We have some exciting news to share with you! As part of our continuous effort to improve and enhance your networking experience, we are pleased to announce that you can now receive notifications for the Newsfeed activity in all your events, including comments and reactions. This means that you will no longer have to constantly check your Newsfeed to see if anyone has engaged with your posts. Instead, you will receive real-time notifications whenever someone comments on your post or reacts to it.

We understand that staying updated on your Newsfeed activity is crucial for networking and building connections. This feature ensures you're always in the loop and can respond promptly, improving both your efficiency and experience on Swapcard. You’ll save time while staying engaged with your network seamlessly. 

The Swapcard widgets now come in a new version that improves both performance and customization options for event organizers embedding content into their websites.

What's new:

🚀 Script-enhanced widget for smoother integration

A new version of the widget is available and includes a lightweight JavaScript script. This new setup:

• Automatically adjusts the height of the widget, eliminating the need for inner scrollbars
• Prevents the “double scrollbar” effect that occurs when an iframe doesn’t fit well into the page
• Improves overall performance

🔄 Infinite scroll toggle

Organizers now have the choice to enable or disable infinite scroll:

• Enabled: Content loads seamlessly as users scroll (ideal for standalone pages)
• Disabled: A "Load more" button appears instead, allowing users to explore additional content at their pace — particularly useful if the widget is placed above other elements you want to keep accessible.

🧩 Still need iframe-only?

For platforms or CMSs that don’t support custom scripts, the original iframe-only version remains available and functional — just with fewer customization and SEO capabilities.

You can configure and preview your widget in the Pages & menu section of the Event Builder.
