Logging in just got way less annoying 🤗

We've made a few UX quick wins that may be small on paper, but feel huge in practice:

• Autofill magic ✨: If you’re using a native email app, your one-time code now appears magically without the need to go to your mail app!
• No more dashes: We’ve stripped the “-” from the OTP code both in emails and on the app. Because typing shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle.
• Instant focus: Land on the OTP page and your cursor’s already in the first box, ready to roll.

Less clicking, less thinking, more getting-stuff-done.

We have some exciting news to share with you! As part of our continuous effort to improve and enhance your networking experience, we are pleased to announce that you can now receive notifications for the Newsfeed activity in all your events, including comments and reactions. This means that you will no longer have to constantly check your Newsfeed to see if anyone has engaged with your posts. Instead, you will receive real-time notifications whenever someone comments on your post or reacts to it.

We understand that staying updated on your Newsfeed activity is crucial for networking and building connections. This feature ensures you're always in the loop and can respond promptly, improving both your efficiency and experience on Swapcard. You’ll save time while staying engaged with your network seamlessly. 

Please note: This feature is currently only available on the web Event App. It is not yet available on the mobile Event App.

The Swapcard widgets now come in a new version that improves both performance and customization options for event organizers embedding content into their websites.

What's new:

🚀 Script-enhanced widget for smoother integration

A new version of the widget is available and includes a lightweight JavaScript script. This new setup:

• Automatically adjusts the height of the widget, eliminating the need for inner scrollbars
• Prevents the “double scrollbar” effect that occurs when an iframe doesn’t fit well into the page
• Improves overall performance

🔄 Infinite scroll toggle

Organizers now have the choice to enable or disable infinite scroll:

• Enabled: Content loads seamlessly as users scroll (ideal for standalone pages)
• Disabled: A "Load more" button appears instead, allowing users to explore additional content at their pace — particularly useful if the widget is placed above other elements you want to keep accessible.

🧩 Still need iframe-only?

For platforms or CMSs that don’t support custom scripts, the original iframe-only version remains available and functional — just with fewer customization and SEO capabilities.

You can configure and preview your widget in the Pages & menu section of the Event Builder.

We’re thrilled to introduce a major improvement to your Swapcard experience! The "My Event" and "My Favorites" pages are now seamlessly integrated into your profile page, offering a more intuitive and streamlined navigation.

This update creates a single, centralized hub for managing both your personal information and event or community details. No more switching between pages; everything you need is now in one place. Whether you're updating your profile, checking your registered events, or exploring event schedules, you can now access it all from one unified location.

From your profile page, you can now:

• View your schedule, including sessions and meetings
• Access your saved contacts
• Browse bookmarks for exhibitors, saved items, and videos

We’ve also revamped the look of the profile page to make it cleaner, more modern, and easier to navigate. This fresh design ensures a visually appealing and user-friendly experience as you manage your event activities and personal details.

These features will dynamically adapt to your current event or community context, ensuring a personalized and relevant experience every time.

As part of this improvement, it will no longer be possible to create new "My Event" or "My Community" pages for future events once this update is released. To avoid redundancy within your event app, we strongly encourage organizers who have already created a "My Event" or "My Community" page to remove it. That said, existing pages will remain accessible until the end of 2025, after which they will be fully deprecated.

Our goal is to make your experience on Swapcard as efficient and user-friendly as possible. By combining the "My Event" and "My Favorites" pages with your profile, we’ve simplified workflows and reduced unnecessary clicks. This means you’ll spend less time navigating and more time engaging with what matters most: connecting with people, exploring sessions, bookmarks, and getting the most out of your events.

We’re continuously listening to your feedback to improve the platform. This revamp is just one of many enhancements we’re rolling out to make Swapcard the ultimate event experience.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts as you explore the new centralized profile page!

Effortless Access to Event Pages

When users visit the main page of an event—whether it's Home, Notifications, Messages, or Me—the navigation menu is always at their fingertips via the burger menu icon.

With a single tap, the menu slides out from the left, offering a clear and organized display of pages and group pages associated with the selected event.

Users can interact with the menu in multiple ways:

• Page Navigation: Clicking on any specific page takes the user directly to the content they need, with the menu closing automatically to maximize screen space.
• Group Page Management: Group pages are expandable and collapsible. When expanded, users can see all nested pages; when collapsed, the display is streamlined for simplicity.
