What are the restrictions on event names?

If you create an event, the name of this event will have to adhere to these requirements:

  • Event names may contain the following characters: A-Z a-z 0-9 _. So only use letters, numbers, and underscores. Don't use spaces.
  • Event names are not case-sensitive. For example, my_event and My_Event are registered as the same event.
  • Whitespace at the start and end of the event name will be removed.
  • Event names must contain at least three characters and can't exceed 40 characters.
  • Event names must start with a letter.

For example: change the event name 12 Custom Event to Custom_Event_12 to meet the requirements.

To check your current event names, visit the Data page.

These restrictions are in place since January 1st, 2025. All events accepted by Spotler Activate before this date have remained unchanged, even if the names did not meet the restrictions. All events that took place after this date have only been accepted if they met the restrictions.
