This is the fastest possible method to calculate your return on investment. Please note that this, however, does not include other more important event attributes viz. leads generated, returning attendees, meetings requested, marketing campaigns, attendee engagement, customer satisfaction, Press mentions, social network influence etc.

Using Dryfta API, you can create your own apps and integrate Dryfta platform with third-party web applications. However, most customers are not able to make use of APIs due to lack of developer resources and funds. Zapier makes it very easy for customers without technical know-how to use Dryfta API for automating workflows between Dryfta and third-party apps.

What is Zapier
Zapier is a task automation tool which connects Dryfta with other web apps eg. Hubspot, Salesforce, Mailchimp etc and automates workflows between them. With Zapier, your data is moved between your apps automatically so you and your team can focus on more important work. For example, to move contacts from Dryfta to Hubspot CRM, simply connect these apps using Zapier’s triggers & actions and it would automatically sync data between Dryfta & Hubspot every 15 minutes.

How to Submit Abstracts using an Abstract Management Software

One of the reasons Dryfta event platform is used by universities, non-profits and corporate is the platform’s ability to collect abstract and paper submissions and assign them to reviewers, apart from other features that it is capable of.

This blog post quickly explains how authors can submit abstracts and manage submitted abstracts.

To access the abstract submission site, one needs to log in using email and password. To access the abstract submission site if one doesn’t have login credentials, author has to create an account first. After creating an account, go to the abstract submissions login page, and enter the login credentials (email and password) to log in to the abstract system.

Once logged-in, go to My Abstracts page and click on Submit Abstract button to submit an abstract or paper. To edit an existing abstract, click on the name of the abstract which you want to edit.

Authors can revise abstracts up until the last date for abstract submission. After that, authors can view abstracts but they cannot make changes. Admin has the option to open abstract editing after submission date for those abstracts which have been accepted.
