ExpoFP Integration Guide

Overview

This guide explains how to connect Bridged with ExpoFP to read event content including exhibitor data, booth information, floor plans, and session schedules. The integration supports reading this data for activation, qualification, and nurture playbooks where event context is needed.

ExpoFP is a specialized platform for interactive floor plans and exhibition space management. It provides booth mapping, exhibitor management, and wayfinding capabilities for trade shows and expos.

Primary Use Case: Read Event Content

For Bridged's event experience integrations, the primary use case is reading event-related data, including:

Floor plan data

Navigational assistance for attendees

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • An ExpoFP account with API access

  • Your API Token (found in Profile → API Token)
