What is Newsfeed?
Newsfeed is a tool that ensures that the most important information gets to your attendees. You can find it in the tab Engagement. It can help you boost engagement and communicate everything you need. There are no limits. You can post pictures, GIFs, links, formatted texts - scheduled or instantly.
How to use Newsfeed
You have three options for using newsfeed:
Plan and schedule all the posts in advance
Write and send the posts in real time during the event
Combine these two approaches
For example, you know that there will be a coffee break at 8 AM and the first lecture starts at 9 AM. You schedule an announcement for 8:45 AM, which tells the attendees that they should come to the main stage in a few minutes. Afterwards, if you see that people are not coming yet, you can send them another reminder straight from your mobile phone.
You can also use the newsfeed to tell your attendees everything you need and want. A few examples:
Announce the start and end of each break
Remind attendees to give feedback to the speakers after sessions
Recommend where to go for lunch
Send funny GIFs
You can choose to send the messages with push notifications which ensures that your attendees won't miss any important news.
You can also login to the Eventee mobile app with your admin or moderator account and use the app functions for organisers. For example, you can send newsfeed posts through the mobile app conveniently during the conference.
Note: The Send button (highlighted on the left side) is available only to organiser team. Attendees can share their experience through the Social wall.
How to send the GIFs from the mobile app?
You can easily send the GIFs from the iOS mobile app like this:
Open the Eventee iOS app and login as admin or moderator.
Open your event in app.
Head over to Feed tab.
Find the Send button highlighted in the picture above.
Click on it, and you are on the New post screen. Picture and GIFs button are just above the Submit.
When scheduling posts for virtual or hybrid events, make sure that you understand how timezones work in Eventee.
Don't forget that the more posts you send, the higher engagement you are going to get! 💪
