Automation
API Calls
Fetch and send data to other systems, automatically.
What is API Calls?
With API Calls you let a workflow retrieve data from or send data to external software. This keeps your data up to date everywhere without retyping. Think of updating your accounting, CRM or stock system from one flow.
How does it work?
- Add an API step to your workflow.
- Enter the address of the external service and any login credentials.
- Determine which data you send or retrieve.
- Use the result in the next steps of your flow.
Use cases
Accounting: send a new invoice directly to Exact or Twinfield.
CRM: automatically update a customer record in HubSpot or Salesforce.
Webshop: retrieve current stock from an external warehouse system.
Shipping: request a shipping label as soon as an order is ready.
Benefits
- Your data is synchronised everywhere, without double entry.
- Connect virtually any modern tool to your processes.
- Use retrieved data immediately in follow-up steps.
- Fewer errors from manual retyping.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this to connect with software I already use?
Usually yes. If your tool offers an open integration, Slimbot can communicate with it. Think of accounting packages, CRMs and shipping partners such as Exact, AFAS, HubSpot or Salesforce.
Do I need technical knowledge to create an integration?
Not for simple integrations. For more complex custom integrations, it helps if someone provides the data from the external service; we're happy to help you think it through.
