This guide will walk you through how to set up Splash's integration with Guidebook and start with event creation in Splash and event management in Guidebook.

How the integration works

The Guidebook integration automatically creates Guides from Splash events and fills in your Guide with your Splash attendees. Guides can be used as mobile apps for event attendees to get event information like dates, locations, and activities.

Note: If you have an existing Guidebook Guide, you cannot connect your Splash events to it.

With this integration, information can effortlessly be passed from Splash to the Guide created in Guidebook.

• Pass guest data like RSVPs, imported guest lists, or manually added guests (first name, last name, email, company, job title, and website information) when they have an attending status.
• Pass existing RSVPs upon the first creation of a Guide.
• Pass new RSVPs while the Guide is connected to Splash.
• After a re-connect, any new RSVP(s) will be synced and updated in the Guide. Updates and deletions to the RSVPs will not be synced. Also, when there is no connection (integration is disabled), the data will not be synced.
• Can support small, medium, and large events (up to 10,000 attendees) on the integration.

Specifically, this integration:

• Automatically creates Guides in Guidebook when a Splash event is connected.
• Sends Splash event details (location, start and end date, and event title) to Guidebook.

This integration is available at the organization level. It is set up in your Integrations tab and can be configured to apply to all events, certain groups' events, or specific event types.

This integration does not:

• Sync any Splash guests to Guidebook with a status other than Attending.
• Sync any registrant data from Guidebook to Splash. This includes first name, last name, email address, etc.
• Pass branding images and theme colors from Splash to the guide in Guidebook. For more information see how to brand your app and branding specifications.
• Pass session and speaker data from Splash. This requires manual setup on Guidebook. For more information see how to set up your sessions and how to set up your speaker list.
• Pass updates or any data from Guidebook (event, attendee data) back to Splash.

Understand the basic terminology

• Events in Splash are called Guides in Guidebook.
• Spaces (Branded Space) is the layer between your guide and the app your guide is available on, whether the Guidebook app or a Branded app.
• App is a shell containing your space and guides. Each app contains at least one guide. An app will have a theme (with logos and colors). You can customize the theme with the Branded plan.
