What's new in Pragmatic Meet
Everything we've shipped. Newest entries first.
- Shipped
Transparency of email sending
See which emails were sent to the attendees of your event and how many people received them.
Where to find it
In the event panel, open “Review email deliveries”. Every message sent about the event is listed with its send date and the number of people who received it.
Reminders
Attendees get a reminder a week, a day and 4 hours before the start. You can see which ones have already been sent and which are scheduled, and when.
Announcements and other messages
The list also includes your announcements, cancellation notices, detail changes and the new-event notice in your group. You can open an announcement and see it exactly as attendees saw it.
What you get
- Quickly check whether an email reached attendees
- Know when the next reminder will be sent
- Attendee addresses stay private; you only see the numbers
- Shipped
QR scanner for attendee check-in
Check guests in at the door with your phone. Scan the ticket and attendance is recorded.
A ticket with a QR code
Once their sign-up is confirmed, the attendee gets a ticket in the email and in the reminder, also as a PDF. The ticket is available on the event page too. They don't need to be logged in at the door.
Check-in at the door
Open the scanner from the event panel or from the attendee list. The camera scans one person after another without restarting, and after each code you see the attendee's name. Attendance shows up on the attendee list right away.
Repeated and invalid tickets
If someone shows the same ticket a second time, you'll see they've already come in, and when. A ticket from another event or an invalid code is rejected and nothing is recorded.
What you get
- Faster entry for guests
- An attendance list without ticking names off by hand
- Certainty that nobody gets in twice on the same ticket
- Shipped
Event speakers
Show on the event page who will run it.
How it works
A group administrator picks speakers from the group's members, searching by name, handle or email address. On the event page their names link to their public profiles.
What you get
- Participants know who will run the event
- Speakers are on the guest list but do not take participant seats
- Shipped
Posts on the group page
Between events you can publish articles, recaps and previews on the group page.
How it works
The administrator writes a post, can add a cover and images, and can save it as a draft before publishing. You can keep part of the content for members only. Everyone else sees an invitation to join the group.
Notification
After publishing you can email members about the new post. Later you can edit the post, unpublish it or delete it.
What you get
- The group stays active between events too
- You can keep part of the content for members only
- Shipped
One-click unsubscribe from notifications
The footer of group emails has a link that turns off that kind of notification without signing in.
How it works
The link turns off only that kind of message and only from that group, such as announcements, and leaves the rest. If you change your mind, you can turn the notification back on in your account settings.
What you get
- You get only the emails you want
- You do not need to sign in to unsubscribe
- Shipped
Ticketed events
Every confirmed participant gets their own ticket with a QR code.
Where the ticket is
The ticket arrives in the registration confirmation email and in reminders, also as a PDF. Participants can also find it on the event page, under “Check-in code”. Someone on the waitlist gets a ticket when a seat opens up for them.
What you get
- The organizer does not need to switch anything on; tickets are created automatically
- At the door it is enough to show the code on a phone or a printout
- Shipped
An announcement to the members
You write one message and every group member gets it.
How it works
In the group panel go to “Announcements” and write a new one. Before sending you see an email preview and the number of recipients. If sending fails, you can retry it.
What you get
- Reach your group without collecting addresses
- A history of sent announcements in one place
- Members who do not want announcements can turn them off
- Shipped
Short event links
Share an event with a short link that is easy to paste into a post or a message.
How it works
The “Share” button copies a short link. The organizer can add UTM tags to it and the link still stays short.
What you get
- A short address instead of a long one
- The link always leads to the right event
- Shipped
A public profile
You have your own page with your name, photo, groups and the events you've attended. It's easy to share.
What's on the profile
Your name, photo, short bio, location and links, e.g. to LinkedIn or GitHub. Below, people can see the groups you belong to, the events you've attended and the ones you've hosted. Nobody but you sees your email address.
Editing and sharing
Fill in your profile in your account settings. Copy or share its link in one click.
Privacy
If you don't want to show your groups and events, turn that off in your preferences. Others will then see only the basics.
What you get
- One place that shows what you take part in
- A link you can send instead of introducing yourself all over again
- Control over what others see
- Shipped
Analytics tools
See where people come from to your events and your group, and which channels bring sign-ups.
Group and event stats
Group stats show members, sign-ups, visits and conversion. You can check the same numbers for each event separately.
Where sign-ups come from
Tag your links with UTM parameters and you'll see visits and sign-ups for each campaign and source. The Referrer view shows the sites people came from without tags, e.g. linkedin.com.
Any period
Set the period with a ready-made range (from one day to a year), in the calendar or by clicking a month on the chart. The stats link remembers the chosen period, so you can send it to another administrator.
What you get
- Know which channel brings sign-ups and which only brings visits
- Compare events and periods without a spreadsheet
- Every less obvious number has a tooltip that explains it
- Shipped
A reminder before the event
You get an email before an event you signed up for, so you don't have to keep track of the date.
When it arrives
Reminders arrive a week, a day and 4 hours before the start. People with a confirmed sign-up get them. If you're on the waitlist, no reminder is sent.
What's in the email
The date and time, the place and a link to the event page. If the event has tickets, the email also includes your QR code and a PDF ticket, ready to show at the door.
Settings
You can turn off each of the three reminders separately in your notification settings.
What you get
- You won't miss an event you signed up for
- Your ticket is right there in your inbox, no searching
- You decide which reminders you get
- Shipped
Cancelling an event, with a message
When you cancel an event, registered people get a message from you right away.
How it works
In the event panel choose “Cancel event” and write a few words to participants. Before sending you see an email preview. The message goes to people with a confirmed registration and to the waitlist.
After cancelling
The event page stays up, marked “Cancelled”, and no longer accepts registrations.
What you get

Live stream attendance
See which registered people joined the stream of an online event.

- Attendance also goes into the CSV export
- Shipped
