Zapier Integration now Available for Dryfta

Zapier logo

Using Dryfta API, you can create your own apps and integrate Dryfta platform with third-party web applications. However, most customers are not able to make use of APIs due to lack of developer resources and funds. Zapier makes it very easy for customers without technical know-how to use Dryfta API for automating workflows between Dryfta and third-party apps.

What is Zapier
Zapier is a task automation tool which connects Dryfta with other web apps eg. Hubspot, Salesforce, Mailchimp etc and automates workflows between them. With Zapier, your data is moved between your apps automatically so you and your team can focus on more important work. For example, to move contacts from Dryfta to Hubspot CRM, simply connect these apps using Zapier’s triggers & actions and it would automatically sync data between Dryfta & Hubspot every 15 minutes.

Send Automated SMS notifications to Speakers about Upcoming Sessions

Need to make sure speakers are around when their session comes up during the event? Want attendees to fill up the seats prior to the session so you can assess if more seats need to be made available?

Stop worrying and set up automated SMS notifications. Dryfta’s automated SMS notification system notifies/reminds speakers and attendees about upcoming sessions. The SMS based notifications are sent to speaker’s registered phone number an hour before the session begins. This provides ample time to the speakers to reach the venue in time and do some final preparations for the session.

LinkedIn Company Pages is now integrated with Dryfta Organizations Manager

Dryfta-LinkedIn-integration

We have been working on this integration for some time now. Although, this is only the first version of the LinkedIn Company integration with Dryfta platform, we have laid out the basics. In future versions, we would be able to fetch real time news and updates from company pages. However, since this data is coming from a third-party, most of what is possible depends on LinkedIn’s policies related to its data use.

In our first LinkedIn company integration, we have created a tool to manage Organizations listings. Admins can add companies under Organizations tab and later use it to add contacts. Organizations also list the companies and organizations as added by users during registration. Each organization would have basic information including country and HQ location along with the complete list of contacts from that organization.
