Feature

Supported?

Yes

Yes

Supported streams

This integration is supporting the following Map Your Show streams

The integration is using /Exhibitors/Modified to retrieve Exhibitor with fromDate and toDate filtering.

Capturing deleted records

The Map Your Show integration does NOT capture deletions for records in the Exhibitors, Contacts streams.

When a record is deleted on Map Your Show, it needs to be MANUALY deleted on Swapcard accordingly.

Stream Dependencies

In the context of integration functionalities, records are automatically linked with their corresponding records within Swapcard. For instance, if Exhibitor are associated with a Contact on Map Your Show, the integration will replicate these dependencies within Swapcard.

Exhibitors โ†’ Contacts

The Map Your Show integration automatically links the Contacts from Map Your Show with their respective Exhibitors from Map Your Show and creates the corresponding Exhibitor Member on Swapcard.

The integration utilizes the contacts field from the Exhibitors stream.

The exhid of Exhibitors is employed as the main identifier to uniquely link records and store them within the Client Id field on the Swapcard side.

For Contacts, the integration is using a combination of exhId and email and stores them within the Client Id field on the Swapcard side.
