| imageLink: ‘%IMAGELINK%’, |
| }) |
| </script> |
| The conditional MapTab flag is new. |
| 1. If there is no address in the contact record, set to 0. The system will display the hotel page which will allow them to look up the company name or start typing an address and it will complete. |
| 2. If you have a full address or just city/state, set to 1, it will default to the map. If there is no %STREET%, the hotel widget will default to the text in the portal for address, which is instructional on looking up the exact address. |
| Once you have the code installed, contact us with the test link and we will help to test on multiple platforms and on multiple browsers. |

It allows you to embed trip planning on any page in your system or on your site or blog where there is a contact with an address. A venue can be a physical place, like a company or a museum, or it can be a location like a park or a beach. As long as we can pinpoint a latitude/longitude, we can “trip enable” the contact record.
This tool is distinct from the Event widget in that the dates of travel are relative to the date that the tool is displayed, e.g. travel 7 days from today for 1 night.

[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Private Label Branding”]Can we use our own brand? Absolutely!
For a one time fee of $1500 you can provide your own header artwork to us for the booking back end.[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Unique Aspects of the Integration” icon=”icon icon-plugin”][boc_accordion_section rounded=”yes” with_bgr=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”External System Interaction”]The TripProximity widget interacts with the following systems:
- Google Places for lookup of the venues and addresses in the address field
- Google Maps for lookup of the latitude/longitude of any address
Once the input from the widget is received, we pass a search string to our booking system. It contains:
- Brand to be displayed in the booking system
- Travel parameters
- Tracking information to provide reporting back to you for each client
[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”CSS”]The widget has its own style sheet that governs the display of the widget within a container.
[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Rules for Display”]The widget can be populated with event and venue information, as well as contact information. Ideally, the widget needs the full address to do a lookup of the hotels nearby.
If you only have a city/state, we recommend that you use the conditional map field to display the map with city/state, but to prompt the user to use the Google Places functionality to look up the name of the organization, venue or street address of the place that they are going.
The date fields for events can be coupled with a business rule. For instance if you have an event that begins before noon, you may want to set the date of arrival to 1 day before the event begins. If the event ends after 3pm, you may want to set the date of departure to 1 day after the event.
Just a reminder, even if there is no address or a partial address (city/state), our new widget with the Google Places lookup can find the precise address of the venue or company that they are visiting (even a Starbucks or TopGolf! or finding a hotel near someone’s house that works from home).[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Static or Dynamic Widget”]The static widget contains the following:
async onload=”tripWidget()”
The dynamic widget does not load asynchronously. If you turn on the dynamic flag in the portal in the widget editor, it removes that line from the code snippet that is generated. If you try to install a dynamic widget directly into an HTML container on WordPress, it will NOT render.[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Marketing Smart Trip Planning” icon=”icon icon-plugin”][boc_accordion_section rounded=”yes” with_bgr=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”Press Release Draft”]FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Greenrope Contact:

AGE-OLD BUSINESS PROBLEM SOLVED BY GREENROPE AND TRIPROXIMITY
The phone call asking business contact “where should I stay?”is now obsolete.
SOLANA BEACH, CA February XX, 2018 — To ease CRM user’s speed in planning face-to-face meetings that require an overnight stay, GreenRope has launched a new “Visit” tab on every Contact Record in its popular complete CRM system. Leveraging the smart trip technology of TripProximity, the “Visit” tab enables users to plan a visit with driving directions and smart search of hotels nearby.
“It’s smart to bring trip planning closer to the motivation for the trip. It’s a challenge I’ve faced many a time. I finish a call agreeing to meet at a client’s office – only to realize “where is the heck should I stay?” said Lars Helgeson, GreenRope CEO/Founder. “Partnering with TripProximity to integrate smart trip technology makes life easier for every business person hitting the road.”
The new GreenRope Contact Record “Visit” tab is context sensitive to that contact record. It auto-fills a search for hotels nearby, driving directions and more from the address in your contact record.
“Don’t have an address for the company? No problem, with our smart trip technology, you can search for the address right within the Visit tab. The tool lets you take care of important trip logistics right in your CRM work flow, and frees your mind to focus on the “deal” you are working on. GreenRope users can choose the properties that meet their proximity, brand, price and amenity preferences at over 980,000 hotel properties worldwide,“ said Chicke Fitzgerald, CEO and Founder of Solutionz, the smart trip tech behind TripProximity. “GreenRope demonstrates its passion for their customers’ experience by implementing the TripProximity smart trip tool in their product.”
