Hello,

We are attending EVENT NAME on EVENT DATE in EVENT CITY. We use our own lead capture solution at events, GoCapture!™. We would like to use our app to scan name badges at the event. Would you please send instructions so we can purchase a developer's kit to integrate with your API?

We are happy to include our app provider on this email if you have further questions.

Thank you.

If the provider requests more information, feel free to copy support@leadliaison.com. Please Reply-All when copying us; do not Forward.

If the provider doesn't offer a kit, it could be for several reasons. You may run into this when:

  • The provider only provides post-show data merge
  • The provider cannot integrate with 3rd-party scanners
  • The show management is not allowing the provider to use 3rd-party scanners

...

Post-show data merge may also be offered as an alternative to real-time scanning. If you don't need leads instantly entered into your data, it can be a cheaper alternative. This tutorial covers our post-show data merge process

The provider cannot integrate with 3rd-party scanners

If the provider does not have an API other providers can integrate with, then Lead Liaison has other options. We can scan business cards using transcription, or even integrate import submissions from the event's proprietary scanner into our app. You should also contact event management and let them know that this is a feature you would like to see at future events.

Hello,

...



We understand your lead retrieval provider does not have an API for 3rd-party scanners to connect to.

...

 We prefer to work with our provider, Lead Liaison, because they allow us to have a consistent, customized experience across all shows. Most events allow us to integrate their app, and we would love to do so at EVENT NAME. 

...



This is a common option at other events, so it is surprising to not see here. Lead capture providers are becoming very common, so it makes sense to allow for integration. When planning for the next EVENT NAME, please consider choosing a provider that will allow us to do this.

...



Thank you for your consideration.

We can scan business cards using transcription, or even integrate import submissions from the show's proprietary scanner into our app. Contact your implementation manager for more ideas.

Finally, let show management know that you prefer to use your own app, and that this is something you want to see for future events. Feel free to use this email template:

Hello,

We understand that you will not allow 3rd-party apps to scan name badges at EVENT NAME on EVENT DATE.

Most events allow us to integrate their app, and we would love to do so at EVENT NAME.

Please let management know that this is something we want to see in the future. Lead capture providers are becoming more common, so it makes sense to allow integration. It doesn't make sense to deny a feature that LEAD RETRIEVAL PROVIDER commonly does at other events.

Thank you for your consideration.
