Enhancing Events with Custom Link Fields (by using Native Integrations)

Creating meaningful connections is at the heart of every successful event. A crucial element in fostering these connections is the ability to provide detailed and rich profiles that give participants and organizers the information they need to engage effectively. However, up until now, event organizers have faced a significant challenge: the struggle with disconnected links.

Enrich Custom Fields with Multiple Links

To overcome the challenges of including multiple web links under a single custom field, we’re excited to introduce Link Custom Fields—a new feature designed to transform how web links are managed. With Link Custom Fields, you can now create multiple weblinks under a single field, each with its own title and description. This new capability allows you to present categorized URL links that make your event more engaging and organized. 

By enabling organizers to map multiple source links into a single field with accompanying names and descriptions, we’re ensuring a seamless and enriched user experience. Additionally, our system is designed to handle missing data within incoming records gracefully — only valid links are added, and unnamed links will show as traditional URLs in imported profiles.

What Will You Love About This?

For participants, this enhancement translates to more detailed and informative data, making it easier to find and engage with the content and people that matter most to them. 

For organizers, this update means a significant improvement in the integration process and the ability to create more engaging content that truly represents the depth and breadth of the event’s offerings. Using Link fields in the way that they're meant to be used (e.g. where multiple social media site links can be collected under a single link block) makes profiles look much neater in your events.

What you need to know to get started

These updates are designed and built to boost your efficiency and enhance your experience with our Native Integrations and the overall participant engagement, available from September 5, 2024.
