Lead Capture Mobile App

Overview

End users will capture Prospect information by entering data onto a custom form, scanning badges, capturing business cards, and more. This document will guide users through downloading the app, setting it up, and capturing Prospect data.

Getting Started With the Mobile App

Prior to attending the event, ensure that your device is equipped with the most recent version of the mobile app. The app is compatible with Apple iOS version 14 or higher, Android version 10 or higher, and Amazon Fire OS 7 and above, supported on Amazon Fire tablets released in 2018 or later.

If your users cannot access the Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore, users may download our APK directly to install. The user must give their device permission to install from unknown sources. Click below to access the appropriate APK.

Captello™

Currently Apple does not allow for similar side-loading methods on iOS or iPadOS devices. If you need to side load on an iOS or iPadOS device, please contact Lead Liaison support for more options.

Mobile App Navigation Video

This video walks through how to use the mobile app.

New Users

If you are a new user, you will receive an email with an invitation code and links to the App Store and Play Store. If you prefer a text message invite, please contact your event coordinator before the event. After installing,

  • Open the mobile app

  • Enter your email

  • Enter your authentication code

  • Tap Sign In

  • If prompted, allow notifications

Once you have logged in, you will not need to do so again. The app will remember your device unless you uninstall the app or manually unauthenticate.

Resending Auth Code

If you forgot or lost access to your auth code, tap on 'Forgot Auth Code?', to resend it to your email.

Existing Users

If you are an existing user, you are ready to go. Make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the app. Normally the app will update automatically through the App Store, but it is best to check for pending updates before the event.

If you uninstalled the app or unauthenticated after your last event, simply use the same authentication code and follow the steps above. If you no longer have your code, ask your event coordinator to resend it. 

Using the App

When you first log in to the app, you will see the Events screen. The Events screen will only show events you have been invited to.

While the App loads, you will see a syncing bar at the bottom. If this is your first time opening the app, it might take up to 30 seconds to fully sync everything. 

Tap on an Event to open its options.


  • Capture - open event lead capture form

  • Rapid Scan - opens the badge scanner or business card element for the form and allows the user to scan one after another. This option is only displays if an administrator has added it to the form properties.
  • Review Submissions - view or edit previously-captured leads

  • Instructions - view instructions for this event

  • Cancel - return to Events screen


Mobile App Menu

Settings

Before starting, review your device settings. To access settings, tap the menu icon in the top-right corner and select Settings.

Organization

The organization section shows data on your organization's profile from Lead Liaison. This data is for informational purposes only and cannot be changed within the app. 

  • Name– the name of the organization

  • Key– device key for testing purposes only

  • Operator– user the device is assigned to

  • Device ID - a unique ID for your device (may be used for support purposes)

Localization

Change the displayed language. App menus, field labels, and field hints will change, but Event Names and locations will not change. 

The app will detect the user's default language settings on their device. If supported, it will automatically adjust to that localization if Auto Translate is turned on in the back end. 

Automatic Upload

The operations section has the automatic upload option. By default, automatic upload is enabled. While it is enabled, Captello will automatically push new prospects to the Lead Liaison platform. If you prefer to review submissions before sending them off, turn this toggle off. 

Save Business Cards on Device

Saves a copy of the business card image (both front and back) in images locally on your device. 

Reminder for Unsubmitted Leads

If the Automatic Upload setting (above) is disabled and Reminder For Unsubmitted Leads is enabled, a notification will trigger (based on the scheduled time) if leads have not been submitted from the device to the server. This notification may be triggered when leads are collected in bulk. For example, from Rapid Scanning badges or business cards. 

Auto-Crop

Turning this setting on will crop the image of the business card around the card only. Works best with contrasted backgrounds. Cropped images are easier to transcribe and result in higher quality results. 

Kiosk Mode

Use this section to manage your kiosk mode password. If you open a kiosk mode form without setting a password, the app will ask you to create one at that time. If you forget your kiosk mode password, you will have to return to your device's home screen and exit the app to restart it. 

Single Tap Selection

Allows a single tap on drop downs and eliminates the need to make a selection and then click a button to enter your choice. 

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics section contains information that may be required by the support team in case of any questions or concerns. To save temporary device storage, you may turn logging off. However, the support team may be unable to diagnose potential issues without logs.

Unauthenticate

To unauthenticate your device, click the red button. Keep in mind, you will need a new authentication key in order to reactivate your device.

Support

Inside the mobile application you'll see a menu option for Support. Inside this area there are three sections:

  1. Start a Conversation: This option launches a communication system that connects you with multiple members of our support team. From here the support team can provide guidance, troubleshooting, and even screen share with your mobile device. You can also search for help using a built in knowledge-base under the "Find an answer yourself" section. Support usually responds within a few hours. If your inquiry is urgent, it's possible to have a real-time conversation with a support representative. If you're not able to respond within the mobile app then an email will be sent to you. 
  2. Open a Ticket: This option opens your device's native email client. The email sends a message to support@leadliaison.com where a support ticket is opened. 
  3. Documentation: The page links to our documentation page on the web.

Admin

This section allows the admin level users to perform below actions right from the mobile app:

  • Check and share Auth Code
  • Check event access for users
  • Send new invites

Click on the hamburger icon at the top left and select Admin:

The Admin option in the app menu is tied to the following permission(s) in user's Security Profile:

Check "Mobile App See Access" if you want mobile users to be able to see the Admin options in app menu. Similarly, you can control whether or not they can see Auth Codes or send invites.


Next, select the event you'd like to check or grant access for:


Now you'll see a list of all of the users who have access to the event. This is divided into three sections:

  • All: Shows all of the users who have access.
  • Used: Shows users who have logged into the app using their Auth Code.
  • Pending: Shows users who have not yet accepted the invite or used their Auth Code.

To check or share Auth Code, simply click on the user and it will show the details like below. You can also share this information using the Share option.

To invite a new user, click on the red + icon at the bottom right. From here, you can either add a new user invite, send invite to an existing user, or send a universal invite:

In case of a new user, simply enter the name and email address of the user and click Invite. If you like to send invite via email and SMS both then you'd have to enter their phone number as well.

If you are inviting an existing user, click on the Select User dropdown menu and select the user to send the invite to:

Analytics

You can view all your event analytics in the app as well. Open the app menu, tap  analytics,  and choose your event to get started.



This is the same information as you get in the Events Dashboard under the web app.

Lead Capture

To begin capturing leads, tap on the appropriate show and select Capture. If this is the first time you have opened this Event form, you may see the Event’s instructions.



To fill in data, tap on a field to type in data. Some fields will require you to select one our more options. For example, your event coordinator may have created a Product Interest field with several searchable options. Note: every Event Form may be different, so make sure you review it beforehand.

Once you have completed the form, tap the Submit button in the top-right corner of the screen. You should see a success message as shown below. To cancel your submission, tap the back arrow in the top of the screen.

Rather than manually enter data, you may have different options for capturing data. These options include

  • Capturing a business card for transcription
  • Scanning a badge
  • Searching through a pre-registration list

Menus

Your event coordinator may have enabled either the Buttons Menu or Floating Buttons. These buttons make it easier for you to capture, edit, and review your leads at an event. Depending on the event's settings, your options may vary from those shown below.

Buttons Menu

The Buttons Menu is a horizontal menu at the bottom of the form.

  • Submit – submit current submission
  • Reset – clear all form fields, scans, images, and recordings
  • Recall – retrieve the last submission for editing
  • Leads – takes user to the Review Submissions page
  • Scan – scan a name badge or business card (depending on if those elements are on the form

Floating Buttons

The Floating Buttons are an alternative menu style to the Buttons Menu. Instead of displaying across the bottom of the form, the buttons can be shown/hidden by tapping an icon. 

  • Submit – submit current submission
  • Reset – clear all form fields, scans, images, and recordings
  • Recall – retrieve the last submission for editing
  • Leads – takes user to the Review Submissions page
  • Scan – scan a name badge or business card (depending on if those elements are on the form

Sections

Your event coordinator may have organized your form into sections. Sections will contain multiple fields. You might see Sections for contact data, survey questions, etc. Simple tap on a section to see its fields. 

Business Card Capture

To use the business card capture tool, tap the boxes to activate your devices camera. The left box is for the front of the card, the right box is for the back of the card. You can also capture almost any form of written document using this element.

For resumes and other documents, make sure to focus on contact data rather than trying to fit the entire document into the frame. Remember, you can always use the Back business card element to capture additional details. See the Resume Capture Examples below.


To make sure Lead Liaison can accurately transcribe the data, be sure to:

  • Keep relevant contact data in the frame

  • Allow your device to focus

  • Keep the device steady while taking pictures

  • Keep the document in good lighting

  • Review the image after you have taken it

After taking a picture, you can tap the thumbnail image for additional options.

  • Remove – remove the image and start over
  • View image – view the full-size image of the card
  • Camera – take a different image with the device camera
  • Choose from Library – choose a different image from the device's library
  • Cancel – close the menu

Badge Scan

If you are using badge scanning at your event

  • Tap on the form
  • Tap Capture
  • Tap the Scan badge button on the form
  • Line up the barcode on the badge with the on-screen overlay until the device beeps
  • Fill in any remaining fields that were not captured
  • Tap the Submit button in the top-right corner of the screen when complete

Badge scanning also works in offline mode. When the device is offline, you will see a green success message letting you know the scan was successful. Once you see this message, you can hit Submit. The app will fill in the scanned fields once it is back online.

If you want to scan your own badge, you can click on the camera icon in the top-right corner of the scanning screen to switch to your device's front camera.

NFC Badges

Some providers use NFC name badges instead of a barcode. In these cases, your device will scan an RFID chip embedded in the badge. Not all devices support NFC scanning, so be sure to check your device prior to your event. Notably, any iPhone prior to the iPhone 7 is not compatible.


Rapid Scan

If you are using Rapid Scan at your event

  • Tap on the form
  • Tap Rapid Scan
  • If your form has both the business card and badge scan elements, pick which element to use

If using the badge scanner

  • Line up the barcode with the on-screen overlay until the device beeps
  • On iOS, tap cancel when complete

OR

  • On Android tap the back button when complete

When in Rapid Scan mode, the app will not process the same badge twice. If you accidentally scan the same person's badge multiple times, you will not see duplicate submissions.

The app will not begin processing submissions until after you exit Rapid Scan. Once you have exited, the system will run the codes through the show Organizer's API and upload to Lead Liaison's server. Depending on the number of scans, this will take several minutes.

Here is a quick video overview:

If using the business card reader

  • Line up the business card with the on-screen overlay
  • Make sure contact data is clear and in the frame
  • Tap the Circle button to take an image

  • Tap the small preview thumbnails to delete an image
  • Tap the X button to finish

Here is a quick video overview of using rapid scan for business cards:

The business cards will not be sent for Transcription until after you have exited Rapid Scan. Once you exit, the system will upload the badge scans to the selected transcription portal. Depending on the number of images, this may take several minutes.

Group Scan

You can capture multiple leads from the same group or company with the Group Scan feature. Multiple people can be scanned in rapid succession. The first person scanned is always the primary person for the group. All data from the primary person’s submission, besides their contact information, is copied to every other person in the group. When enabled, the standard badge scan button will be split into two buttons, with the smaller group scan button off to the right.

 All survey responses, notes, questions and follow up documentation settings will apply to the entire group. To enable Group Scan as an option, turn on the  toggle in the Settings tab of the Scanner element.
