Audience contacts

When an event is created in inwink, it must be created in an audience. The users in the audience's events and communities back office will be found in the audience's contact grid in the customer back office, if they have a valid email address.

Each audience has its own grid where you can consult the list of contacts, as with their status and diverse user information.

Please note: changing a field for a participant/member (existing field in the audience) will apply in the contact information in the audience.
However, a change to a contact's field in the audience will not be applied to the participant information in the event and community back offices.


Important:

  1. For data privacy reasons, neither event organizers nor the inwink technical team can access passwords created by login screen users.

  2. Consult the online help on grid setup to understand its general operation in inwink.

The contacts grid

To access to the contact grid of an audience, go to the Client Back Office and click on the appropriate audience > Contacts

1. Information in the contact grid

In the contact grid, you will find all the emails of the persons registered for the events associated with this audience, whether they have created an account.

The following columns are available in the grid:

  • Contact information : firstname, lastname, email, company, job. You can add central fields in the grid.

  • Company : the company to which the contact is attached.

  • Events and communities : the number of events and communities in which the contact is a participant/member, and the list.

  • Account confirmed : if the circle is grey, the account has not been confirmed by the user. If green, it has been confirmed.

  • Account locked : if the circle is green, the account is locked because the user entered the wrong password too many times. If the circle is grey, the account is not locked.
    You can also add the column "number of attempts" (indicates the number of times the user tried to login and gave a wrong password) and the lock end date columns (the day from which to account will automatically be unlocked.)

  • Creation date : date of the creation of the account

  • You can also add to the grid the mail marketing optin date and to add central fields that you have created at the audience level.
