Integrations and API Overview

Integrations and API capabilities allow the Helpdesk to exchange data and interact with external systems.

Integrations

An integration connects the Helpdesk with another application, service, or provider.

Typical integration goals may include:

• synchronizing data
• receiving external events
• sending Helpdesk information
• connecting communication channels
• extending operational workflows

API access

The API provides a structured programmatic interface to supported Helpdesk resources.

Security

Integrations should authenticate securely and receive only the access required for their purpose.

Data mapping

External fields and identifiers should be mapped carefully to the correct Helpdesk records.

Reliability

Integrations should handle failures, retries, invalid responses, and duplicate events safely.

Good practices

Document each integration's owner, purpose, credentials, data flow, and failure behavior before relying on it in production.
