  <Card title="API + Webhooks" icon="code">
    **Best for:** Real-time sync with full metadata access.

    Use the Public API to query sessions, speakers, contacts, sponsors, and exhibitors on demand. Combine with webhooks to receive push notifications when data changes, eliminating the need to poll for updates.

  <Card title="Embeds" icon="window">
    **Best for:** One-off integrations and website embeds.

    Sessionboard provides JSON, XML, and HTML feed URLs for your event data. Embed feeds are refreshed every 60 minutes and require no authentication. Use them to display session listings, speaker directories, or schedules on your website.

    <br />

    Configure embed feeds from **Event Settings > Integrations > Embeds** in the Sessionboard admin dashboard.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Zapier" icon="bolt">
    **Best for:** Connecting to thousands of apps without code.

    The Sessionboard Zapier integration (currently in beta) lets you trigger workflows in tools like Slack, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and more when data changes in Sessionboard.

    <br />

    Contact [support@sessionboard.com](mailto:support@sessionboard.com) to enable Zapier for your organization.

  <Card title="Data Exports" icon="file-export">
    **Best for:** One-time data snapshots and reporting.

    Export XLSX or CSV files directly from any list view in the Sessionboard admin dashboard. Exports include all visible columns and can be filtered before downloading.

    <br />

    Use the export button in the top-right corner of any list view (sessions, speakers, contacts, etc.).
