      Playeasy Elements

      This article is your complete guide to Playeasy Elements, our newest launch that empowers Destinations to connect their Playeasy content to live on their own website. Read below for how it works, FAQ and live examples.

      What is Playeasy Elements? 

      Playeasy Elements powers your Playeasy content to live directly on your Destination's website​. This add-on allows your Destination's Facility, Attraction, Promotion, and Event Marketplace to fully exist on your website with dynamic filters. Your individual Facility profiles, Event pages, etc. will also exist on your website with the full Playeasy experience, all while keeping viewers on your own site. 

      How does it work?

      Just a few lines of code to embed to your site

      • Playeasy provides you a short piece of custom code to seamlessly embed on any section of your website. Simply insert the code & watch your Playeasy content dynamically appear in real-time.
      • This custom code could be used on as many pages as you'd like on your site!
      • Playeasy Elements automatically matches your website's default fonts, and we can work with you to customize your primary and secondary color choices.

      12. Can we track analytics? 
        1. You will have complete analytics dashboards on Playeasy, which will display how many views and clicks are happening on your website, versus which are happening on Playeasy, which views are arriving through organic Google search, and more.
        2. These analytics will give you granular access to data like never before, allowing you to track the actual impact events have on your entire community - from event page views to redemptions on local promotions being marketed by your community.
