Feature Focus: Third-Party Integration

November 21, 2024

ElectionBuddy makes managing your voting process easier by allowing you to integrate with applications you already use. These integrations streamline the entire process, saving you time and effort at every step.

Integrations Every Step of the Way

Administrator SSO (Single Sign-On)

If your organization already uses a shared login system for other applications, ElectionBuddy integrates with Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication, so administrators can use their same login credentials for ElectionBuddy. Manage user access efficiently by controlling ElectionBuddy access directly from your identity management system.

For example, if you use Microsoft Azure Entra, new users who join your organization can automatically gain access to ElectionBuddy, and access can be easily revoked when they leave. This integration simplifies large-scale administration and ensures compliance with your organization’s password and access policies.

Voter List Integration

ElectionBuddy’s voter list integration allows you to easily import voter data from systems you’re already using. Whether it’s from your internal lists (e.g., Excel or Google Sheets) or an external system (e.g., Vantaca or Mailchimp), you can add voter information with just a few clicks—no need for CSV files or manual data entry, though we support those too.

This saves you valuable time while providing a seamless experience for voters.

Voter Ballot Access

ElectionBuddy directly connects with your system to authenticate voters, ensuring only eligible members can access the voting site. This integration streamlines the voter authentication process by automatically checking each voter's credentials to confirm they are eligible before voting.

For instance, if a new member joins or an outstanding dues payment is processed, you can ensure the voter can participate in the election after  any membership requirements are met or fees are paid. This integration saves time for administrators and helps voters gain access to voting without delay as once the steps are completed they will automatically gain access to vote, while ensuring members have paid their dues!

Video Conference Voting

ElectionBuddy allows you to integrate your online meetings and video conferences (using Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and others) directly into the voting process. By linking your video conference to the ElectionBuddy platform, voters can easily move between the live meeting and voting in real-time.

Once your meeting is scheduled, simply add the meeting link to your ElectionBuddy page. This integration helps participants easily manage both the video conference and voting in one convenient place.

Results and Reports

After voting ends, ElectionBuddy automatically generates results that can be displayed on your website. Whether you need results for a single vote or a comprehensive list of all your votes, ElectionBuddy’s API makes it easy to present the results directly on your site, in a format that matches your existing design.

By integrating with your website, ElectionBuddy ensures your voters can easily access the results in a familiar environment. You can also use the API to customize the results display to meet your specific formatting requirements.

Voter Engagement

Track voter participation effortlessly with ElectionBuddy’s integration options. You can set up webhooks and use Zapier to receive real-time updates each time a vote is cast. These updates can be used to notify your internal systems or update members with their engagement metrics as needed.

This integration helps you stay on top of voter turnout and keeps your team informed about who has voted.
