Build Event Registration Forms Faster with updated Form Builder

In our last update, we have added a few important features to the platform viz. Option to add Multi-level drop down navigation menus, Abstract Rating filter to filter abstracts by its overall average rating, and some more.

But amongst all the updates, the most important was the Drag and Drop feature in Form builder, Page Labels and Widgets Manager. Earlier, to order items, one has to enter synchronised numbers so an item numbered 1 comes before the item numbered 2, and item numbered 6 should go after item numbered 5, and so on. That, we figured, involved too much Mathematics and was taking a lot of toll on an already busy brain! Thus, Drag & Drop feature.

This, hopefully, will make it much easier now to arrange fields, pages and widgets. Give it a try and let us know if you love the new updates!

For most event organizers, it is a very common approach to set up an event management platform using a smorgasbord of tools viz. WordPress, Eventbrite, OpenCFP and Mailchimp. But what would it be like if you could have used these tools from a single platform, all fully integrated with one another, making for a seamless data flow among each other. This is exactly the pain point Dryfta event platform solves.

The more you know your visitors, the more you understand your prospective attendees, and make decisions accordingly like which prospects need more targeting and re-targeting, for which countries should you increase your ad spending for your event, and other similarly important decisions. These decisions are what is going to make your event a success.

 

Break your Long Event Registration Form into Multiple Short Forms

A long & lengthy event registration form is a major put off and deters attendees from signing up for the event. One way is to refrain from asking too much information upfront during the online event registration. Try limiting your event registration form to basic information only viz. Name, Email address etc. You can always ask them to update their profile later from their dashboard once they have signed up.

However, if it is imperative to collect all the information during the registration process, then you can break the form into multiple pages. This basically means breaking a large form into multiple small forms, connected by next & previous buttons, making it easy for attendees to fill up the form with the required information and proceed to the next form and eventually complete the event registration process.

Dryfta has a Pagebreak button to break your form into multiple pages with option to define form headings and buttons to move back and forth when filling the registration form.

This button is also available for other forms including abstract submission and review submission forms, making it easy for authors and reviewers to submit their papers and reviews respectively. Give it a try!

 

What sets Dryfta apart from other event platforms?

The one unique difference between Dryfta and every other event platform is that Dryfta is built with integration in mind. Over the next few months, we are planning to integrate Dryfta with widely used apps including Salesforce, Mailchimp, WordPress and Quickbooks. We completely understand that the future is about collaboration between platforms. We’ll keep you posted!
