Our Integration Patterns

We support a flexible and robust set of integration patterns to meet diverse client needs across systems and workflows. These include:

1. OpenAPI-Based Push & Pull Integration

We provide RESTful APIs (OpenAPI standard) that enable real-time, bidirectional data exchange. These APIs cover key entities such as:

Projects
Workflows
Resources
Timesheets
Matrices
Users

Third-party systems can push data into our platform or pull data from it as required, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

2. Event-Driven Integration via In-House Connection Manager

Our proprietary Connection Manager enables event-driven workflows, allowing external systems to react to:

Workflow actions
Step completions
Status changes

API connectors are configured within the Connection Manager and can:

Push data out to external systems in real time
Read or retrieve data from external systems as part of the triggered action

3. Scheduled Workflow-Linked Actions

We support scheduled integrations that can be tied directly to workflow logic. This allows time-based or condition-driven automation

4. File-Based Integration

We support both automated and manual file-based integration patterns, including:

Cloud storage or SFTP-based file exchange
CSV import/export for users, matrices, timesheets, and other bulk data sets

This is ideal for high-volume, batch-oriented operations.

6. Extensible API & Webhook Capabilities

While we do not currently support SDK-based custom integrations, our platform continues to evolve. We are open to enhancing our API and webhook capabilities where needed to meet client-specific requirementsbalancing flexibility with maintainability and security best practices.
