The API Integration

Your app or portal connected to one external API — HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify or similar — with sync, error handling and an admin view of status.

We connect your existing app or portal to one external API, building bi-directional sync where the target API supports it, error handling so a failed sync surfaces rather than silently dropping data, and an admin view showing current sync status. Monitoring is set up so app-to-API breakages get flagged going forward rather than discovered by a customer complaint. Scope is quoted per API after a short discovery call, because API maturity varies enormously — some platforms are clean and well-documented, others are not, and that difference changes the work substantially. Whether the integration should include a display layer for the synced data, or just the request/response plumbing itself, is decided during that same discovery call rather than assumed. Delivered by backend developers with 10+ years average experience integrating third-party systems, following workflows refined across many client integrations.

FAQ

How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is within 160 weekday hours (≈ 10 working days). Express delivery — within 96 weekday hours (≈ 6 working days) — costs 25% more.
Why is this quoted per API rather than a flat price?
Because API maturity varies wildly — a clean, well-documented API is a different amount of work than a poorly documented one. We quote after a short discovery call once we've seen the target API.
Does this include displaying the synced data in my app?
That is decided during discovery — a pure request/response integration and one that also builds a display layer are different amounts of work, and we scope and price accordingly.
Can this connect to The AI Portal instead of my own app?
Yes, this is a common add-on when the AI Portal or Customer Portal needs to talk to an external system like a CRM or accounting platform.
