BurbleDZM Integration with Merit for Dropzones

In this article

How to use the integration to verify USPA membership, ratings and licenses.

The Burble-Merit integration allows skydivers to grant access for the dropzones that use BurbleDZM to view their USPA and UPT merits after a few taps of a smartphone. This integration confidently retrieves credentials from the USPA database, enabling near-live tracking of credentials, including the USPA Tandem Instructor Ratings from both USPA and UPT, and USPA licenses. Dropzones instantly see verified, auto-updated information vetting the jumper/instructor standing at the desk, a functionality built to replace manual data input and cumbersome lookup tools.

How to enable the BurbleDZM-Merit integration

 

Step 1: In BurbleDZM, navigate to Manage Settings > Edit Profile > Membership Credentials.

Step 2: Within Membership Credentials, select the organizations that you want to configure. Merit currently supports USPA and UPT. All other listed organizations require manual data entry.

Step 3: Configure Sources to connect to your Merit Account

You may be asked to log into your Merit account and confirm your request.  

Once your Merit account is connected you are ready to start verifying USPA and UPT credentials within BurbleDZM. 

Merits will appear in the Jumper Details section once the experienced skydiver has linked his/her merits to your dropzone BurbleDZM. 

 

Note: Merit will not have access to the information that is tracked in BurbleDZM, such as personal information of your clients, jump numbers, etc. Granting permission allows BurbleDZM to use your Merit organization to verify merits, such as USPA credentials and UPT credentials, and populate those results in BurbleDZM, where you will see and store them.

 

 

 

Best practices

Here are some best practices to follow to make sure that the Merit-Burble integration works best for both your dropzone and jumpers:

  • Setup Guide: Closely follow the Burble integration setup guide on this page
  • Credential Organizations: Confirm that you have selected all of the organizations that supply the credentials necessary for verifications at your dropzone.
  • Help Jumpers: Ensure that jumpers have all the information they need to share their credentials with you by sharing information of how Merit works with USPA and BurbleMe.  Direct them to step-by-step instructions here.  
  • Check Jumper IDs: Of course, make sure that the name on the jumper’s credentials, BurbleMe account, and Merit profile match the name on their government-issued ID.
