Global Entry Appointment Alerts

About

A few users may have experienced alerts for the wrong location between the hours of 9AM and 4:30PM PST on August 3rd, 2022. This issue has been resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Global Entry Now is an alerts system that connects people to Global Entry Appointments. What started as a personal experiment to schedule the soonest Global Entry Appointment turned into a scaleable solution to help anyone with the same goal.

At a high level, per-month, Global Entry Now sends alerts to over 1,000 users via SMS or Twitter mentions, generates ~1M impressions, and gets more than 200k profile visits on Twitter alone (there are additional analytics available upon request).

Despite Global Entry Now being an isolated service to individuals, it will eventually serve as a feature upgrade (think: plugin) of a larger application that integrates with HR SaaS platforms such as ADP, Zenefits, and Rippling to automate travel arrangements for small businesses.

Happy to talk about the current roadmap for this project. Feel free to ask questions!
