January eComm User Newsletter.

General Updates

Marketing Cloud

Cvent

  • Success Story | OnArrival: Check out resources from a Nov. 2023 presentation by Monica Cutler (CU Denver). She has helped her alumni/advancement team embrace Cvent's technology to enhance day-of-event processes for a better attendee experience. 
  • Special Characters in Event Title: As of December 2023, special characters can now be used in event titles. Previously, event titles containing special characters would cause issues with credit card payments, leading to reconciliation problems with Authorize.net and Wells Fargo. This resulted in failed payments, delays, and difficulties in issuing refunds. Fortunately, this is no longer the case.
  • Cvent Express is Sunsetting: While no timeline has been provided, we have been informed that Express events are to be sunset. That means all events will need to be created in the more robust Flex/Standard format. eComm users will be communicated with once Cvent provides a timeline and as it approaches. There is no need to take immediate action.

 

Featured Resources of the Month

Start 2024 off fresh by staying organized to boost productivity and efficiency.

Marketing Cloud and Salesforce

Do you find yourself taking two clicks every time you login to Marketing Cloud to navigate to Email Studio? Set your Default Login Preference to Email to avoid that step when logging in.

We know how cluttered your Marketing Cloud account can get if you are a frequent sender. Use Content Builder, Salesforce Send, Data Extension, and Tracking folders to stay organized.

Cvent

Collaborating with someone else at CU on your events? Give other Cvent Users visibility to your event so they can modify registration, access reports, help manage invitees, clone it for a future event, and more.

Use the Media Library in Cvent to organize your images into folders.
