Major Enhancements to the Novi API
Over the past several months, our engineers have been hard at work upgrading Novi's API capabilities. Previously, while our API was robust, it was read-only. With these new updates, Novi can also receive data and updates into our system. This opens up a whole new world for customers utilizing other software and wanting to push updates into Novi.
In layman's terms... This enables third-party developers to build two-way syncs with Novi and other software platforms.
Quick Lesson: What is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. Still scratching your head? These "interfaces" are what allow us to communicate with other software providers and vice versa.
Here are some of the highlights from this massive overhaul:
Member Records
Create and update members in Novi through the API
Events
Create attendees & tickets in an application like Cvent, and have them display in Novi to allow for engagement tracking & CEU tracking
Display event categories on 3rd party sites
Activity Timeline
Log activities from 3rd party applications into the Novi Activity Timelines on your member records
Ecommerce
Create and update product orders
SSO Updates
Customers with multiple Novi instances can now use one login to allow their members and admins to log in to multiple sites. Not using Novi for your foundation? Give us a shout!
This work also sets us up for SSO using Okta or Office 365. If you're interested in exploring those possibilities, reach out to us.

Novi's Uptime & Status
We know nothing can be quite as frustrating as a system being down while you are trying to work. We're very proud of our historical uptime (99.99%) and we make every effort to ensure the platform remains available to you and your members.
Now, we have a Status Page you can visit to view our historical uptime, & subscribe to updates when there is any planned maintenance, unplanned issues, or downtime out of our control.
Quick Updates
The same image cropper available for logos and headshots is now available when editing featured images across the backend of your site! You can find this in Events, Blog Posts, Association Settings, & more!
Filter staff & sub-company lists by all statuses available on your main member list view!
It is important to make sure your members know emails coming from Novi are not spam. We updated the verbiage on the email notification primary contacts receive when a staff member is added to make this clear to your members.
Direct links to the Member Compass tabs allow you to provide a seamless experience for member account management. You can now link directly to a specific field in the user's Profile! Learn more about these kinds of capabilities within the Member Compass.
If you allow non-members to create accounts, they can now add their company to the account creation process if it doesn't already exist in the backend. This will make sure you are able to collect this important information from Non-Members.
Do you manage more than one Novi site? Now, there is a quick way to double-check yourself and make sure you are doing work in the right place!
