Organizing an event can be a daunting task, especially when it’s an optional training session. As an event organizer, you want to spread the word without overwhelming your colleagues with company-wide emails. So, how do you ensure your event is visible to the right people while streamlining the process for everyone involved? Enter Cloudwell’s self-registration for Outlook events solution—a game-changer for event organizers and attendees alike.
The Spark Behind the Solution
Our self-registration for Outlook events tool was inspired by a real customer. They needed a better way to handle optional training events, such as monthly security trainings. Their existing method of sending mass invites left inboxes cluttered and lacked a straightforward way to track attendees. They envisioned a system where employees could browse events, select the ones they’re interested in, and register seamlessly—all without the headache of mass emails or manual tracking.
Recognizing that there wasn’t an out-of-the-box solution on the market to meet these needs, we took on the challenge. We built a flexible, efficient tool that integrates with Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams. It’s now easier than ever for employees to sign up for events and for organizers to see who’s attending—all without clogging anyone’s inbox. Notably, there isn’t an out-of-the-box solution on the market that offers this level of integration and ease, making Cloudwell’s self-registration for Outlook events unique.
