| Lead retrieval + CRM sync WebMobi: no exhibitor lead retrieval or CRM sync in the product today (see /lead-retrieval-app); a CRM connection is scoped in an enterprise contract. RingCentral Events: lead retrieval sits on the unpriced upper tiers. | ||

Out of the box there is a read API, an MCP server for AI assistants and CSV export; for enterprise contracts we deploy the solution to the customer's requirements, so a CRM connection is scoped as part of the contract. | Enterprise contract | |
| Open API access | ||

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose recordings if I switch?
+
No — export your recordings via the built-in download tool, then upload to WebMobi's on-demand library. Past-event content stays accessible to your attendee community.
Does WebMobi support hybrid (in-person + livestream)?
+
Yes — that's the primary differentiator. The same event has both an in-person check-in/badge workflow and a livestream/virtual lobby. Attendees of both modes share one attendee record. Networking is in private beta — request activation at /demo or support@webmobi.com.
How long does migration take?
+
Average 2 weeks. Week 1: data export + page rebuild + branding. Week 2: dry run + go-live — with integrations scoped for enterprise contracts. Faster if you're not mid-event-cycle.
