Hello Tess Web API gurus,
Has anyone developed or used a simple web app that uses the Tessitura Web API to handle only the creation of a constituent record with name/address/email and minimal extra data such as date of birth and interests?
I am investigating ways for us to enable customers to streamline their own constituent record creation on PC terminals (or tablets) in our lobby.
Cheers,
Nicholas
Nicholas,
When you say web app, are you referring to an iPhone app, or literally a web app that lives on an iis server someplace and you access using a browser?
What fields specifically were you looking to capture (other than the bread and butter ones)?

Hi Ryan,
I was thinking of a literal web app that was accessed through a browser, but was linked to Tess via the API.
The main field that I would like to capture is a date field for the 'Birthday' attribute.
It would also be helpful to capture Interests to allow the customer to choose some relevant mailing lists, or even enter a competition via selecting an Interest.
Best,
Hi Nicholas,
The Tessitura web development team did a presentation on constituent management using the RESTful API at this year's conference and have made available the code for the sample .NET application used during the demonstration. It appears to do pretty much what you are after.
The code is available in the conference archives:

Very nice, thank you Patrick!
I will 'huddle' with our ICT team to install this and hopefully expand it to include Attributes (like dob).
