✨ What's new
⏰ Push notifications that arrive on time
Scheduled push notifications now deliver at the right time in the event's timezone. Previously, notifications scheduled from Smart Scheduler could arrive several minutes late or not at all. Delivery has been re-architected so notifications go out on schedule.
🐛 What's fixed
- Profile editing: Editing your attendee profile, including photo upload, phone number, and privacy settings, now works correctly again.
- Organization switcher in demo mode: The demo flow no longer shows a list of unrelated organizations in the "Switch Organization" menu, and demo sessions now include an "Exit Demo" option.
- Adding a session to My Agenda: Attendees can now add a session to My Agenda even when a previously joined session has a blank registration status, instead of seeing "Failed to update session."
🔜 Coming soon
🗺️ Interactive venue maps
The Salesforce fields and objects for interactive venue maps ship in Blackthorn Events 5.54, so organizers can begin setting up floor plans and pinning session locations now. The attendee-facing interactive map in the Event Navigator app (tap a session to see where it takes place, and register from the pin) will arrive in an upcoming Navigator release.
