i4a Directory Builder
What it is
i4a Directory Builder creates searchable association member directories linked to an organization’s membership database. Organizations can present listings-only directories, detail pages, or map-based views. Search can use text, dropdown, location, checkbox, and custom-field filters, with hidden filters for targeted views. When members edit profiles, directory information updates instantly. Members can control field visibility or opt out, while staff can restrict access by member type. Map directories use Google Maps and require a separate Google Maps Platform account with billing enabled. Entries can be exported as vCards for phones, Outlook, and other contact managers. i4a says customers can create unlimited directories and member listings without per-member fees. The web platform runs in a browser on desktop, tablet, or smartphone, with no separate mobile download. Listed integrations include WordPress SSO, REST API access, and QuickBooks-compatible exports. Core Platform costs $99 a month and Pro Platform $224 a month, each under an annual contract billed monthly.
