The Actions feature (formally known as Events) is officially available on Walk.

An "In-person" action can now be associated with one or more lists of contacts.
Users can only access the list(s) when the action is about to start
They automatically lose access to the list(s) when the action ends

  • New Action Start and End behaviour

App users can "check-in" to an action up to one hour ahead of the action start date.
Once they have checked in to the action, they will only have access to the lists attached to that action.
Any interactions that they collect during the action are associated with that action (for in-person actions only)
When an action ends, access to these list(s) is automatically removed (unless a user has been specifically assigned to that list as a user or team member)
Alternatively, users can opt to exit the action before the action end time has passed.
