SocialPoint can receive data from your Event App to register and log in players via an API. Here's a general guide on how to test your Event App for possible integration with our gamification platform.
Cvent and Swapcard
If you're using Cvent or Swapcard, we have fully tested and ran multiple events on these platforms. You can see our guides on how to integrate them in the following links:
Dynamic links or web content buttons
Event Platforms usually have a way for players to click on a button, card, or icon to send their data over to a third-party website and fill out their data automatically.
Data tags
Data Tags are used to gather information from the Event Platform and send it to SocialPoint
They usually contain fields like First Name, Last Name, Email, Company, etc.
Format can include characters like {}, [], (), and ''.
Here are some examples:
Once you find them, use them on our test URL
Testing with a URL
We have a test URL that you can use with your data tags to see if it pulls player data from our Event App into our platform. Here's how to use it:
Copy our link into the URL area for your dynamic web content button, card, or link:
https://app.socialpoint.io/apps/participation/digital-passport/?firstName={first_name}&lastName={last_name}&email={email}&pin=sp2023&embedCode=6078fc5bae22c380054b7b1fb8c146ca
Replace our data tags (in bold) with your platform's data tags. Make sure you have AT LEAST: First Name, Last Name, Email
Save your changes and run a quick test
You should be able to see a game screen with multiple challenges on a list
If you run into an error, click the orange chat bubble and send us a message. We'll go over your data requirements and make sure it's all set up correctly.
