Profile.gfavip.com Overview

Profile.gfavip.com serves as the data-rich center for member profile information within the GlobalFromAsia (GFAVIP) community. It acts as a centralized "backend data hub," storing comprehensive profile data (e.g., name, company, role, LinkedIn, bio) to power personalized networking and community features. This hub feeds rich profile data via APIs to other GFAVIP ecosystem applications, including vip.globalfromasia.com, nowshenzhen.com, expat.com.ph, and portalhongkong.com, enabling a LinkedIn-like database for our cross-border community.

Profile.gfavip.com is the core profile database for the GFAVIP ecosystem, interconnecting with multiple applications to enhance community engagement and functionality (per GFAVIP ecosystem vision).

• Wallet.gfavip.com: Pulls user basics (user_id, email, username, tier, credits, memberNumber) via SSO (/api/user) and pushes e-passport data (e.g., company, role) via PUT /api/user/profile.
• Tickets.gfavip.com: Pushes profile data (name, company, memberNumber) for e-ticket generation and event applications via /integrations/sync.
• Vip.globalfromasia.com: Receives rich profile data (e.g., bio, role) via API for VIP member features and networking.
• Nowshenzhen.com, Expat.com.ph, Portalhongkong.com: Pulls profile data to display member info for regional community engagement.
• Onboard.gfavip.com: Shares profile data (e.g., speaker/sponsor details) to streamline onboarding without separate checklists.
• Globalfromasia.com: Pulls opt-in public profiles via /public/export for directory listings and podcast promotion (paid members only).
• Crossbordermatchmaker.com (Future): Will access profiles via /profile/search for AI-driven deal and networking matches.

This interconnected hub ensures a unified member experience across the GFAVIP ecosystem, acting as a private, LinkedIn-like database with tiered access (free: limited; paid: full).
