What's New

What's new on Cloomba

A running log of significant updates and new features.

Calendars

Memberships — offer free or paid tiers on your calendar, paid once or renewing monthly or yearly, with member-only events and tickets; approve each member yourself, or let people with an email on your domain join right away
Newsletters to groups — send a calendar newsletter to everyone or only to a membership tier or a tag, then follow up with the people you missed
Tags on people — tag the people on your calendar's People tab and filter the list by tag
Events from elsewhere — paste the link to an event hosted on another site, and it appears on your calendar with a button to the original
Handing over a calendar — an admin can leave a calendar, and the owner can transfer it to one of its admins

Tickets & payments

Approve, then pay — with approval on a paid event, guests pay only after you approve them, within the time you set
Several payment accounts — connect more than one Stripe account, choose which one each event is paid into, and share one with a co-organizer; people who run events on one calendar each keep their own money (how it works)
Check-in staff — let someone check in guests at the door during the hours you set, without access to manage the event

Events

Materials — upload slides, recordings, and documents to an event or to one of its speakers; registered guests find them on the About tab
Short links — get a cloo.mba link for an event from its Share menu

Telegram

Sign in through @cloomba_bot — press Start in the bot and you're signed in
Telegram links — share an event with a Telegram link from its Share menu, and it opens right inside Telegram

Apps

iOS and Android 2.6 — join and pay for memberships in the app, see the calendars you run, belong to, and follow on one Calendars screen, and get asked about notifications when you first need them — joining an event, sending a message — instead of at sign-in

Pay what you want — set a minimum (or zero) and let people choose what they pay
Price on request — list a ticket type without publishing a number when the price depends on the details
One event, several languages — write the description with a section per language; each visitor sees theirs
Public calendar directory — /calendars now lists public community calendars
Subscribe to a calendar — iCal and RSS feeds; paste the link into Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Google and new events arrive on their own
Embeds — put a calendar or a single event on your own site
Public API — see the developer docs

The first wave of post-launch features is live:

Multiple ticket types — sell early-bird, standard, VIP, and group tiers side by side
Granular notification preferences — pick which updates reach you by email, push, and Telegram
Follow organizers and topics — follow an organizer, calendar, category, or city to hear about new events
Organizer analytics — attendance trends, conversion funnels, and revenue summaries for your events
Import events — bring events over from other platforms in a few clicks
Sign in with Telegram — plus @cloomba_bot for one-tap walk-in RSVPs at the door
