Add Braindate to your Accelevents Attendee App as a custom page or tile, and let attendees open the topic market already identified, without a second login.
Braindate is a peer-learning platform from Montreal-based e180, built around a crowd-sourced topic market. Attendees post the subjects they want to talk about, browse what everyone else has posted, and book one-on-one or small-group conversations instead of relying on open chat or a directory browse. With Accelevents, Braindate runs inside the Attendee App as a custom page, and the signed-in attendee is passed through automatically so the topic market opens ready to use.
You add your Braindate event URL to a custom page in the Accelevents Attendee App and append two tokens to it: the attendee's email address and their Accelevents user ID. When an attendee taps the Braindate tile on the app's home tab, Braindate loads in embedded mode with that attendee already identified, so there is no separate login and no hop out to a browser and back. The attendee's email is what links the two systems, so the addresses used in Accelevents need to match what Braindate has on file.
| Use case | Direction | What gets passed | Key setup note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Braindate inside the Attendee App | Accelevents to Braindate | The Braindate event URL loaded in embedded mode from a custom page in the app | Requires embed=True on the URL so Braindate renders correctly in the app |
| Identify the signed-in attendee | Accelevents to Braindate | Attendee email address and Accelevents user ID, passed as URL tokens | The email in Accelevents must match the one Braindate has on file |
| Limit Braindate to certain ticket types | Accelevents only | Nothing leaves Accelevents; the page is hidden from attendees outside the chosen ticket types | Enable Restricted Access on the custom page and select ticket types |
| Attribute app-sourced Braindate traffic | Accelevents to Braindate | utm_source and utm_medium values on the Braindate URL | Optional, and used for tracking only |
• Braindate inside the app: a tile on the Attendee App home tab opens the Braindate topic market in an embedded view, so attendees stay in the event experience rather than bouncing out to a browser and back.
• No second login: the Braindate URL carries the signed-in attendee's email address and Accelevents user ID, so Braindate recognizes them the moment the page opens.
• Ticket-type control: Restricted Access on the custom page limits Braindate to the ticket types you choose, which covers VIP tracks, members-only programs, and paid add-ons.
• In-app or in the browser: choose per page whether the link opens inside the app or hands off to the device's browser. Opening in the app is recommended for Braindate.
• Optional campaign tracking: utm_source and utm_medium parameters tag traffic that arrives from the Attendee App, for reporting on the Braindate side.
Setup is quick: append the integration parameters to your Braindate event URL, create a custom page under Event Design > Mobile App > Pages with the page type set to Link to URL, paste in the URL, then add that page as a featured tile on the Home Tab.
For step-by-step setup instructions, see the full guide: Open Braindate in the Accelevents Attendee App.
You create a custom page in the Accelevents Attendee App that links to your Braindate event URL, with the attendee's email address and Accelevents user ID appended as tokens. When an attendee taps the Braindate tile, Braindate opens inside the app with that attendee already identified.
Two values travel on the URL: the signed-in attendee's email address and their Accelevents user ID. Topics, bookings, and conversation history all live on the Braindate side.
No. The tokens on the URL identify the attendee, so Braindate opens without a second sign-in. If Braindate does ask them to sign in, it usually means their Accelevents email address does not exist on the Braindate side.
Creating the custom page does not display it on its own. Add the page as a tile under Event Design > Mobile App > Home Tab > Featured Tiles, and the Braindate button appears in both the preview and the live Attendee App.
Yes. Enable Restricted Access on the custom page and select which ticket types can see it. Attendees on other ticket types will not see the Braindate tile.
Either works, and you choose per page. Opening in the app is recommended so attendees stay inside the event experience.
Yes. You need a live Braindate event and its event URL, which your Braindate representative provides.
Take your Braindate event URL and append the integration parameters, then go to Event Design > Mobile App > Pages, click + New Custom Page, name it and add an icon, set Page Type to Link to URL, paste in the URL, and save. Then add the page as a featured tile on the Home Tab. The full URL format is covered in the setup guide.
