New Features
Introducing a New Styling Update to Your Dashboards!
We're thrilled to unveil an updated styling for the admin and chapter dashboard that brings a more cohesive and harmonious experience as you interact with different elements. This means a more clean and intuitive interface that's easy on the eyes and optimized for a great interaction. Dashboard functionality and flows will currently remain the same, but we're planning to improve functionality and flows in the near future.
Event Add to Calendar Integration
We’re excited to introduce a new calendar integration that will enhance the attendee planning experience. Attendees will no longer have to manually add registered events to their calendar. With this new integration, attendees’ registered events will be instantly added to their Gmail or Yahoo calendar. With a simple click of the button, they’ll be able to easily add it to their Outlook, Apple, or Thunderbird calendar via the ticket confirmation email. Event details like dates and notes will also sync seamlessly into their calendars.
Merged Admin Analytics Dashboard
After a long journey, we have reached a major milestone and are thrilled to release the newly merged Admin Analytics Dashboard. This fusion of our Admin Analytics-Beta and legacy Admin Analytics will deliver the following benefits:
- Enhanced visualizations from the Beta version
- A new website analytics dashboard
- Additional virtual engagement data to the Events dashboard

Event Analytics for Organizers
Now available – Event analytics tailored for organizers. Organizers can now access event analytics at their fingertips through the individual event dashboards. This set of analytics will provide key event insights, including:
- Overview of attendee and check-in #s
- Virtual engagement data for virtual and hybrid events
Automated Emails – Trigger improvement
Automated scheduling and rescheduling of automated emails upon event trigger creation or modification now exist. Previously, if a user edited or created an automated email based on event triggers, events would need to be republished before those emails would be scheduled for that event. Now scheduling/rescheduling of Automated emails automatically takes place for events upon adds or edits to the event triggers.
Chapter Page Builder Display Rules Adds
We have released new display rules for chapter page components based on member status or chapter type. The chapter member display rule options allow you to display a component whether a page visitor is a chapter member or non-chapter member. The chapter type display rule options allow you to display a component whether the chapter is or is not a parent chapter.

-
Event Page Speaker Bio not Clickable – we resolved an issue where the Speaker Bio on event pages was not clickable.

Adding Events to Microsoft Outlook Calendar App – Previously, users were unable to add events to their Microsoft Outlook calendar via the app. This has now been fixed.
