USERS

If your department's finance information is already added to Cvent, users and eComm specialists can select the correct finance information [46] when creating paid or fundraising events [47]. This ensures the money collected for your event can be transferred from a single CU account back to your department.

ECOMM SPECIALISTS

Only the System Admin Team can add new Finance Information to Cvent. Submit the ticket below including the correct number and provide a description, formatted like the following:
- SpeedType = 12345678 - Short Description/Title
  - Fund 10, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 speedtypes (the two numbers after the first number in the speedtype) should not be used for Cvent events.
  - Funds 20 and 29 are most typically used in Cvent. Reach out to the campus controller accounting teams [48] for guidance on Fund 80s as each campus has a different experience with this fund.

Users

There is an automatic integration that occurs between Cvent and Salesforce [49]. By tracking registrants' event participation to Salesforce, we can better understand our constituents and how they engage with CU. Users can leverage this data to exlude registrants from reminders or target future messages [49].

eComm Specialists

While the Cvent-Salesforce integration [50] is automatic, the eComm specialist may need to get involved. This might include sharing the Campaign (if the person who created the event isn't the same person sending the Marketing Cloud messages) and/or converting a Campaign to a Data Extension (only necessary if the included audience is a Data Extension).

Abstract Management to support an involved, multi-step submission form with built-in workflows
Attendee Hub [60], a virtual event solution

Interested in chatting to Cvent about purchasing one of the above add-on products? Submit the ticket below (include the names of everyone to be included in the conversation) and we will get you in touch with them.

After signing a contract, you'll need to submit the ticket below for increased access (a task Cvent Help & Support cannot do). Provide a copy of the signed contract and outline which add-ons should be available to which users.

Automation Studio

Many communicators send recurring communications to the same audience. While that's a good thing, it can lead to a lot of repetitive manual work that can be streamlined with Automation Studio. Learn more about setting up your own automations to optimize scheduling recurring email sends [73].
Marketing Cloud senders are required to re-Start Data Extensions before each send to ensure the audience is up-to-date (and CAN-SPAM compliant). If an automation is configured to run all the Data Extensions in a Business Unit nightly, manually re-starting the Data Extensions before each send becomes obsolete. To make this move, eComm specialists can work with the System office to initially configure an automation in each Business Unit and learn to maintain. Learn how to get started with Automation Studio [74].
