If your developers need any help, please contact me by email info@feeltechnology.com

The FeelTech Team will ensure that the interactive devices are connected. Once you implement the technology, FeelTech ensures that the current and future devices will work with the technology. Adding a new device means updating the FeelConnect App so that it works with what you have implemented.

We have created a webhook, which informs you in real-time about what is happening to your users. If a customer has their app running or if their device is connected, this is all visible. By updating the customer in real-time, to confirm that everything is alright, this creates the best experience for the user.
