Aventri integration

Credentials

For Aventri, the following credentials are always required:

• endPoint
• accountid
• key
• eventid
• Active statuses - it is possible to set which participant statuses are imported as active. By default, they are Confirmed and Attended. Statuses need to be comma-separated.
• only_data_modified_up_to_a_day_since_last_sync. Please leave as it is.
• presenterPhotoEndpoint
• personPhotoEndpoint

Endpoint

Aventri's endpoint can be found here: https://developer.aventri.com/#api-endpoints

When providing the endpoint in the Aventri credentials page in Backstage, please provide it using this format: https://XXX/api/v2, where XXX is the Aventri endpoint, for example:
https://api-na.eventscloud.com/api/v2
https://api-apac.eventscloud.com/api/v2
https://api-emea.eventscloud.com/api/v2

Concurrent sessions

It is possible to automatically add master sessions for concurrent sessions that have the same start time. For creating concurrent sessions on the next sync, you need to:

1. Map the `in_slot` field coming from Aventri to our own in_slot field:

2. In the API Credentials, enter a new setting called `ConcurrentSessionsTitle` and set the desired title for the master sessions:

Data types

Participants, Session, Presenter, Presenter photos, Person photos, Sponsor, Sponsor levels and Schedule.

Note: Users in Aventri with a category.name of “Sponsor” are explicitly excluded from the user sync. Instead of being imported as users into SpotMe, they are imported as sponsors.

How add credentials

Go to the API Data module > API Credentials. Click on "Aventri [UPDATE ME]".

The credentials fields to update are pre-configured: just add the credentials you have received from the provider.

Then go to Preview to check if the credentials are working (please refer to the generic Integration engine page).

Mapping

Do not change the mapping for fp_ext_id and fp_status.

If your Aventri attendees uploaded their profile picture in an Aventri field of type "Upload file" or "Upload image", you will need to run the Users "preview" in SpotMe, open the report, and note the column name corresponding to this Aventri field.

Then, in Backstage, click on the Users data type to open the configuration, and change the mapping of the SpotMe field named "photo" so that it reads data from the Aventri field noted previously.

Troubleshooting

My sessions are not imported

SpotMe requires sessions in Aventri have a start and end time in order to be imported into SpotMe. Make sure that your sessions have a start and end time, and try importing again.
