Product roadmap

We’ve listened, we’ve learned, and we’ve heard you. Thank you to all our customers for sharing their experiences via our Bug Blitz and Product Roadmap sessions at AirTime.

We now have a selection of clear priorities solely focused on improving performance, fixing bugs, and identifying additional features or functionality in core areas of EventsAir. Based on your feedback, our priorities are:

• Attendee experience: This is our highest priority. We want to make your attendees’ lives as easy as possible and we’re already working on updates and fixes to support this.
• Contact administration: Ensuring contact administration is as efficient and streamlined as possible is essential.
• Broad fixes and updates: We also have a broader set of fixes and updates that focus on comms, reporting, and dashboards.

As a Christmas treat for our customers, we will also be releasing our Product Portal. This will be your new, go-to space for even greater insights and transparency from the Product team. You’ll be able to review our roadmap, and get an up-to-date glimpse into upcoming, current, and future releases. Keep an eye on your inbox for this access.

CRM Smart Connectors

Smart Connectors are your no-code solution for easy, reliable, and secure integrations. We understand that you may not have access to development resources to take advantage of our API framework – this is where our Smart Connectors come in. Our vision is to build out our world-class API with a repeatable and consistent process that directly connects you to the systems that you use every day. 

Our Smart Connectors build a foundation of configurable, pre-packaged integrations for every customer. Smart Connectors will save you hundreds of hours of work as we continually improve, upgrade, monitor, and support your Smart Connectors for you.

Right now, we have Smart Connectors available for popular CRM platforms:

• Salesforce
• Microsoft Dynamics
• HubSpot

Next, we will be releasing Connectors to Marketo and popular accounting software, such as Xero and QuickBooks.
