The Awber API is a simple way to automate tasks on your phone. The app is fairly self-explanatory, allowing you to enter events, businesses, and places, and automatically update your status on social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook. Simply enter the event or business you are attending, along with any relevant information (including phone number and email), and you will be able to keep track of all your events in real time.
But what if you want to use the app with your Aweber email list? We will teach you how to do that in this article, so you can keep track of your email leads, customers, and followers without having to search for updates manually.
What is an API Key?
If you have an account with Twitter or Facebook, you will know that in order to use their platforms to automatically post about your events, you need to have an API Key. An API key is similar to a Facebook or Twitter account password in that it gives you access to certain features within these platforms. Unlike a Facebook or Twitter account password, an API key is not a secure way to store your sensitive information (such as your credit card details), or something you need to remember. It is simply a tool that allows you to access a specific set of features within a platform.

Now you can use the Awber App to follow your events on Twitter or Facebook, and see updates in real time. You can also follow your customers’ events and see their attendance on your phone. If a customer is on your account, and they go to an event that you are unable to attend, you will be notified and can follow along (up to 500 characters in length).
You can use this feature to easily stay in touch with your email leads, customers, and followers, and easily create drip campaigns on Twitter or Facebook to re-engage with anyone who may have lost interest in your product or service.
