It’s already July, so why not show off those event muscles this summer? With our new release, we’re giving you the tools to flex — taking your event marketing expertise further than ever before.
From embedding Zoom directly into Splash to connecting with third-party services quickly and easily, plus new Splash Plans for every type of team, this release gives us all something to brag about.
Last month, you met the Virtual Event Page touchpoint, which turns any live stream into a completely branded experience with automatic check-in. Now, it’s possible to embed Zoom ↓ directly in Splash! (No downloads required.) Sign up for the beta to start hosting.
What’s a product release without all-new Branded Themes ↓ featuring animated patterns and textures? This month’s are optimized specifically for the Virtual Event Page touchpoint. From streamlined flyer formats to “there’s a block for everything,” you’ll find the event marketing templates you crave.
With Team Manager, it’s easier than ever to set up Splash to take advantage of everyone’s expertise. Now there are new pricing plans ↓ to match. When the whole organization gets involved, you'll see more event registrations and conversions, and that means a greater ROI on your marketing programs.
If integrations and connected tech stacks get you pumped, there’s something for you, too: HTTP Request ↓ , the best way to connect third-party services directly to Splash. With authentication support, there are even more opportunities to save you and your team time.
Toned, tan, fit, and ready — read on ’cause it’s getting heavy.
This feature is in beta, available to all users with a paid Splash plan.
If you already use Zoom to host virtual events, you're going to love taking them to the next level with Splash. Just grab the Meeting or Webinar ID, paste it into Splash, and watch your live event transform: fully branded, automated check-in, and valuable guest data synced across your systems.
“You can now use Splash to host on-brand Zoom events, and your guests no longer have to download Zoom to attend. Thanks to the Virtual Event Page touchpoint, you'll know exactly who's in the room and how long they attended.” - Product Manager Mike Siegel
Whether you host with Zoom Meetings or create live and on-demand Zoom Webinars, Splash gives you the tools to turn these events into beautiful online experiences for guests — before, during, and after that record button turns red.
How do I embed Zoom? Just open the Virtual Event Page touchpoint and paste your Webinar or Meeting ID into the embed screen. If your team isn't already signed up for the beta program, get access by signing up today.
How do I get started with the touchpoint? Check out our help topic for step-by-step instructions for embedding Zoom in Splash. You can also watch our on-demand webinar about the Virtual Event Page touchpoint for a guest journey overview, registration page setup, and best practices for guest communication.
Simple, Clean, and Live Streamable: New Branded Themes
These themes are available to all users with a paid Splash plan.
Three new themes are waiting for you in Splash: Ask the Expert, Meet Your Muse, and Coffee Chat. With inspired copy ready for you to customize and animations titillating every viewer, guests will have no choice but to register for your virtual event in record time.
Designer Alex Zahradnik describes Coffee Chat as a "more streamlined, flyer-like theme, whereas Ask the Expert provides a greater level of detail." And because these themes leverage the SVG element, Alex reminds that they're also great choices if you also have any vector art.
If you're looking for new, clean event marketing templates that anyone on your team will feel comfortable using for virtual events, give these a try. They come with an event page, a registration form, event promotion emails, and a share card ready to go — and they're optimized for online events, thanks to the Virtual Event Page touchpoint. What are you waiting for?
How do I start using this theme? If you’re a Splash user with a paid plan, this theme is already in your account. Just create a new event and click the Recommended tab.
Splash plans are available to everyone.
From admins to integration specialists, everyone has a part to play in running events. But not every organization is set up the same way. That’s why we launched new Splash plans that enable anyone to market best-in-class events — event enthusiasts and experts alike.
“We want to make it easy to enable more people across more teams to host more beautiful, branded events with Splash — especially now that so many of us are relying on virtual events to connect. New Splash plans are designed to get you access to the features you and your team need right now. It's faster and easier to get started with Splash.” - Sasha Pasulka, VP of Product & Customer Marketing
With the right feature sets for registration, design, event promotion, analytics, governance, integrations, and support, your team can take best advantage of marketing’s highest ROI channel. When you're ready to get real results with virtual events, there's a Splash plan to get you there.

This feature is available in early August to all users with a paid Splash plan.
In early August, you'll notice a new option in the Integrations tab: HTTP Request. Consider this the next-gen Simple Postback with configurable authentication — or, for those among us without API endpoints in our veins, the best way to connect third-party services to Splash.
What can you do with HTTP Request? Here are some of Technical Writer Sabrina Suffridge's favorite use cases:
"We designed the new HTTP Request integration with configurable authentication. It supports basic auth and certain types of OAuth, which means there are more services out there that clients can use to connect Splash to. It's an exciting release because it unlocks so many more possibilities for clients to automate and save themselves time." - Bart Flaherty, Engineering Manager
How do I use HTTP Request? Take a tour through our technical guide to learn how the integration works and to review configuration details.
How do I access this integration? Your account will be automatically updated in early August with an HTTP Request selection. Keep an eye on the Integrations tab!
