How to Request a Meeting on the Event Platform?

In this article, we’ll guide you through the simple steps to request a meeting on the event platform.

Ways to Find Event Participants:

1. Global Search: Use the search bar to find participants by name.
2. Browse Event Lists: Explore the participant lists on the platform and use filters to find people you’d like to meet.
3. Recommended for You: The platform will suggest up to 10 participants based on your profile and interests.

Requesting a Meeting in 3 Easy Steps:

Once you’ve found the participant(s) you’d like to meet, requesting a meeting is simple:

1. Click "Request a Meeting"
   Navigate to the participant's profile and click the "Request a Meeting" button. This option is available in various sections of the platform.

2. Select Meeting Details
   Choose your preferred time, date, and location for the meeting. You can also add a personal message before clicking "Send" on the web or "Request a Meeting" on mobile. If needed, you can request multiple meetings with the same participant.

   

3. Track Your Meetings
   You can view scheduled meetings with a specific participant on their profile page. Additionally, an overview of all your meetings is available in the "My Schedule" section.

Meeting Statuses Explained

Understanding the different statuses of a meeting can help you manage your schedules more efficiently:

• SCHEDULED: The meeting has been confirmed by at least two participants (the organizer and one invitee).
• PENDING: Someone has requested a meeting with you, and you need to accept, decline, or reschedule it.
• AWAITING RESPONSE: You have requested a meeting, and the recipient has yet to respond.
• DECLINED: The meeting has been declined by one or more participants.

Note: You do not need to be connected with someone to request a meeting with them. A connection will automatically form once the meeting request is accepted.

Adding More Participants to the Meeting

If multi-user meetings are enabled, you can add more participants to your scheduled meeting. This can be done either in the "My Schedule" section or directly from the profile of the event participant by clicking the "+ Add Attendee" under the invitees.
