uConnect recently launched an exciting new update to our Symplicity events integration, which means more event content can be fed straight into your uConnect platform.
Previously, any events tagged to the event categories of 'Career Fair', 'Workshop' and 'Information Session' in Symplicity could be imported into your uConnect platform.
Now with this update, you'll be able specify which types of career fairs, workshops, etc. you'd like to import and include more core event categories, such as the following:
Event Types |
Career Fair - Attendee Type |
Career Fair - Display in Events URL |
Career Fair - Event Type |
Career Fair - Video Fair |
Info Session - Allow RSVP |
Info Session - Approved |
Info Session - Information Session Type |
Workshop - Allow RSVP |
Workshop - Workshop Type |
If you also use any custom categories for events within your Symplicity instance, our team can take a look to see if we're able to import information tagged to those categories as well.
If there are certain event types or categories you wish to not pull over, we can omit specific ones from being brought into your uConnect system.
Additionally, any event category you wish to pull over from Symplicity can be mapped to content categories and Communities on the uConnect side. For example, if you want to pull in the event type/category from Symplicity titled 'Career Fair - Event Type', we can have events tagged to this in Symplicity feed into a 'Career Fairs' content category tag on the uConnect side. That way there, students can filter by the topic of career fairs on an event page to easily locate this content.
If you would also like all career fairs for example to appear on a Business Community on your platform, our team can update your integration to accomplish this, and pull certain kinds of events from Symplicity into related Communities.
In short, you now have much more flexibility to indicate what types of events you want to have feed into uConnect, and where you'd like these to display!
