On the Settings page of your new event, you will find three tabs; event information, features & integrations, and dialogues.
Event Information
In this section you can manage the basic information surrounding your event. Include a name, date, location, welcome text, advertisements, and more. On this tab you will also be able to manage your event's privacy settings and generate a QR code for easily attendee access.
Features & Integrations
This is where you can turn menu items for your event on or off. If you turn them off, they will no longer appear within the mobile app or virtual venue. You may also integrate your event with Eventbrite for alternative registration ticketing features.
Dialogues
Select and customize the branding and colors for your Dialogue responses. You can choose your own color palette for each event or select one of our pre-design themes.
Invite your collegaues!
Once logged into the administrative panel, select Users in the menu to the left. While under the Administrators tab, invite your colleagues or partners to collaborate with you on your next event by selecting from the admin options.
There are three administrator types:
Application administrator - This user can create, view, and manage all events and administrators on your account. This is the highest access level.
Department administrator - This user can create, view, and manage events within their own department. They can also add and manage event administrators within their own department.
Event administrator - This user can view and manage events assigned to them. An app or department admin first needs to create the event before it can be assigned to this user to manage. This is the lowest access level.
Invited admins will receive an email from no-reply@ventla.io with a link to finalize the account creation process. Remember to let newly created Admins know to check their spam folder, in case they cannot find the email with the link.
Our password security is strict and if the password is not accepted, an error message stating what needs to be removed from the password with appear. If you're having difficulties creating a highly secure password, we recommend using a password generator website, such as: https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator
Get started with Ventla!
In order to create and build events within your platform in Ventla, you need an administrator account.
If you already have an account, go to https://manage.ventla.io and login with your username (usually your email address - all lowercase) and your previously set password.
If you do not yet have an account, contact your Ventla representative or a ConferenceDirect colleague with admin access. ConferenceDirect admins have the ability to create event level, department level, or app level admin accounts.
If you cannot remember your previously set password, simply select "Forgot Password" and follow the steps to reset your account password.
Our password security is strict and if your password is not accepted, you will see an error message stating what needs to be adjusted within the password. If you're having difficulties creating a highly secure password, we recommend using a password generator website, such as: https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator
Once signed in, you will be redirected your admin panel where you will see all your active and archived events.
Creating a new event in Ventla is easy!
Navigate to the Events tab on the left hand menu. On this page you will see listed all of your Active events. To view Archived events, you can simply select that subtab on the page.
To create a new event on the Active Events tab, select the blue "Create new event" button at the top.
Once you select the button, you will be redirected to the Event Settings Page where you will be able to structure the information surrounding your event. See Manage Event Settings for next steps.
Learn about new features and improvements!
Our Admin interface has received a facelift! This is the first step in an ongoing effort to make sections and functionalities clearer and easier for you as an administrator. The most notable improvement? Admin is now optimized for mobile, making it simpler to manage tasks on the go—whether it’s publishing a push notification or updating an agenda item.
Note, all functionality remains the same!
New & Improved Placeholder Email Templates: The Invite feature now includes updated email text templates to make your Invite emails better than ever. Learn more here.
Participant Verification Made Easy: Department and Event Admins can now look up the unique 4-digit verification codes for all participants under "Manage Access" in the "Verification Code Lookup" section. Learn more here.
Instruction Templates: Find event access instruction templates in the Visibility section on your event’s Settings page. You can find the same here.
Track App Downloads: Administrators can now view the number of participants who have downloaded the app directly in the Participants list.
Streamlined App Access for Ventla Container-App Users: All admins can now see the "Verification lookup" tab under "Manage access" in the left menu upon logging in to admin. Remember, the best way to share access is still the "Event Access" link found on the event’s Settings page.
Feel free to send any feedback—good or bad—to feedback@ventla.io!
Experiencing issues with the new Admin? Try clearing your cache by following the instructions here.
While the functionality is more or less the same, we'll be updating the knowledge base and all training material to reflect the new design over the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions, reach out to support@ventla.io.
We are delighted to introduce our new Check-in and Scanning App! It's designed to make your event entry process easier and smoother for both organizers and attendees. Whether you’re handling event access or tracking attendance, this tool helps you do it quickly and easily.
Working together at a recent client event, we used these tools to scan and check 1800+ people in to a room with 15 scanners in under 20 minutes.
Here’s what you can expect:
Fast and Secure Check-ins: Scan attendee QR codes quickly with our Scanning App, reducing wait times and boosting security.
Real-time Attendance Tracking: See who has checked in to your event or sessions in real time from the Ventla admin portal.
Customizable Access Control: Set up access permissions for different attendee types, ensuring only authorized guests enter specific areas or sessions.
Free: This feature is included with your subscription or single-event license at no extra cost.
How to use it:
Enable the attendee’s QR codes in Admin on Settings at the bottom of the Event information, look for "Participant QR/Ticket(s)".
Access the web-based scanning app at https://scan.ventla.io (we made this for web access so that it is even more accessible).
For more details, visit our Knowledge Base, where we provide a full walkthrough. (As you know, the Knowledge Base is always available from the Admin page where you can click the question mark in the top right corner).
Existing app admins and event admins can log on to the scanner with your usual login. The new admin role called "Check-in assistant” allows you to securely share access to the scanner without giving them full view into Admin for the event.
The scanner can check in attendees to the event when they have tickets assigned to them. And you can check people in to individual Program sessions too - think break-out sessions and activities etc.
Looking ahead, we have even more exciting updates planned for the next couple of months including group chats, a facelift to admin and more. Update to the latest version of the app from the Google and Apple app stores to enjoy this update!
For white-labeled apps, the release might take a little while time to roll out to your environment.
Your feedback is important; let us know what you think of the updates and share your ideas for future enhancements. Reach out to us directly, contact your regular Ventla representative, or email feedback@ventla.io. Have more questions? Contact your Customer Success representative or support@ventla.io.

The summer is in full swing but the developments at Ventla never rest.
Ventla now integrates with Zapier which gives access to integration with thousands of apps to further automate tasks and free up time.
With this new integration, you can jumpstart your marketing and customer engagement as soon as attendees sign up for your event, allowing for seamless automation and immediate results.
Zapier acts as a hub between connected applications, allowing them to communicate and exchange information seamlessly.
Within Zapier, you can create automated bots, known as Zaps. These Zaps are configured to react to a trigger and then perform a specific action.
This means you can connect your Marketing and CRM systems, such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, and many more. Once the data is in your system, you can continue engaging with attendees through your activations and integrate them with other statistics.
Read more on this article in our Knowledge Base.
We are eager to build and explore further on this integration together with you. Please get in touch to activate this integration for your app or suggest new triggers that will benefit your business.
Reach out to us at support@ventla.io or directly to your usual contact at Ventla.

We are excited to share that we have released a highly anticipated feature to the Ventla platform – the ability to include paid tickets directly through the registration module.
A brief mention about two small but important updates:
A new Custom Email template is now available in the Invitation Manager.
This is just what it sounds like; the content is custom and you can send it to the people you select from the list of invitees.
We think this will be handy for the times where you want to send emails ad hoc and neither of the other templates (invitation, reminder) are suitable.
Oh - and this also gives you a view of an update to the email templates where we have added the app logo at the top left and the app's main color in the header and thin footer.
On Dialogue posts you can now download the result graphs to an image as in the below screenshot.
Now for the tickets. This is the first and biggest part in a multi-release plan to enable you to sell tickets to your events through Ventla and we have some more add-on updates in the works which will be rolled out during the summer.
With this update, you will now be able to:
Sell Tickets Directly: Streamline your ticketing process by managing ticket sales within Ventla.
Set Flexible Pricing: Create different pricing tiers for early birds, VIPs, and other attendee categories.
Use Promotion Codes: Offer discounts with customizable promotion codes to boost ticket sales.
Secure Transactions: Ensure secure payments with our trusted payment gateways.
Track Sales: Monitor ticket sales and attendee data in real-time through our comprehensive dashboard.

Today marks a milestone for us, as we unveil the latest addition to the Ventla family:
Event Webpages
Designed to be the perfect prelude to your event, this feature sets the stage, lay out expectations and create the ambiance for what's to come. This is where you display all of your event's agenda, speakers and sponsors; or just a taste of it. It's up to you!
Here’s a snapshot of what you can anticipate:
Theme Customization: Upload your signature hero image and tailor the colors of your text, background, and buttons to match your event’s aesthetic.
Modular Design: Display only what you’ve crafted within the Ventla admin. Choose to showcase or conceal entire sections, sessions, or items.
No coding required: Every part of your webpage is configurable via the Ventla admin portal.
Free: This enhancement is included with your subscription or single-event license at no additional charge.
The feature is available now! Enable it under the Event’s Features & Integrations, then personalize to your taste from the module’s settings page.
For a deep dive into its capabilities, visit our Knowledge Base, where Izabell provides a comprehensive walkthrough. Click this link to watch the video.
Hello all and happy January!
Our team has been busy all winter building new functionalities, some of which might have a profound impact on the way we use Ventla.
More details of the updates are available in our Knowledge Base which you can reach by logging on to our Admin system and clicking the question mark top right. Or click directly on the links below where you can see Izabell guiding us through the how to's.
You can now import all your program content from our Excel template, making it easier to copy the content from your run sheet or production schedule and potentially saving hours compared with clicking through the creation of each session. The import template holds all information of the sessions, so the only thing you need to do after an import is choose the icon to display.
This enables you to link from a Dialogue post to an Information or Program item, much like how we have been able to link between information/program. It means you can send information posts saying something like “Our CEO video welcome to next week’s conference, and you won’t believe what she has planned for us. Click below to watch” instead of having to give guidance on how to find the content through the menu.
This could be one of those small things that will make a big difference on what we can do with Ventla. The update is two-fold;
1) it means we can lock the menu to one language instead of automatically translated to the currently 8 languages that we support.
2) It also means that when you lock it, you can also change the names on the menu.
This means you have free access to create your own menu by using the functionalities of modules. The only limitation is that the name needs to be less than 20 characters. Below are some ideas that we cooked up in the Ventla team, what will you make of it?
Make sure to update to the latest version available from the Google and Apple app stores to enjoy this exciting update!
White labeled apps – If your app is published separately in the app stores as a white label app, it will take some time before the release is rolled out to your environment.

Dear Ventla Admin,
Last week, we rolled out two new feature upgrades to improve the way you communicate with your attendees.
Looking for more responses to your polls? You can now send a reminder to target those attendees who have not yet responded!
The reminder will always be sent with a push notification, even if the tick box is not ticked in the original post
Send a total of three (3) reminders on the same poll
Suitable for single interaction posts in Dialogue, but not for a full Survey
To send a reminder, head over to the "Results" tab of the poll and click the link just below the graph to “Send a reminder to respond.”
Now you can reset the check-in status of your attendees! Use this when you wish to check-in attendees each day over a multiple-day conference or as part of a competition - i.e. the first 10 people to find the hidden QR code and check-in will win a prize.
The status history is not saved, so once you reset the previous check-in information is gone. To retain data, export the participants before resetting.
Make sure you allow 15-20 minutes after reset to ask attendees for their next check-in.
Check-in times are available on export
If you have the Check-In feature enabled for your event, the option is available under the Participants tab. Select one or more participants and click "Clear check-in(s)."
We are planning on developing a more advanced version of this feature within the next year, but are excited to share this first portion with you now!
These features are already available for both the Ventla container app and custom white-label apps!
Have ideas or questions? Please get in touch with your dedicated Customer Success representative, or with our ever-helpful support@ventla.io

Dear Ventla Admin,
It’s the small details that make all the difference!
We are happy to extend the new card design to the Login and Verification screens that attendees see upon first entering the app.
The greatest improvement is in the overall user experience. Here are some of the highlights:
• The clickable button is visible above the onscreen keyboard
• The active buttons are more clearly distinguished from the surroundings
• Additional branding options with an added background image
First impressions are important – with this new design, you can make the best one with your attendees!
If you’d like to learn more or update the graphics on your account, let us know! Please get in touch with your dedicated Customer Success contact, or with our ever helpful support@ventla.io
Make sure to update to the latest version available from the Google and Apple app stores to enjoy this exciting update!

Dear Ventla Admin,
As eagerly anticipated, the final update in the Dialogue overhaul is ready to be released! This last update will focus on the result screens on your dialogue items. We are very proud to introduce the ability to add your own branding and style to the poll results. Plus, the new settings will give you even greater control of what participants will see.
Dialogue Settings
You’ll find this new settings tab within the main settings section of your event. You can create up to 8 themes for use across all your events in your app. This will give plenty of room to maneuver and prepare different looks for your events, travel agendas, and other activations. Each theme can be configured with:
Your logo
A background photo or single color
Font color
Theme colors
Choice to display themes in mobile app and/or web app.
Poll Settings
Each poll now has a range of display styles, depending on the type of question and on the range of answers. All these options will follow the theme that you set in the Dialogue settings.
Faster Updates and Result Screen Toolbar
In the Admin panel, you may navigate to the Results tab of your poll to view live responses on a results screen. We have spent a lot of effort to improve the speed and responsiveness of graph changes when your attendees vote.
We’ve also made it simpler for you to change how you display results to your attendees by designing a Result Screen Toolbar. Switch between chart types, view display results in percentages or actual vote numbers, project in list view or word cloud, or choose to share results with attendees.
We are ecstatic to finally share this with you! To learn how you can use all the new features in your next event, reach out to your Client Success Representative and let them know you would like a demo!
White labeled apps – If your app is published separately in the app stores as a white label app, it will take some time before the release is rolled out to your environment. If you have any questions about this, please contact your Client Success Manager.

Dear Ventla Admin,
Our product team has been hard at work updating the user interface of the Dialogue section in the mobile app and web platform, and we are excited to announce the release of the second planned update. Available today, July 11th, this update to Ventla will include:
A “card” design to create a tighter layout
Images are shown in full, with different aspect ratios
Clearer indication for attendees on which Dialogue items they have viewed
Animated transitions that flip the card over to view the results page
Real-time updates to polls and results for faster sharing of data
We are excited to see these updates shared with you and are already hard at work to delve into part three of this Dialogue overhaul. The coming updates will be focused on the results screen, providing a refreshing look and behavior. We can’t wait to share it with you!
White labeled apps – If your app is published separately in the app stores as a white label app, it will take some time before the release is rolled out to your environment. If you have any questions about this, please contact your Client Success Manager.

Dear Ventla Admin,
On Friday, February 24th, we are happy to announce that we will roll out a new release to the Ventla platform. This is the first of three planned updates which will focus on our Dialogue section. These updates will have a significant impact on participant engagement; bringing your communities closer to you, and closer to each other.
Unpublish
You will now have the option to unpublish an item from the Dialogue section without deleting it! Meaning you will retain the data and you can choose to re-publish the Dialogue item at any time. This new feature will allow you to collect more feedback over time to maximize audience response.
Time of Publishing
Previously, push notifications in the Dialogue section have not shown a timestamp in the mobile and web app – making it difficult for your audience to understand a message that says, "Gather in the lobby in 15 minutes." With this update, notifications will show a timestamp, making it clearer for attendees to know how much time they have left before your important events begin!
Show Correct Answer
When creating a quiz with a "pick the correct answer" type question, participants currently do not have a way to verify if they have answered correctly. After this update, they will! As an administrator, you can choose to provide them with instant feedback on whether they have answered correctly or not along with a correct answer indicator. This is great for training and professional development to help participants identify areas of improvement.
Coming Soon!
This upcoming release is just the first step in renewing the Dialogue section. In the coming months, further updates will feature new branding options and themes for customizing your real-time audience responses. This will include custom logos, color palettes, background images and more. Additionally, there will be presenter controls for easily displaying or projecting real-time Dialogue results.
White labeled apps – If your app is published separately in the app stores as a white label app, it will take some time before the release is rolled out to your environment. If you have any questions about this, please contact your Client Success Manager.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at support@ventla.io.

Below is a summary of previous releases. Click and expand to learn more.
From the Ventla team
We’re thrilled to introduce Ventla GPT—a new tool to help you design events that connect, inspire, and engage. Whether you're planning a casual team session or a large conference, Ventla GPT provides tailored guidance to make your gatherings more purposeful and impactful. Ready to see how it can elevate your next event? Access it here: https://ventla.io/ventlagpt. If you have any feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you at feedback@ventla.io.
Please note: Ventla GPT is continuously learning, and while it’s designed to help, it may sometimes make mistakes. We’re always working to improve it and appreciate your understanding. Contact the Ventla team for more details or read the release notes here.
Under "Features & Integrations" on your event Settings page we recommend disabling any menu items and features you do not intend to use for this event. This is to avoid the possibility of whole sections of your app appearing empty.
Select the checkbox to enable/disable, then save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Basic Information
Event Icon (1024 px by 1024px in PNG format)
Name (maximum 120 characters)
Department (optional)
A welcome text to greet your participants
Please provide a start and end date for your event. If you have an "evergreen" style event, please contact your Ventla representative to learn how to manage this feature.
When setting your event time zone, make sure to select the time zone of the event venue or the standard time zone for your virtual event. Choosing the wrong time zone could effect the start times of specific program items on your agenda as well as scheduled notifications.
Scrolling down the page, decide on your event visibility. There are three options:
Public - The event is available to anyone accessing the platform on the "Select an event" page. This means that anyone with access to your app will see this event appear on their list.
Code - Participants are required to enter the code on the "Select an event" page before authorized access. This code can be included within your access link - see below for further information.
Require tickets - You, the administrator, decide which registered email addresses should be given authorized access. This is done by assigning your participants a ticket in the Participants section of the event.
To simplify the event entry process for your attendees, you can create a direct access link.
To do so, select the Code option for Visibility. You can choose to create your own code or use our built-in code generator. Check the box to "include code in the link" and simply copy the link to share with your attendees.
For further ease of access, follow the above steps and select the QR code next to your link. A QR code will be generated for you which, once scanned, will direct your attendees straight into the event.
If the link and QR code are accessed on a mobile device, the attendee will first be taken to the AppStore or Google Play to download your app. After registering, they will be redirected straight into the event.
If the link is clicked on desktop, the event will automatically open up in the virtual venue.
You may select the format of this event to determine if it is in-person, virtual, hybrid, or unspecified. Enter an address for your event and choose whether you would like to display the location in a map for attendees.
Upload clickable advertisement banners. The banners will rotate on the Program, Information, and Dialogue sections of the event on both the mobile platform and virtual venue based on an algorithm to distribute them for equal visibilty.
Note the sizing requirements for correct rendering on all devices: The aspect ratio of your banner image should be 4:1 (width:height) and should not exceed 2 MB in size. Minimum dimensions should be 640px by 160px.
Features
In this tab of the settings menu, you can choose to activate or deactivate the sections within your mobile app and virtual venue. Simply select the checkmark for each section and remember to save your changes. Read more about each feature: Features Overview.
Ventla currently integrates with Eventbrite and Lyyti for additional registration features. To learn more about how those integrations work and ask about pricing, please contact your Ventla representative.
The Information section is a versatile feature. Create any general information that you want available to attendees such as speaker bios, vendor/exhibitor information, presentations, handouts, static venue maps, social media links, fully embedded web experiences, or sponsor information. You may choose to share this information item with the entire audience, or with specific groups.
When creating a new information item, we provide you with some pre-defined information types:
Speaker
Sponsor
PDF Document
Webpage
Social media
Other information
Information items can be categorized into folders for better structure and readability. Folders can be pinned to the side menu for easier access to important information.
Create your folder before assigning it to any of your Information items.
Select to make the Information item available to one or multiple participant groups.
Create your group before assigning it to any of your Information items.
You can upload a pre-recorded video (without captions) to your Information item. This could be a welcome video, sponsor video, or a 30-second speaker introduction.
Save your Information item first before uploading your video.
Depending on the Information type, there may be an option to link your Information item to a Participant profile or to a Program item.
We recommend linking related content to provide ease of access for your attendees.
The Program section is where you will input your event agenda. Select the button in the top right corner to create a new program item. There are many options to keep in mind when creating a new program item:
If you have multiple sessions taking place simultaneously or if you want to logically group sessions (ie. afternoon workshops), you may choose to assign them to certain tracks or breakouts.
Tracks need to be created in advance in order to assign them to a specific program item. Create a track by selecting "Manage tracks" before assigning any of your sessions to that track.
Categorize your program items into tags. If a tag is applied, your participants can choose to filter the program in their app by one or more tags. Tags can be created in advance or ad hoc.
Set your program items to be available to all or specific participant groups. Only attendees belonging to that group will see that program item.
You will need to create and assign your participants to groups before assigning your program items.
Add individual YouTube/Vimeo/HLS/RTMP/Ventla Live/Zoom or other conferencing tool streams to a program item. You can also upload a pre-recorded video (up to 10 minutes for free.)
Have your participants evaluate one or more program items. Add either a star-rating or text-response. Apply a set of evaluation questions to the entire program or to specific sessions. Export the results to MS Excel or email.
Attach text responses or polls to your program item(s). Use this feature to ask questions specific to an individual session, workshop, or breakout for feedback from the audience; such as "submit your questions to the speaker."
Once your question has been created, you can choose to share the results link with a session facilitator without giving them direct administrative access. This will bring the results up on the presentation screen. Display these results to your audience as either a list or bar chart.
The Activity Feed is where your attendees can share and view eachothers thoughts throughout the event. Think of this as an internal social media feed, where attendees can post text or images, like, and comment on other attendees’ posts.
In the Admin panel you can browse, edit, or delete any posts or comments made by an attendee. You may also choose to promote an attendee image to the .
Pair the Activity Feed with our in-app Gamification features to encourage attendees to network with one another. Encourage challenges, selfie competitions, and more while assigning points to the attendees that participate the most.
While the section is for general information about the event, "My Information" is reserved for any attendee-specific information that you are managing. This could be flight numbers, hotel room numbers, group numbers, employee ID number, etc.
"My Information" is clearly presented in a list format, with a bold heading and a body in the corresponding menu section.
Note that My Information is connected using the participant email.
The focus of the Dialogue section is to boost your event interactivity. Send push notifications, information message, conduct polls, have the audience submit questions to the stage, or send out a surveys.
Remember to select "Send push on publish" in order for your dialogue item or survey to be sent out with a push notification. If you do not select the checkbox, the item will be published silently to your Dialogue section of the platform.
Select the "create new item" button at the top right to create an item, and choose one of the dialogue types available.
For each item there may be a few additional settings available:
Only allow participants to respond once
Show answers in app

Attendees can also press the plus icon at the top right of participant profile to add that person to their phone contact list.
The Participants section is where you can browse and manage all your event participants. Participants can be added to the event in a few ways:
By the Administrator through import.
By Administrator by adding one-by-one.
By Ventla Invite, when an invitee registers for the event.
By the participant themselves upon activating the event and completing their attendee profile.
Sycning an Eventbrite registration list.
Profile details are automatically synced between the Admin panel and the attendee platform when the same email address is used. If attendees use a different email to enter the event, Ventla will create a new participant listing for this attendee.
If profile details for a participant already exist in the Admin panel, but do not exist in your import file, you may be asked whether you want to override existing information in Ventla with empty fields or data from the import file.
When using the import template, do not change or update the headings in Row 1. Add the Participant details starting from Row 2. First name, Last name and Email are mandatory fields. Leave any fields which you do not intend to use empty.
The Participants section is also where you can import and manage your attendees "My Information" details.
Divide your participants into segments using the Groups feature. Manually or automatically create and assign your participants into groups.
In the past, audience segmentation for events was limited to choices made before the event using Ventla Invite customer questions. Now, we’re enhancing this by allowing attendees to form groups during the event through selections made by them. Additionally, you can utilize the PUBLISH LATER feature to publish your updates at your convenience.
Through Ventla Invite
You can organize attendees into groups based on their responses prior to the event by using Ventla Invite. Simply go to Registration questions, select a single-choice question, and check the option to “Divide participants into groups based on their responses”.
Note: You can use “Group Prefix” to bifurcate the similar response from two different questions
Through Group Selection
Once the event begins, the admin can segment participants into groups based on their responses by navigating to Participants, then Groups, and selecting Manage Group Selection.

We are testing out something new! Work in progress...
We on the customer team are constantly seeking new ways to help our customers get started with the platform as quickly and easily as possible. We are currently testing and soft-launching 'interactive' tutorials, where, instead of watching a video, you can follow along and navigate the admin panel. This is a work in progress and is not yet finalized. Below, we've published a couple of examples for 'testing.' You're welcome to try them out, and we would love to hear your feedback! At Ventla, we appreciate and gladly accept all types of feedback, whether positive or constructive.
Thank you in advance!
Click in the upper right corner of each tutorial to enlarge (recommended for best experience).

The Rules we have created in Ventla are designed to encourage attendees to interact within the app and gamify the experience in a constructive way. While you cannot change or add any of these in-app rules, they were designed to be paired with additional gamified experiences. We have provided an example below.
To view and manage your attendee leaderboard, access the Leaderboard tab in the Admin panel’s Gamification section. You can view your entire leaderboard and clear the points to reset your gamification opportunities.
For multi-day events, you may consider clearing the leaderboard at the end of each day to give other attendees an opportunity to win. If you do, be sure to copy your leaderboard rankings before clearing them.
Ventla customers have gotten extremely creative with gamifying their experiences through networking competitions, selfie competitions, scavenger hunts, vendor competitions, and more. If you would like to learn more about using Gamification in your event, contact us.
The push notification feature is one of the key ways of directing attendees through the event. Sometimes, attendees will forget to "allow notifications" from the app when they download it to their phone. If this occurs and attendees are not receiving push notifications, there are a few ways to proceed:
Have the attendee open the Ventla app on their device
Open the event
Select the menu icon in the top left corner
Swipe down to the Settings tab
Enable the toggle for "Allow push notifications from this event"
Open the Settings app on the attendee's phone
Swipe down to select Notifications
From here you either will need to select the Ventla app or select "App notifications" to locate the Ventla app amongst their list of apps
Enable the toggle for notifications
Because the "My Information" details are uploaded and linked to the attendees' emails, it is essential that they join the mobile app or virtual venue with that same email.
When attendees join using a secondary email address, they may find that they cannot access the "My Information" details that are vital to them.
We recommend that you identify the email address that the attendee information was uploaded with, and ask them to re-register for the event using this email.
The standard application license is considered a "Container App." A container app is built and hosted within the Ventla App. Each individual licensee has a unique identifier which allows them to have a branded experience within the Ventla App.
An additional feature that we support, is converting the standard license into a White-Label application. With this license, the client will have their own separate application submitted to the App Store and Google Play Store.
The in-app experience is exactly the same, with only two main differences:
Instead of downloading "Ventla" in the app store, the attendee will download your branded app
On the Home screen of your phone, you will see your icon instead of Ventla's icon
The client will need an Apple Developer's License (Apple charges a fee for this)
Ventla will need to be added to the Apple Developer's License
Delivery of the app will take slightly longer
Updates may take longer to be released to white-label apps
Clients will need to stay current on accepting Apple's policies
This message applies only to those who have their own "White label" app published in both the App Store and Google Play. It does not affect those using Ventla’s standard app (our "container solution") directly from the store.
Dear Customer,
Until now, our customers’ iOS/iPhone apps have been hosted under their own Apple accounts, while the Android versions continued to be published via Ventla’s Google Play account. We initially chose this approach because Apple’s publishing process has historically been more complicated, and this arrangement helped in not complicating things further.
However, as Google’s requirements have grown more involved (while still remaining simpler than Apple’s), it has become clear that hosting your app under your own Google Play account offers significant advantages. Not only will it streamline the process moving forward, but it will also provide more flexibility and opportunities for your organization.
This change brings several positive benefits:
Clearer Branding: Your app will appear under your own organization’s name in the Google Play Store, strengthening your brand presence and making it easier for users to recognize it as uniquely yours.
Reduced Risk: Managing your app under your own account helps isolate any potential issues, ensuring other customers’ apps remain unaffected—this keeps your app environment more secure and stable.
Enhanced Marketing Opportunities: With your own Google Play account, you can explore new ways to promote and market your app. We’d be happy to discuss potential strategies to help you make the most of this opportunity.
What does this mean for you in practice? If your organisation already has a Google Play Developer account, great! We can easily transfer your app there. If not, setting up a new account is simple, and we’ll provide instructions shortly. You’ll just need to invite us as a user so we can continue assisting with updates and publishing.
Fortunately, managing a Google account is generally less cumbersome than managing an Apple account. Aside from the initial transfer (and for some, setting up a new account), this transition shouldn’t add to your workload—quite the opposite, it will ultimately give you more control and options.
Good to know: While Apple charges $99 per year for an account, Google only charges a one-time fee of $25, making it a cost-effective investment in your brand’s future.
We’re excited about this positive step forward and look forward to supporting you throughout the transition. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at jacob@ventla.io.
Kind regards, Jacob at Ventla

Ventla’s Gamification module allows you to gamify the attendee experience by assigning points to various actions or tasks within the Ventla environment; giving you the power to create fun and exciting challenges.
In Ventla’s admin panel, the Gamification section can be activated by going to the event’s Settings section and selecting the Fetaures & Integrations tab.
To activate and deactivate Gamification in your event, simply select the checkbox in the Gamification feature and press Save
Once activated, the Gamification tab will appear on the left side menu of your event. Within that tab, Gamification is split into two parts:
Rules - where you create and manage rules and points within the event
Leaderboard - where you view and manage the audience leaderboard
To learn more about how to make use of the Gamification feature, read here.
The social media feature will soon be depreciated. Therefore consider disabling the feature on your event Settings page, and instead put your social media links in the Information section.
You can create a pinned information folder called "Social media" and put all your links (as individual information items) there.
In the Social Media section, you can share links to your social networks with your audience. Linked items include:
X (Twitter)
A blog (RSS Feed)
In the mobile application and virtual venue, attendees can add their own text notes. The notes section can be found on the left side menu toward the bottom. Attendees can send any notes to themselves via email to save for future reference.
The Image Gallery is an opportunity for the administrators of the event to share approved images with the audience. These can be images taken by a professional photographer at the event, attendee promoted images from the Activity Feed, or company approved material.
Use the Image Gallery as an extra way to promote your sponsors. Upload their logos to provide them with even more visibility!
Ventla Check-In is designed to handle your attendee check-ins with ease, ensuring a seamless and organized process from beginning to end.
Our solution is divided into two integral components:
Check-In Application: A user-friendly interface that simplifies the check-in process, allowing you to efficiently manage and track attendees.
Participant Management: A robust system for checking participants into events and programs, helping you maintain order and enhance the overall experience.
The event check-in system is here to help you scan and check in participants quickly using their tickets. It keeps everything up-to-date in real time, which means managing your event will be a lot easier and more streamlined.
We've also introduced a new admin role called "Check-In Assistant." They are only allowed to check-in the participants in your event or program.
What to Expect: When someone books a ticket through Ventla Invite, they’ll get a unique QR code sent to their confirmation email ID. Each attendee gets their own QR code, even if they’ve bought multiple tickets.
How It Works: When you scan this QR code with the check-in app, it pulls up all the tickets associated with that attendee. So, you or the check-in assistant can check in each ticket separately.
Check-In Status: After scanning, you can see the participant’s check-in status under the "Participants" section in the app. The statuses are:
Not Checked-In (yellow)
Partially Checked-In (yellow and green)
Completely Checked-In (green)
For more detailed information: go to "Participants" and then "Manage Participants." Here, you can see specifics like the number of tickets, ticket names, who checked them in, and any remarks.
The Ventla Ticket Check-in app is your go-to tool for managing check-ins at events and sessions. It’s designed to make things run smoother with real-time updates and detailed reporting. You can access the app here: Ventla check-in.
When you log in, the app supports all the existing admin roles like app, department, and event admins. Plus, there’s a new role called “Check-In Assistant” who can also log in. Current admins can just use their usual Ventla Admin credentials.
After you log in, you’ll see the event selection page with three tabs:
Ongoing Events: Shows events that are starting within the next 24 hours and are active until they end.
Upcoming Events: Displays events starting more than 24 hours away but within the next 90 days.
Past Events: Lists events that ended in the last 30 days.
Once you select an event, you’ll move on to check in participants for that event or a program. You have two ways to check them in:
Scanning: If you scan a participant’s QR code and they have only one ticket, it gets checked in automatically. If they have multiple tickets, you’ll see all of them and need to choose which ones to check in manually.
Search Participants: If you prefer, you can manually find a participant by searching their name and check them in without scanning.
This feature lets you check in participants for a program by scanning their QR codes when they show up at a session. It’s super handy and makes the whole process a lot smoother.
Here’s how to get it set up:
First, go to the Program section and pick the program you want to set up.
Next, find the Session Check-In option and check the box that says “Enable check-in by scanning app.”
If you want to limit how many people can check in, you can also tick “Limit maximum check-ins” and enter the number you want.
Participant QR
Each participant will get their own QR code, which they can find under the menu section labelled “My QR.” If you want, you can change the name of this menu in the Admin settings.
Scanning App
Once you’ve set everything up, you’ll use the Ventla Scanning App to scan the QR codes. You can access the app here: Ventla check-in.
After the Session Check-in process
After participants are checked in, you’ll be able to see their details like name, email, company, and check-in time. Plus, if you need to keep track of everything, you can export this data to an Excel sheet for easier management.
Push notfications can be sent with any of your Dialogue items including surveys, multiple choice questions, information messages, scale statements, and more. Simply select the "Send push on publish" checkbox before publishing. When publishing a push notification you can choose to send it immediately or schedule it for a specific time.
Once you have published a push notifcation, you have the option of unpublishing it. There are a few things of note:
After unpublishing participants cannot access the dialogue item.
You can publish the dialogue item again.
Participant's responses will remain intact.
Notifications can be received on iOS (iPhone / iPad), Android, and in the Virtual Venue on desktop. Remind your participants to allow push notifications on their device.
We recommend using the Unpublish feature for Dialogue items that you use multiple times throughout your event, such as, "The session will start in 5 minutes," or "Breakfast starts at 7:00am." This enables you to send the message multiple times without having to recreate it each time.
Present your Session question or Dialogue item results live to your audience. The result type will vary depending on the question type that you have selected for that item. Polls can be displayed as bar graphs or pie charts, while text feedback results can be displayed in list view or as a word cloud.
Results will always open up in a browser window. Our recommended web browser is Google Chrome. Always ensure that your browser is current with the latest updates to ensure a smooth user experience.
Select the Program tab in the left side menu. Along the top banner you will see options for Program, Evaluations, and Session Questions. Select session questions. From here, you can find and distribute the link for all items. This link can be shared with the team responsible for presenting the results on the day of the event.
The link will list all your program items that have associated session questions. Select a program item, and the questions will show. Click the question to show the results live.
Remember to check the link expiration date before distributing the link. Ensure that the link will be active on the date of your event.
On the left side menu, orient to the Dialogue tab. Each Dialogue item has its own set of result links. All questions and their respective result links can be prepared ahead of your event.
Select the Dialogue item you wish to project results for.
Under your item Settings, decide on your "result type."
Click the Results tab and you'll be presented with a button to "view live responses." Select this button and the chart will open and update in real-time in a new browser tab.
The individual Dialogue result links can be distributed in advance of your event to the team resposible for projecing the results to the screen.
While survey results can generate a static image chart, they currently cannot be shared for real time projection.
We highly recommend including Dialogue results in your PowerPoint Presentation. Learn more here.
Recommended browser, for administrators and participants, is always Google Chrome. If not yet installed, you can install it here.

Integrate your event Dialogue items directly into a PowerPoint presentation. Using the Ventla for PowerPoint add-in allows you to display your results to a presentation screen and to manually publish dialogue items without needing to manage them from your Admin account.
Open MS PowerPoint
In the top menu, select Add-ins.
In the dropdown, click Get Add-ins.
Search for "Ventla for PowerPoint."
Select and insert the add-in into your presentation
Obtain the unique token for your dialogue item from your Ventla Admin. The token is generated at the bottom of each Dialogue item within the results tab. (See image below.)
Input the token into the presentation Add-in and press OK.
Your Dialogue item will now appear embedded within the presentation and update in real-time as attendees respond.
Speaker bios can be created in the Information section of the event. Before creating the content, create a folder to organize the information into.
Select the "Manage folders" button on the right. Add a folder and name it "Speakers." You may also choose to pin this item.
Once your folder has been created, select the button to "create new item" at the top right and select Information type "Speaker."
Add all details, upload a photo, and select your previously created "Speakers" folder.
Save your item.
Make it easy for your attendees to browse between related content by linking speaker bios to a participant profile and to relevant program items.
Once the bio has been saved, select it and scroll down to the heading "link speaker to participant profile." Here you can link the two. Underneath, you will find the heading to "linked program items." Select the link and scroll thorugh your created program items to link the relevant sessions to each speaker. Make sure to save after making your changes!
All 4-digit verification codes are automatically sent from no-reply@ventla.io. The code is used to verify ownership of the email entered.
For any attendee not receiving the code, there are a few things they can check for:
Make sure the correct email is entered with no typos.
Check the spam or junk folder.
Select the option to have Ventla manually send the code.
If you still cannot locate the code for the attendee, an Admin can look-up the code in the Admin panel.
Codes can only be looked-up by Application Administrators, the highest admin level.
In the Admin panel, select the Users section in the left side menu.
Select the "Verifcation code look-up" tab at the top.
Enter the email, and provide the participant with their code.

There are two possible reasons for the "invalid emails" error message:
The required headings on Row 1 have been altered, reordered, changed, or removed. Make sure to follow the instructions for each import template.
One or more emails have issues. Here are a few common mistakes:
Missing @ symbol
Missing domain-extenstion, such as ".com," ".se," ".nu," or ".co.uk"
Special chartacters are present, such as "å," "ä," or "ö"
Check your import file before trying again.

The Groups feature makes it possible to segment your audience based on their interests, registration responses, breakouts, teams, and more. Use this as a way to target your Program, Information, and individual Dialogue items to one or more participant groups.
Assigning groups enables the option for participants to only be able see information relevant and intended for them.
There are several ways you can create and assign participant to groups:
Have Ventla Invite automatically create and assign participants to groups based on the responses to a single choice custom question.
In the Admin panel, navigate to the Invite section on the left side menu.
Once in the registration manager, select the "registration questions" tab at the top.
Select "Add a question" under the custom questions heading.
Change your question type to "single choice (dropdown)."
Select the checkbox "divide participants into groups depending on the response."
Indicate your groups within the template for Participant import.
Download the Participant import template
In the last column of the import file, name the group(s) that each attendee should be segmented into.
For attendees belonging to multiple groups, separate each group by using a semicolon.
Manually create and assign groups within the Participants section of your Admin panel.
Navigate to the Participants section in the left side menu of your admin panel.
Select the Groups tab at the top.
Create all of your intended groups.
Navigate back to the Participants tab at the top.
Using the checkboxes, select the attendees you would like to assign to a given group.
Once selected, a button will appear to "assign to group."
From there, you can select the intended group and assign.
Watch this video to see how you can hide parts of the Program, Information and Dialogue.
When you input date and time data into MS Excel, there may be formatting specifications that can be mistranslated when uploaded into Ventla.
A common error can be seen in the example of "My Information" above.
To fix this error, you will need to format your MS Excel column to the "Text" category.
Select the column or cells where you'll be entering data.
Right-click and choose "Format Cells."
Under category to the left, select "Text."
Click "OK."
Going forward, Excel will treat the data as text and will no longer auto-format it as a date.
You will need to format the cells before entering your data. If you already have data entered in the template, we recommend:
Open a fresh copy of the template
Format the cells below the headings to "Text"
Copy and paste the data from your original template into this new version
The builder has three tabs:
Event Details
Registration Questions
Preview Page
You will need to publish your registration page from the Registration Page builder before you can move on to the Invitation manager. Invitees will not be able to view your page unless you have distributed the link to register. You may also choose to Unpublish and Update your page at any time.
There are two types of questions you can choose from:
Standard Questions
These will correspond with the standard Ventla profile fields (name, email, company, title, and phone number).
Use the checkboxes to decided whether non-mandatory fields should be included, required, or displayed within app on the Participant profile.
Custom Questions
Create custom text response, single choice, or multiple choice questions to include on your registration page. You may also create sub-questions (conditional logic) based on the responses.
Currently, custom questions cannot be re-sorted. Please be sure to create your questions in the order you wish for them to appear on the Registration page.
Optional Settings
For each question you create, you can choose to:
Make it a required field
Show the question and response in the "My Information" section of the app
Automatically divide participants into groups depending on their responses
The Group name will be the created based on the name of the response option that you create. We highly recommend avoiding "Yes" or "No" responses when using the Groups setting.
If you make updates to the registration page after people have already begun registering for the event, the Groups will not automatically update in the app. You will need to repeat your changes on the Participants section.
Once you have completed creating your registration questions and saved your progress, select the Preview Page tab. From here you will be able to toggle between mobile and web view to approve the design. Once you are satisfied with the look of the page, Publish it and move on to the Invitation Manager.

How to use the integrated Zoom application.
It's easy to add one or more Zoom links to your event in Ventla.
Like other streaming options, you can either place a Zoom link at the top of the event menu (ideal for the event's main stream) or within a specific program item (such as breakout sessions).
For the best experience, Zoom works best on a computer and is primarily suited for digital events. In the mobile app, participants are directed to the Zoom app for the optimal experience. In the web app (also known as the "virtual venue" or PWA), Zoom is fully integrated, allowing participants to join Zoom sessions directly within the Ventla platform while continuing to navigate and follow the event broadcast simultaneously.
Learn how you, as an administrator or organizer, can add Zoom links to your event in the administrator view.
In admin, inside your event, go to the Program section
Select your program item
Scroll down and select Conference software
Input your Zoom link
Select wether to embed or open the link in the native Zoom application (externally)
Once done, Save your program item at the top
There are several other areas where you can insert a Zoom link. Essentially, anywhere with space for longer text, such as the "Description" field in a Program or Information item, or within one of the sections on the Event page.
The only area that currently does not support links in the "Description" field is the Dialog section.
Participants can join your Zoom session either on a computer (recommended) or via phone. For more details on how they can connect, read below.
Participants can easily join the Zoom session either from the event menu ("Connect"), which opens a movable, embedded window, or from the specific program item.
Please note, a first name, last name, and email may be required if this information hasn't been provided in the participant profile already.
In the mobile app, participants will be automatically redirected to the Zoom application (download required) when clicking "Connect" ("Watch Live") in the event menu or "Connect to Meeting" in an individual program item.
You can easily remove a Zoom link from the "Watch Live" section (event menu) by either replacing it with another streaming option or disabling the "Watch Live" feature from the event's Settings page.
For program items, you can either replace the Zoom link with another streaming option or simply remove the link from the specific program item.
Enabling Zapier integration in Ventla
Your app needs to be enabled for the Zapier integration. This can be done by reaching out to
Once the app has Zapier integration enabled, you can turn Zapier integration on or off per event.
This is done under “Settings” -> “Features & Integrations”.
When enabling Zapier functionality for an event you will be presented with an API key, this API key is the same for all events.
The API key is used for authenticating your Zapier Zap with Ventla. Copy this and use it while setting up your Zap.
Important notes
Zapier is enabled per event but configured based on application. This means that one Zap in Zapier can handle triggers for multiple events. The triggering of the Zap will only happen for events where Zapier is enabled under Settings -> Features & integrations.
Hence it is only necessary to create a Zap the first time the Zapier integration is enabled.
Each Zap works on one specific Ventla Trigger. Allowing you to define which of the Ventla trigger events you want to subscribe to.
Carefully consider that your Zapier subscription plan is capable of handle the number of expected triggers for your events.
Start by creating a new Zap on your Zapier.com subscription.
Click on select “Trigger” and search for “Ventla”. Click to select.
Select trigger event to subscribe to
In the right hand side of Zapier, select the appropriate trigger for event to subscribe to
On the “Account” tab click connect to enter your API key (obtain from Ventla Admin)
Click continue
Optionally test the trigger to review the triggers data fields
Configure the Zapier “Action” by clicking on “Action”
This is defining where Zapier will send the data from Ventla
In this example we will select Hubspot
Continue by setting up the details of the action, here we will create a new contact in Hubspot based on the accepted invitees information.
Configure the account
Map the Ventla output data to the Hubspot input data
Here is an example on how we map the First name and Last name obtained from Ventla to the new contact record in Hubspot.
When done with the action configuration move ahead to test it.
When done with testing you can now publish your Zap. Once the Zap is published it will automatically run the configured action every time the Ventla trigger condition is applied.
Your final Zap shall look something like this:
Accepted invitation to event
Triggers in Ventla Invite when an invitee registers for an event, or when an administrator manually sets and invitee to “Accepted” status.

We'd love to hear what kind of event you're planning and support you from the first step to the last event minute.
And because we truly believe in bringing people closer, you can always call or email our founders and leadership team. We love sharing our ideas on a wide range of topics.
The Ventla platform consists of five components:
Ventla Invite is our integrated event registration module.
The Administrative Panel, available on desktop. This is where administrators with access can create and manage all event content.
Native Mobile Application available for iOS (iPhone / iPad) and Android. This is our recommended option for anyone attending in-person.
Virtual Venue (web platform) available on desktop or on any device with a web browser. This is recommended for anyone attending remotely.
Ventla Live Studio is our integrated streaming module.
Both the native mobile application and web-based Virtual Venue are are in-sync, making it easy for participants to switch between the two. Administrators will also only need to manage a single source of information. This is an essential part of creating a hybrid event, where both your in-person and virtual attendees can share the same seamless experience.
Ventla Invite and Ventla Live Studio are add-on features that can be integrated into your application. Ask a Ventla Representative for information on add-on costs.
Throughout the years, the Ventla Team has identified and conceptualized countless use cases, based on real events by real organizers.
Some examples of how Ventla can be used are as follows:
Events & Meetings
Travel Groups
Training Programs
Information Hubs
Community Hubs
Sales Competitions
Recruitment Initiatives
Pharmaceutical Conferences
We'd love to hear your feedback (the good and the bad).
Send us what you've got to and we'll consider your suggestions in future development.

As an organizer and administrator, you can sell tickets as part of the Ventla Invite registration flow. Getting started is a breeze, and Stripe, our payment processor, handles all payment processing smoothly and securely for you. More specifically, we use Stripe Connect and Stripe Tax.
Below is what you need to get started!
Learn additional details in this Guide for Connecting Stripe to Ventla.
As part of building your Invite registration page, you will create different ticket types (free or paid) as well as any promotions (for example, "Early Bird 10% Off" with a "10OFF" coupon code).
You will then, as usual, distribute the default link to the registration page to your invitees (either through Ventla or in your own preferred way). All recipients of the registration link will be presented with the various ticket types available for purchase.
The buyer chooses the number of each ticket type to buy, enters an email for the receipt, and in the next step adds an email address (invitee) to each ticket. The buyer can easily and conveniently buy a ticket both for themselves and any colleagues/friends/partners in one go.
The buyer then completes the purchase of the selected tickets. Note: the checkout process is handled entirely by Stripe Checkout. The default payment methods include Credit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna. You can control the methods yourself through your own Stripe account.
When the purchase is completed, a confirmation message is displayed, and an automatic email with ticket details is sent to all email addresses specified by the buyer. In this email, there is a link for each person to complete their registration (answer any standard and custom questions included in the registration, for example, name, company, if they need a hotel room, etc.).
When the invitee has answered all the questions in the registration form, another confirmation email is sent to the invitee, as usual.
Finally, as an administrator, you can quickly and easily get an overview of all invitee data, statistics and transactions of your ticket sales in the Invite module.
