Can I make changes to my app after I publish it?
Absolutely. If at any point you need to make a change, just jump right back into our system, make those edits, and hit Publish. Within seconds, your updates will be live. And, if you need to send any last-minute notifications to your users, you can do that straight from your phone or tablet with our Mobile Admin capabilities.
Why are event app integrations so important?
Integrations pair with your existing technology, increasing its value and enabling you to manage processes more efficiently. For example, with Guidebook’s integrations, you can connect your CRM, event registration system, and marketing software together and control everything from within your app Builder. Our advice is to ensure your event app platform offers useful integrations that are designed to help you. Like insurance, you may never think you need it until you do.
Do you offer any event app integrations?
Yes! We know how hectic using multiple event planning tools can be, so we integrated our app Builder with the tools event planners use most. We currently connect with Eventbrite, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Marketo, Cvent, Stova, and Splash. Need something else? Contact us to learn more about how our Open API works and how it can benefit you.
Can I really generate sponsorship revenue?
Some of our higher ed customers have been able to generate sponsorship revenue from their apps. Book a demo with our product experts today and we will walk you through how to monetise engaged app audiences. Other departments or sponsors want to get in front of students through banner ads, sponsored in-app social feed posts, push notifications, and more.
Can I build this on my own?
I’m not very technical…
Yes, you can. If you can send an email or put together a few basic PowerPoint slides, you can build an app on our platform. Most of our customers would not describe themselves as ‘techy.’
Of course. Guidebook’s award-winning customer success team has reps in the US, and we pride ourselves on fast response times, and becoming a trusted advisor to you and your team.
