What is an API and how to get started

Updated over a week ago

What is API Integration?

API integration is the process of connecting two different software systems so that they can communicate with each other and exchange data. It's like having a translator between two people who speak different languages.

APIs provide a set of rules that define how different software systems can communicate and share data. When two systems are integrated using APIs, they can automatically exchange information without requiring manual intervention, which saves time and reduces errors.

With the Empiraa API, you can set up automations to pull data from your favorite platforms directly into your objectives in Empiraa. No more manual entry!

And don't worry, you don't need to be tech-savvy to set this up. We are using third-party automation tools like Zapier, PowerAutomate, Make, and Boomi to create connections between your chosen platforms. By putting in some initial work to set it all up, you can save yourself hundreds of hours down the track.

Zapier
