Official events arrive. Organizers can ask a publisher or brand to make their event official, and approved events can hand out that organization’s achievements and items right from event setup. This release also brings XP claim links for members moving over from another loyalty program, smarter XP spending in Shopify, and a round of tournament fixes.
Added
- Request official event status from an organization in event basics, with optional prize support for achievements and items
- Sponsorship requests in the organization Hub: review incoming requests, approve them, and attach the achievements and items the event can award
- Approved events can unlock the sponsoring organization’s achievements and adjust its items for attendees from event setup, and those rewards show up in the event’s rewards area
- Notifications and emails when an official event request is sent, approved, or withdrawn
- XP claim links: when an organization brings its loyalty program to XP Network, members get a link showing the XP waiting for them, and signing up from it claims the XP without a second verification email
- Option to avoid repeat tables in tournaments, so players don’t sit at the same table round after round
- Organization news posts can keep their original publish date, and you can choose whether each post goes out to your mailing list
- Shopify storefronts show how much XP a product or cart will earn, even for signed-out shoppers, with a prompt to join
