Integrate Braindate to Your Attendee App
If your event uses Braindate for peer-to-peer matchmaking and conversations, you can bring the Braindate experience directly into the Accelevents Attendee App.
How Does it Work?
You'll need to create a custom page or custom button in the attendee app. You'll need to add the Braindate URL to the button that includes the attendees tokens that pass the signed-in attendee's details to Braindate automatically.
When the attendee clicks on the button from the app's home page, Braindate opens inside the app — no separate login, no jumping out to a browser and back.
What You Need Before You Start
✅ An active Braindate event and your Braindate event URL (for example,
https://yourevent.braindate.com). Your Braindate representative can provide this.✅ The email addresses your attendees use in Accelevents should match what Braindate has on file, since the attendee's email is what links the two systems.
1. Build Your Braindate URL
Take your Braindate event URL and add this parameter at the end:
/?embed=True&utm_source=accelevents&utm_medium=integration&ext-id=${ae_user_email}&ext-token=${ae_user_id}
Example:
https://yourevent.braindate.com/?embed=True&utm_source=accelevents&utm_medium=integration&ext-id=${ae_user_email}&ext-token=${ae_user_id}
In this example:
embed=Truetells Braindate to load in embedded mode, which looks correct inside the app.ext-id=${ae_user_email}passes the attendee's email address.ext-token=${ae_user_id}passes the attendee's Accelevents user ID.The
utm_sourceandutm_mediumparameters are optional and are only there for tracking.
2. Create a Custom Page in the App
Go to Event Design > Mobile App
Select Pages
Click + New Custom Page
Enter the page name and add an icon
Under Page Type, choose Link to URL
Paste the Braindate URL you built in Step 1
Choose whether the page opens in the app or in the device's browser. For Braindate, opening in the app is recommended so attendees stay in the event experience.
Save the page
Note: If you'd like Braindate to be visible only to certain attendees, enable Restricted Access and select which ticket types can view the page.
3. Add the Page to the App's Home Tab
Creating the page doesn't display it. You'll need to add it as a tile.
Go to Event Design > Mobile App
Choose Home Tab
Click Edit under Featured Tiles
Click + Add Tile
Find your Braindate page and click Add
Click Save
Your Braindate button will now appear in the preview and in the Attendee App.
4. Test It
Open the Attendee App and log in as a test attendee registered for the event
Tap the Braindate tile
Braindate should load inside the app with the attendee already identified
If Braindate loads but asks the attendee to sign in or doesn't recognize them, confirm that the attendee's email exists on the Braindate side.
