Some FAQs About Integrations
What are integrations?
Integrations are used to connect two systems together. Syncing your data across your platforms allows you to have accurate information and make stronger business decisions. This is great for scaling businesses and those who use multiple tools and technology throughout their processes.
Why use integrations?
Not only do integrations connect your systems, but they allow you to keep the system you’re currently using by simply adding connections to third-party applications. This enhances system functionality and provides additional features you may need but aren’t able to build within your software. Integrations also solve and simplify your need for new software as your business grows and evolves.
How do integrations work?
Integrations connect two systems together, mostly from using an API. An API (application programming interface) is an interface that software programs use to receive information. By building integrations on APIs, you can connect your integrations to your software and use them in tandem with one another. The integration allows for the flow of information to and from apps and devices in real time — APIs allow them to talk to one another.
