HI guys!
First off thanks for everything you do - you produce a great system!
Do you have a published roadmap for dataexchange? I have three efforts that our pastoral staff is really asking our techteam to take on, and if we can do it as a part of F1 or integrated with F1, then all the better.
The first effort is to have kiosk-based online giving. We would like to have a touchscreen-based application which allows people to walk up, scan their ID card to log into their account, and scan their credit/debit card to give their tithe or offering. There are three ways this could happen:
- You produce an app that does this - obviously we would love this :)
- You allow secure submission of contributions, including credit cards to be run, through the DE API.
- You allow submission of contribution records for informational purposes, and we will actually scan the cards.
The second effort is to have kiosk-based event registration and payment. Again this would be a touchscreen-based application which allows people to walk up, scan their ID card, select the event, register, and pay for the registration with a credit card. Payment options would be the same as in the first project, and for registration information:
- You produce an app that does this - again hooray for you guys if you do!!!
- You allow obtaining the weblink form 2.0 information through the DE API, and allow submission of form registrations through the DE API.
The third effort is to have a touch-screen map-based small group locator. We would like for people to walk up, choose whether they would like to see groups by interest or location, and if they choose location see a map of the area. They would click on their location, and a list of close groups would pop up. Possibly, we could even allow them to 'register' through the kiosk, which would submit a contact through the DE API. I realize you are unlikely to build this app, and we could even do standalone from F1 completely, but it would be nice if we could pull up the list of groups from here.
The fourth thing I would like to see is the ability to submit contacts through the DE API. I would like to be able to publish our own forms, flash forms for example, and have them submit contacts into F1 to be worked by servant leaders.
Again, thanks for all you do!
