About Popl

Popl is a digital business card and lead capture platform that uses NFC technology and QR codes to enable instant contact sharing and networking. Professionals and teams use Popl to replace traditional paper business cards with smart, customizable digital profiles that can be shared with a simple tap or scan, while capturing and managing leads through an AI-powered mobile app.

The Popl API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using secure API keys generated through the Popl Teams Admin dashboard with role-based access control.

• Query leads, contacts, members, and analytics data with filtering and pagination.

• Create or update lead records with custom tags, notes, qualifying responses, and enrichment data.

• Export contact information to external CRMs and sync databases across multiple systems.

• Subscribe to lead capture events through webhooks for real-time synchronization and automated workflows.

Why Integrate Popl with Emergent

Connecting Popl directly often requires setting up API clients, managing secure API keys, mapping lead properties, handling webhooks, dealing with rate limits, syncing with multiple CRMs, and building a complete user interface. Each integration can quickly turn into a complex engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Property-aware mapping: Emergent understands Popl's lead properties, custom tags, qualifying questions, and contact fields, helping you map data accurately across CRM systems and marketing tools.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling and SOC 2 compliance requirements.

• Real-time workflows: Webhooks, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability and consistency across lead capture events.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine Popl with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets, and Mailchimp to build complete systems such as lead scoring engines, automated follow-up pipelines, event tracking dashboards, and networking analytics platforms.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure event triggers using Popl webhooks for new lead captures, card taps, or contact updates. Set up scheduled syncs or define on-demand actions such as button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate lead syncing and CRM updates, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits and retries.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.
