Schedule Chats with Attendees

The Scheduled Chats feature helps ensure that you will meet top candidates who you specifically want to meet.


About Scheduled Chats

Scheduled Chats are automatically facilitated one-on-one connections between specific Representatives and Attendees at preset time-windows during the event. It is a powerful feature that provides enhanced engagement and control.

Prior to the event, Representatives can send out invitations to schedule a chat with Attendees who they would like to meet. Invited Attendees can simply choose a time slot that works for them and will then be connected with that Representative at the scheduled time during the live event.

Top candidates can skip chat lines by accepting Scheduled Chat invitations.

Pro Tip! Pair Scheduled Chat with Search & Invite

By utilizing both the Scheduled Chat and Search & Invite features pre-event, you can empower your Representatives to take different actions for different Registrants.
  • Search & Invite permits Representatives to encourage selected Registrants to visit their booth, a perfect action to encourage more traffic to their booths and engage these candidates in Booth Chats.
  • For the most qualified candidates who Representatives may want to ensure they meet, Scheduled Chat permits these candidates to skip the Booth Chat lines and directly schedule a chat.

Important! 

To ensure you are accepting new chats, check that you are available to chat during the event.


How to Use Scheduled Chat

If a Representative intends to engage in Scheduled Chats, they must be assigned to a booth. Then, enable Scheduled Chat when adding new Representatives to a booth.
