We are thrilled to introduce unique custom fields with OneTap profiles.

Be it student ID, employee ID, or any other unique information about the attendees, a unique custom field is crucial in maintaining unique profile records and dealing with duplicates.

Benefits

  • Efficient Profile Management: Maintain distinct and organized profiles, reducing duplicates and ensuring accuracy.

    • Example: In a university, unique custom fields allow for each student to have a distinct student ID. This ensures that each student's record is organized separately, reducing the chances of mistakenly combining data or creating duplicate profiles.

  • Personalized Interactions: Tailor communications and experiences based on specific attributes for a more engaging user experience.

  • Insightful Analytics: Gain deeper audience insights for informed decision-making and product refinement.

  • Compliance and Security: Safeguarding data integrity is crucial for industries with strict regulatory requirements.

Who is it for

  • Teachers and Professors: Streamline student and employee records with unique IDs for seamless tracking.

  • Event Planners: Coordinate events effortlessly by managing precise attendee details.

  • Membership Organizations: Personalize interactions for members based on their unique attributes and preferences.
