Product Updates

Let’s face it: registering for an event is never a cookie-cutter experience. Some events might have two data fields and take seconds to register for, others might be a fairly lengthy journey.

Swoogo now allows for a custom registration timeout. Trying to create urgency and get registrants flowing in fast? Set a short timeout! Trying to allow for more time for a complex registration flow? Set a lengthy timeout period and give registrants some breathing room.

Check out this Help Center article about Registration Timeout Period for more details!

Q: What musician never has to remember a password? A: Kenny Loggins. (Sorry!)

With a recent update, we’ve given event managers more control over registrant/attendee login behavior. Specifically, you can now choose to show a “Remember Me” checkbox on your Login Forms, and set a custom duration in hours or days. Once you’ve set it up, attendees can more easily come back to your event without logging in again.

This is a helpful feature for multi-day virtual events, where users are frequently coming back for more sessions, or longer duration in-person events where folks may want to access their personalized agenda, 1:1 meeting details, invoices, and other items that are behind a login.

Breakout meetings are a key part of many events. We love our one-on-one meetings feature — we know you do too.

So, we’ve made 1:1 meetings even better: first, we added an option to mark meetings as In-Person, which in turn can require a location be set. Because if you’re meeting IRL, you need to know where!

Additionally, we added an option to block off meeting times as soon as a time is requested (before the time is confirmed). Time is valuable, now you can manage it more easily.

For more info, check our Help Center documentation about 1:1 Meetings.

We’ve added a new API endpoint! Now you can grab Session attendance data from the /session-attendances endpoint, without having to go through /registrant.

If you’re using Session attendance information in creative ways throughout your event and marketing stack, this one’s for you! Check out our full API documentation at developer.swoogo.com

Now you can rename dashlets! Less hovering, faster access to event data. If you’re already using Dashlets, have at it – if not, check out this Swoogo Help Center article about Dashlets.
