    Happy Tuesday, Cvent Community! We've got a handful of great #Event(Flex) releases to share with you this week, as well as some #Passkey updates. Check them out below.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Event Management


    *New Flex Release* Flex-Passkey Enhancement: Users will now be redirected to the Cvent registration confirmation page after confirming their room bookings in Passkey.

    *New Flex Release* Regret Survey Weblink for Unknown Invitees: A new weblink for your regret survey is now available under Promotion & Communication > Weblinks. This allows you to collect responses from people who can't attend the event and weren't sent an invitation directly. The link can be shared on the event website, external sites, or wherever you need the link to live.

    *New Flex Release* Attendee List: You can now add the Attendee List widget to your event website, which you can customize to display both standard and custom contact fields. Along with the Attendee List, you can add the Attendee List Opt-Out widget to registration pages, allowing registrants to choose if they'd like to appear on the list and allow other attendees to be able to email them.

    *New Flex Release* Partial Registration: You can now enable partial registration, which allows your invitees to automatically save their registration progress and continue it at a later date. Partial registration has to be resumed within 7 days or the progress is lost.

    Modern Layout for Public Booking Site:
    The Modern Layout is now available to all Passkey customers. This layout offers clean and consistent styling across the entire booking flow, "hero image" support for the splash page, improved usability for the reservation editing workflow, and improved accessibility.

    "Back to registration" support for Attendee Booking Website: We added new functionality to certain Passkey APIs so Attendee Booking Website users can be automatically redirected to another site after they complete their reservation. For example, we can now return attendees to their registration site where both registration and hotel reservation details can be viewed together. The below diagram shows the basic flow.

    New and Updated Hotel Welcome Emails: New Hotel Welcome Emails have been added with clearer instructions under Libraries → Communications. The default audience is "Integrated" hotels, or hotels that currently use Passkey. We also updated the general notification email, the reservation notification email, and the Hotel Welcome Email for non-integrated hotels. These emails will also be available for Citywide events. To use the new emails, you need to either add a new email campaign or copy the new email content into your existing emails. As a best practice, you should update their email content in the Library. That way, all future email campaigns will include the updated wording.

    New Custom Message on Guest Deck: Under Event Website → Customize Messages, you can now write a special message (up to 100 characters, translatable) that appears on the Modern Layout guest deck. The default message is "Thank you for booking!", but this can be customized.
