Project Background

Linkedin App to Manage leads contacted using Linkedin Network.

Attention Seeker came to Peritos with a requirement of developing a customized third party custom LinkedIn app. Their main motto was to manage the leads coming in via LinkedIn and get a consolidated view of the leads in a single page. There was also a dashboard view to show the number of connections and invitations sent during the program. 

Scope & Requirement

In the 1st Phase of the app, implementation was discussed as follows:

  • An app which the user can login and see the data and dashboard in a central place to understand the leads being generated and get a consolidated view
  • User’s profile was integrated to fetch the connections and invitations sent and then using the list marking the leads which are qualified for the next level 
  • Whenever a lead was marked the user was notified via email so they could take over and do the follow up action needed.

• Backend Code: .NET Core, C#, Node.js
• Mobile App code: React Native
• Web App code: ReactJS 
• Database: SQL Server, MongoDB
• Cloud: Microsoft Azure

Backup and Recovery

Cloud systems and components used in the attendance management system are secure and 99.99% SLA. We have added HA/DR mechanism to create a replica of the services 

Scalability

Application is designed to scale up to 10X times the average load received in the 1st 6 months of its usage and all cloud resources are configured for auto-scaling based on the load

Cost Optimization 

Alerts and notifications are configured in the attendance management system to notify if the budget is being exceeded.  Peritos being a cloud partner is managing the environment for the client keeping a close watch on the cost and finding ways to optimize the same 

Code Management, Deployment

Code for the app is handed over to the client through Microsoft AppCenter. 

CI/CD is implemented to automatically add, build and deploy any code changes 

Features of App to manage linkedIn leads

  • For logging in user can do a single sign on using LinkedIn Account
  • AttentionSeeker can mark one of the invitations or connections sent as lead which then sends a notification to the user so they could follow up with the lead 
  • A dashboard view of how many connections were sent and accepted shown over days . Months and custom Time period 
  • User was able to add other users, clients and admin on the portal

Challenges

  • To transfer the data from the LinkedIn app was a challenge as the APIs were not available.
    • We had to use UI Path instead.
  • We needed the authentication to be stored centrall but it had to be encrpypted so it is not misused. 
    • Data was stored in a UIpath Key store where after storing it was not visible. 

Project Completion

Duration

April 2020 – Sep 2020 ~ 6 months 

Deliverables

  • Delivered a Web App which smoothly automates and manages the leads for each of AttentionSeeker clients ensuring the data gets stored in the app and the client can see the progress made by the Attention Seeker team thus saving time to have frequent calls to update them on the progress. 
  • A customized design of the app was discussed with the client
  • Training and handover in using the app and explaing how the users and other clients can be easily onboarded. 

Support

Testimonial

Next Phase

Project ended and we helped client to move to a support model

1. Ongoing Support for the management of the app and answer any how to questions 

2. Make sure that the UI Path continues to run smoothly and uploads the end user data on the app
