It's not even been 3 months since the last release but there are already 185 new commits in the code! :-) Tja, our annual ICF Conference is always a big booster for new features and ideas. Let's start:
We added the first API endpoint to create new users. And there are already some nice things like: sign-up the user to an activity or tag the user. Use Zapier or other automation tools to combine e.g. your forms with the endpoint and automate even more!
We also added webhooks! Connect the Event App CMS with endless other tools (e.g. via Zapier) and integrate it with your existing systems. Just one example: Send a webhook to Zapier and use Twillio (SMS provider) to send a text message to the user after the registration has been completed. Or an email. Or send the data into a Google Sheet. Or both ... endless options! 🥳
Next. Custom domains! 🎉 This is big. Make your event app available under your own domain e.g. app.mychurch.com or icfconference.app etc. You can also upload your own favicon now.
There have been a lot of smaller improvements and fixes to make the whole platform more robust. We are still working on integrating a PWA version of the frontend. The current version is only a SPA. What's the different?! We won't go into that - too technical... but PWA is better! 🤓
Please let us know if you have any feature requests or feedback! And we hope you like the new backend design... Cu! 🤙🏻
