Yext for Events

PACKAGE: Visit the Yext Packages page and click the Events tab to see the features in these tiers.
CHANNEL: Direct customers of Yext

Yext for Events allows you to centrally create, approve, publish, manage, and measure your events across the event discovery ecosystem. Grant the right level of permissions to field or corporate teams to enter information into a single platform and automatically create event-specific web pages, add them to your events calendar and publish them broadly to sites like Facebook, Eventbrite, Eventful, and the local publications that people use to find out what’s going on in their communities.

Event Knowledge Manager
We’re excited to announce that you can now manage events alongside your location data inside the Yext Knowledge Manager. With the purchase of the Base Events Package or above, you can create and update events and view them alongside the data about your locations and professionals.

Events1.png

Give users granular permissions based on their role to create, update, or approve events. To create events, users can either add them one-by-one directly in the Knowledge Manager, or for brands that are doing many events across many locations, easily upload and update events in bulk with the Entity Upload and bulk editing tools. To be able to effectively manage the facts about your event, the Knowledge Manager includes over 25 event-specific standard fields such as event name, description, map markers, ticketing information, performer information and contact information, as well as unlimited custom fields.

Events2.png

And, to make it even easier to manage events happening across your brand, utilize advanced data management functionality such as the ability to schedule updates and add multi-language content. For brands using Yext for their locations, associate events with those locations to pull in location details, or specify the location information if the event is occurring at a third party site.

You can also integrate the Knowledge Manager with your internal systems through robust APIs or integrate with third-party services through the App Directory to ensure all teams and systems have the most up-to-date facts about your events. Customers with the Professional Events Package will be able to power consumer-facing first-party experiences via the Live API.

Event Landing Pages
With all of your event data centrally managed and up-to-date, Yext helps your events get found online by publishing it broadly to the places where future attendees are looking for things to do - including your own website.

Available as part of the Professional Package for Events, Yext users can now create and design landing pages directly in the Yext dashboard with easy-to-use, configurable modules that map data directly from the Knowledge Manager. Assign fields for photos, event names, event descriptions, map markers, and more so you have a beautiful page that is up-to-date with your event details, looks and feels like your brand’s website, and displays the relevant details for your individual events. Publish these events to your own hosted subdomain as soon as you create an event in the Knowledge Manager and associate it with the appropriate template. And, with Yext Landing Pages, your pages are always optimized for search with the correct Event schema, load quickly, and look great on any device.

Events3.png

If you have existing event pages that you’d like to keep using, customers with the Events Starter Package can use Yext Knowledge Tags to sync data from the Knowledge Manager to those pages and ensure they are still optimized for search.

Once pages are published and added to your subdomain, they are also automatically added to your event calendar. Event Calendars are customizable in platform and include powerful search and filters that can be set off any field in the Knowledge Manager. In addition to full brand calendars, calendars can also be pre-filtered and embedded onto other pages, such as location pages with calendars that only display events happening in that area.

Customers that require additional customization are welcome to engage our Professional Services team to create fully customized event calendars and event page templates.

Event Listings
Send your events out to the places where attendees are looking by publishing your event data to some of the leading sites for event discovery, including Facebook, Eventbrite, and Eventful. Yext also publishes your events to sites like AmericanTowns (US only), Eventseeker, and Evensi, which promote events locally. (Please see the Listings section of these Release Notes for a detailed description of each publisher.)

View your event listings in the Listings tab to check the status of your event listing, resolve any issues, or link out to see your live listing.

Event Analytics
Yext provides not only a platform to get the word out about your events, but also analytics back about how your events are doing online. Understand how your events are performing across publishers and locations, and over time. Build custom reports and dashboards to see which sites are driving traffic back to your web pages and calendars, what actions users are taking on your pages or your third party listings, what sites are getting RSVPs and how many impressions your events are getting across sites.

 

Knowledge Manager, Platform, & APIs

New Knowledge Assistant Skills

PACKAGE: The Knowledge Assistant is available in all Yext packages (Base, Starter, Professional, and Ultimate), but some skills require additional packages.
CHANNEL: All

The Knowledge Assistant continues to learn new skills! You can now ask the Knowledge Assistant:

  • “Update my address.”
  • “Update my phone number.”
  • “Update my description.”
  • “How many website clicks have I had?”
  • “How many phone calls have I received from Google?”
  • “How many driving directions have I received from Google?”
  • “Show me reviews that I haven’t responded to.”
  • “Update the time for my event.”

The Knowledge Assistant can now also Nudge you to confirm and update data, so consumers always see fresh content. You can take advantage of the Knowledge Nudge in a few ways, like:

  • Set reminders to confirm your data on a specific schedule
  • Use the Knowledge Assistant to ask field users for specific data that you need to collect

You can send out a one-time Knowledge Nudge to your field users by visiting Account Settings, choosing from a list of eligible fields, and sending a Nudge on-demand. The Knowledge Assistant will then message any registered KA user who is assigned to an entity that does not have this field filled out. For example, if you’d like to source photos of your locations, you can send out a Nudge to any field users who are assigned to locations that have no photos in their Gallery. (Users whose locations do have photos will not receive a message.)

You can also create rules around your Nudges, which tell the Knowledge Assistant when to Nudge your users automatically. Nudge rules are based on field type and timeframe — for example, if you choose the “Description” field and a timeframe of “6 months,” the Knowledge Assistant will continuously monitor all the entities in your account, and then as soon as any entity’s Description has not been updated in 6 months, it will send a Nudge to that entity’s KA contact.

New Entity Summary

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

Now, when you edit an Entity (such as a Location, Professional, or Event) inside the Knowledge Manager, you’ll see a Summary module on the right side of the screen with high-level information about that entity.  Depending on the Entity’s type and the services it’s subscribed to, the module will display the number of Live Listings, Average Rating, Page Status, and Total Activities. This module will replace the existing Listings Live module on the Location Edit screen today.

Phone Field Improvements

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

You can now explicitly set the country for any phone field with a new drop-down menu.

KM2.png

Digital Asset Management: Coming Soon to Partners and Small Business Customers

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: Partners and Small Business Customers

Effective Thursday, September 6, our Digital Asset Management feature will be added to all standard packages for Yext Partners and Small Business Customers. This feature allows Yext customers to store and manage a library of pre-approved assets (including text, photo, and video assets) that they can leverage across their Yext-powered properties.

Asset Availability

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

Previously, users could only specify that certain assets could be used on certain custom fields using asset labels.  With this release, we’ve introduced the ability to explicitly control asset availability for profile fields, review response, and social use.

Translations for Custom Field Options

PACKAGE: Base
CHANNEL: All

Previously, we did not support multi-language versions of option custom fields (single-option select or multi-option select). With this release, you can now provide translations for these options by following these steps:

  1. When you’re adding a Custom Field, in the “Field Specification” section, select a single-option or multi-option select type

  2. Fill out the options in the primary language and see the option for “+ Add translation”

    KM3.png

  3. Click “+ Add translation”. You’ll see a Specify Translations dialog.  Choose a language and fill out the translation for each option. Click “Save” to save, or “Save & Add Another” to add another language.

    KM4.png


Enhancements to Exports

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

In this release, we’ve continued to enhance our Exports functionality with UI improvements and additional features.  

Export File Format
Previously, all exports were downloaded automatically in .xlsx format, and you could not schedule .csv exports to be automatically delivered via email, FTP, or SFTP.  With this release, you can now specify .csv file format for any exports, including exports scheduled for automatic delivery.

Header Language
Previously, the export flow was designed for English use only. Now, you can explicitly select the language for headers in the export. The available language values for the “Header Language” option will be the same list of languages supported throughout the platform (see list of “Display Languages” within “Personal Settings”).

Additional Field Configuration Options
For text fields, you can set a character limit on the data exported. Previously, you could set a preference for cutting off at the nearest word or sentence. As part of this release, you can now choose word, sentence, or character.

Revamped UI

  1. You can now configure all the export settings on the Basic Info page, including the new settings for Header Language and File Format.

    KM5.png

  2. Click continue and view “Export Scheme” step.  

    KM6.png

  3. Select any fields on the left-hand side to add them to the export.  For any fields added, you can click “Configure” (under “Actions”) to customize their output format. You can also drag fields around, or click “Bring to top” or “Bring to bottom” under “Actions”.

    KM7.png

Enhancements to Templates

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

We’ve updated and unified the UI of our template creation and application steps. Previously, when creating a template, you had to scroll through a lengthy list of profile fields to select and fill out the ones you wanted. Now, you can now view profile fields in a more manageable way and intentionally select individual fields you’d like to add.

Revamped UI for Template Creation
The new and improved template creation flow makes it much easier for you to add templates:

  1. Create a new, empty template.

    KM8.png

  2. Select which entity types the template can be applied to. This will determine the list of fields available to add to the template. The template can only be applied to this selected set of entity types and can only contain fields that are applicable to every entity type in this set. (For example, if you are creating a Locations template, you will not be able to add “Event Time” to that template, since that field does not apply to the Locations entity.)

    KM9.png

  3. Select fields from the left side of the screen to add them to the template.

    KM10.png

  4. Fill out your desired values for the fields in the template.

    KM11.png

Revamped UI for Template Application
We’ve also revamped the template application experience to make it easier to understand which fields are getting applied. Importantly, you can no longer edit template field values during the process of applying a template.

  1. Select a template to apply.  This list will only contain templates that can be applied to the given entity type.

    KM12.png

  2. Select/deselect any fields in the template to apply.

    KM13.png

Keyboard-Navigable Flat Buttons

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

We’ve upgraded the look and feel of buttons across the Yext platform. This refreshed UI is more accessible to read and is keyboard-navigable.

APIs: Multi-Entity Updates

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

As Yext continues to expand beyond the Locations object, our APIs will evolve as well. In the future, we have plans to introduce the following additions to our APIs:

  • We’ll introduce support for CRUD operations for all entity types, including Locations, Events, Healthcare Professional, Healthcare Facility, and ATMs.
  • We will update the Data Model and Response Structure in the API:
    • Metadata (e.g. id, entityType, folderId, etc) will be separated from profile field content for easier consumption on the developer side.
    • Custom Fields will no longer be in a nested customFields object; moving forward, they will be top-level and customers will have the ability to set API Names for Custom Fields.
    • The response format will more closely match our internal primitive format. Compound fields in Yext will be compound fields in the API (e.g. Address)
  • To support a more consistent experience, we are consolidating our API filters across data-type, and adding the flexibility to support filtering on all fields of an entity. The new filter scheme will also have the ability to support many more matches, such as or, gt, lt, etc.
  • We'll be updating our endpoints for Custom Fields, Assets, Menus, Bios, and Products & Services to map to all entities, not only Locations.
  • Improvements to Multi-Language Profile Support will make it possible to fetch Multi-Language Profiles in bulk by all entities, as opposed to by location only.
  • We will make webhooks available for create, update and delete events for all entity types.

APIs: Split API Permissions

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

Previously, app developers could only specify whether their app had read-only or read/write access, and then specify all endpoints. You can now specify whether or not your app has read-only or read/write permissions per endpoint.

APIs: Names for Custom Fields

PACKAGE: Base, Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

You can now specify API names for custom fields. These API Names will be used to reference custom fields in API requests and responses. The names will only affect API endpoints related to Entities — custom fields will still be referred to by their IDs in legacy Location API endpoints. API Names will always be prefixed with "c_" in order to prevent collisions with existing fields (e.g., "c_myCustomField”).

 

Listings

As part of the Summer ’18 Release, you’ll have greater visibility into your listings with Google User Photos, and greater control over your brand’s online presence with Facebook Publisher Suggestions.

Google User Photos

PACKAGE: Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

Listings1.png

Consumers capture and share content about their experiences on a multitude of sites and apps, including Google, every single day. Do you know how many of these moments occur at your locations?

Now you can track the content that customers generate from your locations on Google with Google User Photos. See the customer experience through their lens to better understand where your business excels — and where it has room for improvement.

In addition to seeing the pictures you’ll also get access to analytics, like Views.

Information accessible in the platform:

  • Photo
  • Username and profile photo of who posted the photo
  • Date and location posted

You will also be able to view “Google UGC photo views” as a dimension in Analytics.

Facebook Publisher Suggestions

PACKAGE: Starter, Professional, Ultimate
CHANNEL: All

Listings2.png

Every day, consumers suggest edits to business listings based on their real-world experiences. However, these edits are sometimes inaccurate. And if applied to your listings, they can confuse other customers and negatively impact your SEO efforts.

With Yext Publisher Suggestions, you can view suggested edits made by consumers on Google Maps, Yelp, and now — Facebook, directly in Yext. Suggested edits made by users on Facebook will not expire in the Yext platform. And whether you want to incorporate a consumer’s suggestion or not, the choice is yours — so that others never see changes to your listings data unless you’ve authorized it.

Knowledge Network Updates

PACKAGE: Noted below
