Pass data from Webex Events to Slido
Before we talk about where Slido links can go, let's discuss passing attendee data to Slido.
In almost any place in Webex Events that lets you enter an External Link to another website, the 'Pass Data to URL' checkbox is also present. This lets Webex Events send attendee data to the external site. When you do this with a Slido URL, attendees don't have to fill in their name, email, or company or select their preferred language! They can start using Slido with a single click or tap.
The best part? You don't have to modify the Slido URL with placeholders or do any extra configuration in Slido. Simply enter the URL for your Slido event into Webex Events and check the Pass Data to URL checkbox. Whenever an attendee clicks the Slido link or opens a tab with Slido embedded, data passes automatically.
Read our Pass Data to URL article for more details.
Add Slido as a feature in your Event App
To add a Slido link as its own feature in your Event App, simply create a Web Link feature and add the Slido link. To make a series of event-level polls or surveys, use the Web List feature.
Add Slido to a feature or item
Add a Slido link anywhere you find the External Link field in Webex Events, such as in speaker or sponsor profiles. To learn about all the places you can add external links, read our External Links article.
Embed Slido as a Custom Tab
When you create a Session or Live Stream feature, activate the Custom Tab option and then paste in a Slido link. This embeds Slido into the Event App's web experience so attendees can interact with Slido polls, session surveys, or Q&A without leaving the live stream.
Now you know all about using Slido in your Webex Event!
