"Co-Marketing Options" describes the different marketing channels that each Opportunity offers its partners who publish an app or connector on their platform/marketplace.

A useful example is Zapier, which requires extensive co-marketing from any/all its listed Public Apps. Gaining exposure to Zapier's nearly 3 million users is often a consideration for companies exploring a Public App. New Zapier Public Apps receiving extensive mentions via Zapier's social media and email channels.

Many of the Opportunities listed on our directory offer multiple ways for a SaaS to offer their functionality to your users.

We classify three different approaches to user experience:

Internal UI: Your users can use some or all of another app's functionality inside your SaaS's app.

Example: Your SaaS offers a small business-focused sales CRM. If they enable this integration, your user can see the status (Paid or Unpaid) of a customer's Quickbooks Online invoice from inside your CRM's UI.

Target App's UI: Your users can access some or all of your app's functionality outside your UI, and inside another app's UI.

Example: Your CRM has an email list for new customers who just paid their first invoice. If they enable this integration, your users can mark an invoice as paid in Quickbooks, and automatically add that customer to the right email list.

Third Party UI: Many of our Integration Opportunities are platforms that require your end user to access a third party tool to build workflows or to map data. Your customer/end user will necessarily have to log into a third system to use it.

Note that some of our Integration Opportunities offer multiple UI options, and this field will reflect this by including any/all UI options available to SaaS partners.
