Featured Feature
Invitation Only Events & Ticketing
Keep your events visible to the community, but restrict who can register through invitation-only ticketing. Load the invite list into the event dashboard or generate access codes to send to potential attendees to grant them access to certain ticket types or events. Lastly, a native form is included in this registration flow to collect interest from those who are interested in registering, but are not on the invitation list.
Other Features
Forum Update
You can now embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo in your Forum posts, and share graphics and emojis in comment replies.
Learn more about Forum here, and reach out to the Gradual team should you want to enable it in your community.
Allowlist Sign-up Mode
Set up a domain allowlist in your sign-up mode settings to limit member sign-ups from only an approved list of email domains. You have the freedom to add and remove domains self-service in the dashboard and can establish the platform’s handling of users who sign up with domains that are not included on the allow list.
You can also block specific email domains from signing up in Settings→ Sign-Up Settings → Sign-Up Options if that’s a preferred mode for sign-ups.
Common Room Integration
Integrate your Gradual community activity into Common Room; where all your active community channels — Slack, Discord, GitHub, etc. connect to automate engagement workflows and show your team's impact.
Choose if you want Emojis in Events
Emoji reactions can now be disabled by admins in the dashboard for livestream events, or by attendees self-service in the live event environment.
Advanced Chat Moderation
There have been some updates to the native moderation features that automatically moderate messaging and chats so they are appropriate, and deter spamming. We have an “advanced moderation” mode that we can enable for your community if you find the standard moderation features are still allowing unwanted messaging or behavior from users. The advanced moderation includes user rate limiting and cool-downs as well as a more advanced “strike” feature which will auto-moderate users abiding the chat.
