If your brand is like ours, different types of events need different types of visual experiences — and that includes color. This update is going to save your team more than few hours in 2021.
As Sr. Product Designer Allie DeCastro shouted from the figurative mountaintop, "The days of adding and managing color sets at the individual event level are over."
Now, users can now upload up to 10 color sets to the Brand Library, eliminating the need for users to ever do this manually.
With a single toggle, event hosts can instantly transform their event touchpoints with on-brand color schemes.
Using Brand Library
The Brand Library is located in the Library tab of the Events Dashboard for Splash users with an Admin or Creative Specialist role.

Integrations are supposed to be "set it and forget it" — at least, until they're not. Sometimes you need to make a field mapping change, manage connections, or evaluate your options.
With the new ability to edit integrations for specific events, users have the power to make changes without impacting all settings for events across your account — and easily troubleshoot if there's an error.
And get this: If you create your Splash event after setting up a program in Zoom, Salesforce, BlueJeans, ON24, and Marketo, you're able to link them up in an instant.
