Gleanin is a marketing platform that creates campaigns for participants to become event advocates by sharing their registration and attendance on social media via customized links.

Sessionboard users can connect their events with Gleanin and sync session and speaker data (future: sponsors) from Sessionboard to Gleanin. Once speakers are synced, their Gleanin share links will be available to distribute from their speaker portal.

This one-way integration is a user-friendly process that facilitates data transfer to Gleanin once users have approved and scheduled their sessions in Sessionboard.

Integrations are connected on the organization level in Sessionboard.

After logging in, click “Go to org” to access your integration settings.

There, you can connect new or manage existing integrations. To connect a new integration, click the “Connect” button below the integration.

For Gleanin, enter the API token associated with your event.

Once the integration is connected, a window will appear prompting you to map your Gleanin events with Sessionboard events. Select the Gleanin event from the dropdown list, then choose the Sessionboard event in the right-hand dropdown.

Click “Add Mapping” to complete the mapping process.

To remove event mappings, go to Organization -> Integrations and click Settings.

This will open the mapping window. A list of existing mappings will be displayed. Click “Remove Mapping” to disconnect specific mapped events.

Before initiating a sync, ensure that you have reviewed and accepted the sessions that you want to sync to Gleanin. Sessions must have a date and time to be synced.

Sessionboard is not able to sync speakers to existing contacts in Gleanin. To ensure a seamless syncing of data, we require you to delete/disconnect contacts within Gleanin that have similar email addresses as speakers within Sessionboard.

Also, verify that the timezone matches in both events before syncing. To do this in Sessionboard, go to the Details page, then confirm a timezone based on GMT offset.

Sessionboard will endeavor to sync as much data between systems as possible. It is important to use system fields when possible to collect information about your sessions and speakers to ensure they will be successfully matched.

Below is a list of standard fields that will be synced. Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

Sessions

Speakers

Gleanin supports the ability to sync exhibitors and generate custom share links for each team member. The process to sync will be available from the Exhibitors tab. Links will be available for each exhibitor's primary contact in the Exhibitor portal.

Currently, syncing is a one-step process. There is no ability to sync individual sessions or speakers.

On resync, new sessions and speakers that have been added to the agenda in Sessionboard will be sent to Gleanin. Any updates that are made to previously synced fields (such as correcting a speaker’s title or changing a session time) will also be applied.

Sessions and speakers that are deleted or modified in Sessionboard will also be deleted or modified in Gleanin on the next sync. However, we recommend completing the bulk of your edits in Sessionboard prior to initiating a sync, then edit in the partner platform post-sync.

Once Gleanin links are available for each speaker or contact, they will be shown in the Sessionboard portal under “Share Your Attendance”.

To disconnect from the integration, go to Organization -> Integrations

Once the integration is disconnected, you can reconnect using a separate API token, or reuse the same credentials.

Disconnecting the integration will cause future syncs to fail, but will not affect previously synced data in Gleanin.
