API - Introduction
COMING SOON - get in touch to request early access to this feature
Enable different software systems to communicate with each other in a structured, secure, and repeatable way
If your system supports APIs, it can establish a direct connection with PageTiger, sending and receiving data as events happen in your HR, LMS, or CRM platforms. This means PageTiger can automatically trigger specific actions and return information in response to those events, such as updating an Expected Visitor List or creating a document from a template.
APIs handle activity in the background, so no one needs to log in to PageTiger to make manual changes. This reduces administration, increases accuracy, and supports a consistent, up-to-date experience for your employees and stakeholders.
API Endpoints
Folders
Manage folders directly from your own system - return a full list of folders, look up a specific one by ID, create new folders, and update existing ones.
Document creation from template
Automate one of the most common document management tasks: creating a new document from a template. Instead of a manual, multi-step process, it becomes a single automated step that can run as part of a wider system.
Expected Visitor List (EVLs)
Manage EVLs directly from your own system - return a full list of EVLs, look up a specific one by its ID, create new lists, and update existing ones.
Search
Send a search request to PageTiger, receive a list of matching documents in real time, and present the results to your users without them needing to open PageTiger separately.
Do I need anything extra to make this work?
Often, yes - something usually needs to sit in between to handle and translate the information so your system understands it. This is called a connector (sometimes referred to as an iPaaS), and is normally set up by your IT team or the other platform's provider.
