We added the option to open the */participants API in the participants section of each event. 

Using this API you can call specific parameters and integrate live tracking into your services seamlessly. That way you can identify those participants who have not yet redeemed their tracking keys and send them an email reminder with your mailing solution and provide a convenient race experience.

Read all information about */participants API in our documentation: https://docs.racemap.com/data-api/participants

You can now use multiple online sources to import information from participants or devices in your Racemap events. That way you work more efficiently with various groups of participants similar to contests in RACE|RESULT.

More information about the generic import: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api  

Users of RACE|RESULT timekeeping software asked to import the IMEI of their GPS devices to Racemap. 

Now you can flexibly use RACE|RESULT simple API to synchronize the additional parameters 

IMEI, color, key

with participant entries in your Racemap event.  That way you match participant information with GPS trackers in your online registration directly. A more efficient work flow.

Documentation:

• Synchronization of participants' information with RACE|RESULT: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-import-via-rr
• Synchronize participants and additional information with any online file (generic API): https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api

We improved to match the entries in your participant list with selected devices from your tracker management.

Import or sync the participant list of your event from your online registration for example with the generic API (https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api).

In your tracker management https://racemap.com/admin/trackers

1. Select GPS trackers to use for live tracking
2. Add these devices to an event
3. Select from your event list

The GPS units are added automatically to the participants in your event. The participant list shows the device name from tracker management, also.

Corresponding to this process there is no need for CSV files to update the participant list, anymore.

Timekeepers, event managers, etc. like to provide Racemap live tracking in their online registrations, directly. We received feedback to simplify connecting Racemap Apps for tracking. 

To automatically connect the user's smartphone with a specific race we now pushed a feasible process guiding participants independent from

• User's phone is iOS or Android.
• Racemap App (or custom app) is installed or not installed.
• Participant opens the confirmation email on its smartphone or desktop.

This solution scales for many participants providing a seamless user experience and saves support time. The process integrates the logo of the custom app and the event name.

We made it more flexible to import participants' data into your Racemap event. Just past any online participants file in the generic API, the rest is on us. The API checks the format of your file and provides feedback on which parameters are imported into your event. Can't be easier to connect Racemap with 3rd party systems like timekeeping or online registration.
