Connections

Connections exports for attendees

But we also want to empower your other event attendees to preserve and nurture the relationships they've formed.

Hyperlinks on profiles get a glow up

Introducing link-type custom profile fields

Are you ready for a revolution in the way links are displayed on Grip? Link-type custom profile fields have been built specifically for input of web links onto a profile.

They will appear as a separate block on a profile page and, rather than displaying the full URL, will instead display a title and a description. This will make profile pages look considerably cleaner and more professional, giving event participants the opportunity to give context to the links they have added.

Explainer text for your custom profile fields

Absolute clarity on what you're asking for

We give you the ability to add explainer text to your Custom Profile Fields, allowing you to provide additional information to help clarify the information being requested, making your data more reliable. For freeform fields, this explainer text will be displayed within the text field itself. For pre-defined fields, the explainer text will appear at the top of the page.

Control your data by setting minimum, maximum and required profile values

Minimum, maximum, and required fields for custom profile values

At Grip, we've never previously made any profile fields mandatory, for ease of participant access. But as organizers, sometimes there are data points that are essential for your event to run successfully.

By introducing minimum, maximum and required profile values, we can make sure you get the info you need for maximum event success.

A Parent>Child Custom Profile Field is one that has at least two layers of categorization; incredibly useful for events where you have large amounts of data that needs to be navigated. You will be familiar with this concept through shopping on retail sites where you have millions of products, filtered by categories and subcategories.
