Attendees have more control over how they appear to others in the Blackthorn Event Navigator app. From the Profile page, each attendee can edit their details, add a photo, and turn the visibility of individual fields on or off. Event Organizers can also define event-specific custom profile fields.
Note: The in-app experience arrives automatically when attendees update Navigator. The supporting Attendee and Event fields ship in the Events 5.47 Salesforce package and must be installed by an admin.
For attendees
Edit your profile
From the Profile page, you can:
- Edit your name, title, company, and a freeform "About Me" bio
- Add a profile photo so others can put a face to the name
Control who sees what
Turn the visibility of individual profile fields on or off, independently:
- Job title
- Company
- Phone
- X (Twitter)
- "About Me" bio
Fields you hide do not appear to other attendees, and you won't surface in the attendee directory if your profile is hidden.
For Event Organizers
Define event-specific profile fields
You can define custom profile fields that are relevant to your event — for example, "Tech Stack" for a developer conference or "Specialty" for a medical conference — so profiles capture details that matter for your audience. Attendees fill these in from their Profile page alongside the standard fields.
