necessary changes before sending it out to your attendees.

2. The duplication feature allows you to quickly and easily create a new notification based on an existing one. This is particularly useful if you have multiple notifications with similar content or if you want to send the same notification to different groups.

To duplicate a notification, simply select the notification you want to duplicate and click on the duplicate button. This will create a new notification with all of the same content as the original notification. You can then make any necessary changes to the new notification before sending it out to your attendees.

Both of these features are designed to save you time and ensure that your notifications are as effective as possible. By previewing your notifications before sending them out and duplicating notifications that have worked well in the past, you can improve the quality of your notifications and keep attendees engaged and informed.

There's been significant improvement in the email notification manager: Users will be able to manage their email preferences per community and not per event anymore. 🔥

The email preferences per event are replaced by the email preferences per community.

How does this work?

The email settings are located in the same place:

From the event page, click on the profile icon to access the drop-down menu, and then choose “Settings” to be redirected to the event settings page.

Under “Email notifications”, a community member can manage their email preferences.

⚠️ When an option is checked, the community member will set this new preference for the community and all the events linked to that community.

Today, we're excited to announce a new feature that will add a whole new dimension to your chat conversations—the ability to see who reacted to your messages!

Emojis and reactions have become a language of their own, allowing us to express our emotions and sentiments in a quick and fun way. However, up until now, once you sent a message and someone reacted to it, it was challenging to know who exactly.

With this new feature, those days are behind us. Now, when you send a message you'll be able to see a list of people who reacted to it right next to your message. This feature will bring greater clarity and engagement to your conversations, making it easier to understand how your message was received and who found it interesting or funny.
