A Smarter, More Organized Events Listing Page is Here 📋
We’ve rolled out a refreshed design for the Events listing page, making it easier than ever to manage and navigate your events — especially as your list grows.
You can now:
- Filter events by type – Open, Moderated, or Invite-only
- Filter by status – Draft, Accepting Registrations, or Completed
- Sort your events – Recently Created, Recently Updated, or Alphabetically
A big new addition is the
ability to archive and unarchive events
, either one at a time or in bulk. This helps you keep your active events front and center while safely storing past events out of sight - without deleting anything.
These improvements are all about helping you stay organized, reduce clutter, and find what you need faster. Head to your Events dashboard and check it out!

📢 Platform Admins: You can now access a comprehensive Gift Report across all Events!
You can now view a single, consolidated Gift Report that pulls in all gift transactions across every event on your platform — directly from the Gift Tickets section on your Event Dashboard.
What’s new?
You’ll now find a complete Gift Report under the "Gift Tickets" section on your Event Dashboard. This report brings together all gifts received across all your events in one place — no more jumping between individual event reports!
What can you expect?
The report includes all the key details you need for end-of-quarter reconciliations like Gift amount, Date of transaction, Donor name, Associated event.
No need to rely on separate exports or manual tracking anymore — this report is available in a standard format and can be pulled as frequently as you need, whether that’s daily or weekly.
Why this helps you
For teams that don’t sync gifts automatically to Raiser's Edge or other CRMs, this makes life a lot easier. Whether you're reconciling with your payment processor like BBMS or just trying to stay on top of donations from multiple events, this gives you a simple, centralized view of all event-related gifts. 🎉
Check it out under Gift Tickets -> Event Dashboard, and let us know how it’s working for you!

Platform Admins — You Can Now Hide Attendee Count on Event Pages 🎟️
Not every guest shows up through Almabase, and we get that. Whether you're managing offline RSVPs, group sales, or VIP sponsors, your actual guest list is often bigger than what’s shown online.
That’s why we’re giving you more control over how your event appears.
✅
What’s new?
You now have the option to hide the attendee count on your event’s landing page — so if the number on Almabase doesn’t reflect the full picture, you can keep it off the page altogether.
This is a new setting added at the event level, and it works independently of the existing “Show registered guests” toggle.
🚀
Why this helps
- Protect your event’s credibility — avoid underrepresenting turnout when there are lots of offline guests
- More polished event pages — no need to show an incomplete number
- Flexible control — you decide how much visibility to offer attendees
Whether you're hosting a major gala, a small networking mixer, or something in between — this update helps your event look just as impressive as it really is.

Event Admins can now disable 'RSVP No'
You now have the option to remove the
“I am not attending”
(RSVP No) button from your event pages.What’s new?
There’s a brand new setting under Event Settings → Guest Experience → RSVP Options called “Allow RSVP No”.
- It’s a simple ON/OFF toggle.
- It’s ON by default (so no change unless you want it).
- When it’s OFF, the "I am not attending" button disappears for guests — no submissions, no emails, no clutter.
What you can expect
- Turning the toggle off removes the RSVP No button from the event page.
- Guests can no longer respond with “not attending”.
- No emails get sent to admins for non-attendance.
- No RSVP No data will show on your dashboard.
But don’t worry — registered guests can still cancel their registration if plans change. That feature stays put so your capacity and waitlist remain accurate.
Why this helps
This gives you cleaner data and a simpler experience — for both your team and your guests. If you’re only tracking confirmed attendees, or don’t need to know who’s not coming, this toggle keeps things tidy.
Let us know how this works out for your events — we’re always listening 👂💬
What’s new?
To ensure more accurate name data and better personalization, we’ve introduced separate fields for First Name and Last Name during event registration.
Why this matters:
Previously, we accepted a single “Full Name” field, which led to inconsistent name formatting—especially for names with middle initials, multiple components, or non-standard structures. This affected name tags, communication, and tracking accuracy.
What’s changing:
All event registrations will now collect First Name and Last Name separately.
Both fields are mandatory for every registrant.
In cases where a single name field still exists (e.g. legacy forms), we’ll automatically split the name:
For example, Jean Mary Ann becomes:
First Name: Jean Mary
Last Name: Ann
This change ensures cleaner data and helps deliver a more polished, personalized experience for every attendee.

Platform Admins — You Can Now Delete Event Registrations 🗑️
We heard you loud and clear — sometimes “Cancel” just isn’t enough. Starting now, event admins can fully delete a registrant from an event. That’s right, no more lingering “Canceled” labels, test entries, or email conflicts.
✅
What’s new?
You now have the power to delete a registration directly. This action completely removes the registrant from attendee lists, check-in reports, and related records — no trace for other admins or attendees.
🧠
What to expect
- Once deleted, the registrant will be removed from all event data — tickets, reports, check-in lists, etc.
- Their email is freed up, so they (or someone else) can re-register without admin intervention.
- Don’t worry about accidental clicks — admins will get a confirmation prompt before anything is removed.
🚀
Why this helps
- Cleaner records — no more clutter from test registrations or “ghost” attendees.
- Better control — especially useful for managing internal test runs or correcting manual entry mistakes.
- Less admin work — no need to jump through hoops to fix email conflicts or remove outdated entries.
This one's been a long time coming — we’re excited to finally get it in your hands!

Platform Admins — Text Consent Now Syncs with Raiser’s Edge!
We’ve got some good news if you’re using text messaging through Almabase and syncing data with Raiser’s Edge (RE).
✅
What’s new?
You can now sync text communication consent between Almabase and RE! Just like email consent, we’re now making sure text consent stays in sync both ways (pull and push).
This is powered by RE’s solicit codes, and you’ll be able to set this up in the Communication Preferences section of your RE integration mapping.
Bonus: All changes related to this consent will show up under the History tab on the constituent’s profile—so you’ll always know who opted in or out, and when.
🔍
What to expect
- This setting will be visible only if you’ve purchased the texting add-on.
- You’ll be able to map a specific solicit code from RE to control text consent on Almabase.
- The sync handles both adding and removing consent, depending on changes in either system.
- Just a heads-up: You can’t use the same solicit code for both email and text. This avoids accidental removal of both consents if one is revoked.
🚀
Why this helps
You’ll now have cleaner, more consistent consent data between Almabase and RE. No more second-guessing whether someone opted in or not—especially handy for staying compliant and respectful in your outreach.
