This article will guide you on how to best use and set up Sidekick, and through all of Sidekick’s tools to show you not only how to use them, but how best to use them.
Q: How should I set up Sidekick?
- Start with Settings, which helps decide how you want Sidekick to be presented to attendees
- Add Data Sources
- Review your Recommended Feed Items preferences
- Create and customize your Custom Feed Items
- Click “Generate Attributes”--this action is completed only once while setting up Sidekick.
- Customize your Attendee Matching
- Design Sidekick according to your preferences
Remember that you can exclude specific attendees from Recommended and Custom Feed Items if needed, such as if there is an exclusive/VIP session or an event that doesn’t need notifications, such as registration or meal times.
Q: How do I best use Sidekick?
- Choose the right Custom Feed Items–what custom cards do you want attendees to see, and when?
- Choose push notifications–what do you want to notify attendees about, and when?
- Select and design graphics and specifications–how do you want Sidekick to look?
- Take all of your preferences, and then build it in Amego
As a last step, make sure to test your Sidekick knowledge base before the event so you can perform a final check to determine everything is working as you would like. Make sure to test again once the event starts, especially if you add new data sources or run into an issue.
