Q: Direct iFrame HTML Code Embed? & Workspaces!

Hi!

Your tool seems amazing, and I would love to use it for reaching out to organizations that might be interested in our "Working with Street Children" online learning community, and some purpose-built applications for that field.

I saw that you have the "embed any link" option, which then uses an external tool to create an iFrame for it. In my experience this often fails. For our use case it will be crucial to have REAL iFrame Embedding available, through pasting in an iFrame HTML Code ourselves, directly.

Will this be available soon? Please let me know - because without it, your tool won't be of much use for us.

Hope to hear from you soon. Would still love to purchase T2 (maybe T3)...

Thanks loads!
Meindert

P.S. I also want to use it with 3 parallel Brands: can we please have Workspaces / Sub-companies?

A: Hey there, yes HTML code is also something we will provide soon!

Did you try the embed any link option and you had experience where the links did not display and you think HTML code would do a better job here?

-> EVERY TEAM IS A SEPARATE BILLING ACCOUNT - you would therefore have to buy three Tiers.

Q: 1) B2C? 2) Locking steps? 3) Limiting the buyer's ability to add steps?

1. Most of the questions/reviews I’ve seen for this product are for B2B use. Can this be used for B2C use such as coaching clients? When selecting the buyer companies come up when using the search. Can client's name be used instead? Would you recommend this product for B2C?
2. It appears there is no option to switch off the buyer's ability to add next steps to the Next step section is that correct?
3. It looks like you can't lock steps, which seems odd. If you wanted to use Along for sales purposes, you would expect to be able to lock steps/materials/ability to schedule calls after purchase . I've been through your knowledge base and tested the software it does not appear as a feature. People who click on the link have full access. Can this not be done with a Notion page?

Thanks

A: Hey there,

Let me give you feedback here:

1. Most of the questions/reviews I’ve seen for this product are for B2B use. Can this be used for B2C use such as coaching clients? When selecting the buyer companies come up when using the search. Can client's name be used instead? Would you recommend this product for B2C?
-> WE FOCUS MAINLY ON B2B BUT WE ALSO HAVE CUSTOMERS THAT SELL B2C.
WHEN YOU ADD THE COMPANY YOU SELL TO, YOU CAN ALSO CREATE AN END CONSUMER THAT YOU WANT TO SELL TO INSTEAD.

2. It appears there is no option to switch off the buyer's ability to add next steps to the Next step section is that correct?
-> YES - FOR NOW, BUYERS CAN FULLY COLLABORATE IN THE ACTION PLAN.

3. It looks like you can't lock steps, which seems odd. If you wanted to use Along for sales purposes, you would expect to be able to lock steps/materials/ability to schedule calls after purchase .

-> I AM CONFUSED WHAT YOU MEAN BY "LOCK TASKS"? YOU CAN COMPLETE TASKS WHICH INTERPRET AS "LOCKING" THEM OR AM I UNDERSTANDING THIS INCORRECTLY.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE TASKS AND PHASES "INTERNAL" WHICH MEANS THEY CANNOT BE VIEWED BY YOUR BUYERS.

Q: Webhook, API (Zapier Alternative)?

Hi,

I’m aboard, License Tier 3. What we need are webhooks, an API. Something other than Zapier. There are so many alternatives at better pricing. We use Integrately as well, but would love webhooks/API.

My questions are: Where can I find the roadmap to vote? Who should I contact for API access while we wait for webhooks as well? Are you planning on an affiliate program?

Thanks

A: Hey there,

I hear you and your feedback.
We are definitely adding webhooks and specific APIs.
For now, you can use the Rest API and the Zapier integration.

You can find the roadmap in your account under "get help" and upvote things there.
Currently, we keep the amount of things shared in the roadmap limited but will add more and share full visibility on what is coming up soon.

There is a referral program in the product directly that you can use to get referral pays for successful referrals.

And yes, in Tier 3 you can directly plug in the Rest API into your system.

I hope my answers help you!

Q: Does it support e-signature & pricing table?

Does it support embedded e-signatures feature (Not third party integration) and pricing tables? I'm considering moving from BetterProposal bcoz this can save my yearly subscription.

A: Hey there,

Both pricing tables and signatures will come later this year.
I cannot give you a specific date.

Best,
Freddy

Q: Focus on connectivity

Instead of connecting just to ONE platform (zapier) why don't you build webhooks? This is just a URL with a post request. Post requests you already have (otherwise you couldn't communicate with zapier). So why not allowed users to add their url? This would enable with ONE function access to n8n, make.com, pabbly, activepieces and many more (they all support webhooks).
I don't get it. Connectivity is THE thing.

And yes - we are working on expanding into webhooks.

I agree that connectivity is very important!
