Q: Could you answer some questions for me, please?
1. I want to have a biz directory for martial arts clubs in the UK and would like to know if the club listing allows the owner to create the following on their profile ...
- Offers/deals or promo section
- Lead generation forms that go thru the directory as well as to the owner so we can track how many leads that club gets
- Events calendar - like competitions, gradings, etc.
- Appointment booking
2. Can we add our own chatbot (or intercom) or other 3rd party apps?
3. Do you have any 3rd party integrations? I would be interested in zapier like apps.
Asking these as I am looking at a WordPress option with a good online directory theme (Listing Pro) that has a lot of features and wanted to know if i can use your platform instead. https://listingprowp.com/en/features.html
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

---The features above are included with all AppSumo deal tiers.
- Events calendar - like competitions, gradings, etc.
--- The ability for members to post and search events is included with all AppSumo deal tiers. If you would like display all events on an interactive calendar, we have a Add-On for that: https://www.brilliantdirectories.com/simple-events-calendar
This particular Add-On is not one of the "Top 20 Customer Favorites" that are included with the AppSumo deals, but if you purchase a Tier 3, 4, or 5 deal, you will receive a 75% off coupon that can be applied to purchasing this Add-On or other products from our website for the rest of 2021. Doing so would bring the cost of this Add-On down to just $2.50 / month or $22.50 / year.
- Appointment booking
---This is not currently a native feature, but there are many platforms dedicated solely to this functionality that can be integrated with the site if needed.
2. Can we add our own chatbot (or intercom) or other 3rd party apps?
--- Any chatbot or other functionality that can be added as embedded javascript can be added to the site.
3. Do you have any 3rd party integrations? I would be interested in zapier like apps.
--- Wee have native integrations with Google Maps, Google Analytics, reCaptcha, Sendgrid, Google Login, Facebook Login, Facebook Messenger, ShareaSale, and PostAffiliatePro. We also have a Zapier integration on our roadmap that we expect to be released later this year.
Asking these as I am looking at a WordPress option with a good online directory theme (Listing Pro) that has a lot of features and wanted to know if i can use your platform instead. https://listingprowp.com/en/features.html
--- I would recommend looking through the reviews here on the AppSumo page left by users who had previously set up a Wordpress directory and are now comparing that experience to Brilliant Directories. I think you may find them informative. :)
Hi DVBiz!
We have some new updates regarding your question about Zapier / Pabbly connect. :)
Based on the feedback of Sumolings and our own community, we have begun adding broad platform integrations through our new Webhooks functionality. This functionality is part of the "Developer Tools" currently included in the Tier 5 AppSumo plan.
With the current functionality, data submitted through forms on a Brilliant Directories website can also optionally be sent to any Webhook URL, including Zapier, Pabbly Connect, an individual Platform API endpoint, or any other URL that can receive POST data.
The types of forms that currently support this functionality include new member sign ups, lead submissions, newsletter signups, "Contact Us" form submissions, and member review submissions.
In the coming weeks we also have another update on the way which will support sending the data of posts created or edited by members to a Webhook URL as well (articles, events, properties, coupons, etc).
And in the coming months we plan to roll out additional functionality to also receive data from other platforms through our own API Endpoints. This will allow creating members, posts, leads, and reviews based on data submitted from another platform.
For more information about the Webhooks functionality, please see this video (https://www.brilliantdirectories.com/blog/send-brilliant-directories-website-member-data-to-mailchimp-using-zapier) and this article from our documentation (https://bootstrap.brilliantdirectories.com/support/solutions/articles/12000083005). And here is an article showing an example of sending data to Zapier using a Webhook (https://bootstrap.brilliantdirectories.com/support/solutions/articles/12000082977).
