How OpenWater and Personify work together
Personify (formerly TMA) is the database of choice for many professional societies and trade associations. When using OpenWater to collect nominations for awards, submissions for a call for papers, or votes for a board of elections our integration ensures a seamless user experience for your members. When the information is processed it is also sent back to Personify to your whole team can see data in one place.
Your members login using the credentials they already have with your organization. After being validated, they will be sent over to OpenWater with their information pre-populated. This is a true single sign on in the sense that if a member is already logged into your platform they will seamlessly be logged into OpenWater. When they sign out of OpenWater they will also be logged out of Personify.
Member Specific Pricing
If you use OpenWater to charge submission fees, we can make use of the customer information and membership status to help determine their pricing.
Optional Support for Non-Member Account Access
Some use cases need both Member and non-Members to access OpenWater. We have you covered with a toggle setting you can use on a workflow by workflow basis to enable guest access.
We can harness the power of Personify Data right inside an OpenWater application. One of the most common uses of lookups are to ensure authors associated with a conference abstract are correctly identified. See this in action:
Activity Push Back
We can push back notes and activities regarding participation in an awards program or winner status.
Finance Push Back
Revenue collected from OpenWater can be pushed back into Personify so that your finance department can look at a single source of data for payments reconciliation.
