Origami’s API integrates seamlessly with various external services and tools, bringing a higher level of automation and efficiency to your workflows. Below, we outline some of the key integration capabilities, followed by a section on Origami’s App on MAKE, a powerful tool for automation.

Key Integration Features

Origami supports multiple integration methods to connect with external systems, enabling a wide range of automation and data sharing. These integrations simplify workflows and ensure smooth operations across different platforms.

1. API Integration: Seamless Web Requests

• Origami’s API allows businesses to connect external services and systems directly to Origami.
• Perform Actions: Users can send, receive, and update data between Origami and other applications via RESTful API calls.
• Flexible Data Handling: Origami’s API supports dynamic variables, enabling users to send specific data fields from records (e.g., user names, IDs, or any other custom attributes) to external systems.

2. Background Processes (API Calls in the Background)

• For tasks that don’t require real-time user interaction, Origami can trigger external API requests in the background.
• No Front-End Display: The user doesn’t need to be aware of these actions happening in the background, allowing for seamless integration with services like payment processing or system updates.
• Customizable Payload: You can choose to send raw JSON data or form data, depending on the service’s requirements.

3. Opening External Services in a New Window

• External Service Interaction: If you need to display data from external services directly to the user, such as accessing a payment gateway or customer service interface, Origami allows you to open a new window or tab.
• Example: Opening WhatsApp Web directly within Origami, where a conversation with a specific client can be automatically loaded, allowing the user to continue the interaction seamlessly.

4. Form Data vs. Raw Data

• Form Data is convenient when sending simple key-value pairs, but sometimes it’s not flexible enough for complex data structures.
• In such cases, Raw JSON can be used for greater customization and compatibility with more complex services.
• Dynamic Field Mapping: With the ability to include fields from the current record using dynamic variables, you can ensure accurate and personalized data transmission.
