Certain 7.1 Release Notes Header Image

Certain 7.1 further extends the capabilities of Certain Digital by offering event marketers and organizers complete insight and by boosting attendee engagement during digital events.

  • Complete insight from digital events: automatically capture rich engagement data from Zoom and ON24 and share it across Certain and the Martech stack - did a participant attend live and on-demand? How long did she stay? How many questions did she ask? Did she participate in a poll?

  • Boost engagement - live & on-demand: transform Certain’s Session Catalog into a powerful Digital Hub with enhanced time zone support, private/public sessions, enhanced filtering and more. Use it in conjunction with completely refreshed Touchpoint web Attendee Engagement app to fully engage attendees without app download. 

Certain Digital/Signal

A major new capability of this release is to expose in Certain and make available to your marketing technology stack invaluable attendee engagement data captured by both Zoom and ON24. How engaged were your attendees? What percentage attended Live vs. On-Demand? Did they ask any questions or download any resources? How long did they watch? Answer these questions and more.

Never leave the Certain Platform to create your Zoom or ON24 webinar or meeting! We are excited to announce that we now offer the ability to create your webinars and meetings directly from Certain. Just select the presentation type (live audio and video or On-Demand) and the host(s). Note that this is in addition to linking an existing webinar/meeting, which was released in Certain 7.0. 
 

Touchpoint Web App 

The Touchpoint app has always been about creating engaging experiences for your users. With the latest release we have rebuilt the web application UI from the ground up. From desktop, to tablet, to phones, the HTML 5 app now gives you a sleek and modern interface to engage your attendees across all your webinars, meetings, events, and conferences. 
 

Speaker & Session Management 

 
The following is a list of Speaker & Session Management related enhancements that were introduced in 7.0.x patch releases over the last few months. If you haven't already, check them out. They are pretty slick!

  • An option to 'Download Calendar' has been added to the 'My Schedule' view, allowing registrants to download .ics files for each of their registered sessions so they can be added to their digital calendars.
