What i4a Directory Builder is
i4a Directory Builder creates searchable association member directories connected to an organization’s membership database. Organizations can publish listing-only directories, detail pages, or map-based views. Search supports text, dropdown, location, checkbox, and custom-field filters, including hidden filters for targeted views. Member profile edits update directory information instantly. Members can choose 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 to phones, Outlook, and other contact managers. i4a says customers can create unlimited directories and member listings without per-member fees. The browser-based platform works on desktop, tablet, or smartphone without a separate mobile app. Core Platform costs $99 a month and Pro Platform $224 a month, each under an annual contract billed monthly; both include Member Directory Builder and unlimited members and contacts.
