Cvent helps transform the meetings & events industry through technology that delivers live engagement across in-person, virtual & hybrid events.
Our ongoing partnership with Cvent ensures the best compatibility of our products. Currently, Walls.io can be integrated to Cvent in the following ways:
Embedding the social wall widget on the Event Website
Embedding the social wall widget on Session pages in Attendee Hub
Add a social wall card to Attendee Hub Pages
In this tutorial, we'll explain all three kinds of integration.
Setting up your Walls.io social wall
1. Sign-up at Walls.io & set up your social wall
To get started, sign-up for a Walls.io trial. Setting up your social wall is fairly easy – connect your social media accounts and start adding sources – i.e., hashtags around your brand and products or your owned social media accounts. For further information, check out our tutorial or watch the video below!
2. Copy the iframe embed code from your Walls.io social wall
In your Walls.io account, go to "Embed & Display" and copy the iframe embed code as marked in the screenshot below (it's sufficient to click on the code to copy it to your clipboard):
For most use cases, we recommend sticking with our "Fluid" default layout – if you prefer another layout or want to pick a different color scheme or language, please have a look at the advanced settings before you copy the Iframe embed code:
Most options should be pretty self-explanatory, but we've more information available here.
