Connect external apps with API automations

Connect external apps with API automations

Stop switching platforms to keep data in sync. The Make an API call automation step pushes real-time updates from Kinabase to any external service, so information flows automatically and teams stay aligned.

Need to trigger an external system, send data to another platform,or call a bespoke API whenever a record changes? The Make an API call step fits into any Automation, sending HTTP requests with dynamic values drawn from your records. You choose the method, headers and body – we handle the rest. It’s the simplest way for SMEs to integrate Kinabase with the wider toolstack, without waiting on developers.

Why it matters:

  • Break data silos – keep external apps current without manual exports.
  • Cut busywork – save hours each week by removing copy-paste tasks.
  • Scale processes – trigger limitless services, from SMS gateways to bespoke systems.

How it works:

  1. In Automations, add a new action and pick Make an API call.
  2. Enter the URL, choose the HTTP Method, and set any Headers.
  3. Build the body as plain text or JSON, inserting field expressions where needed, then save.

When to use it:

  • Operations Managers who need records in Kinabase to update finance or helpdesk tools automatically.
  • IT Admins connecting on-premise systems to cloud workflows.
  • Marketing Managers to post to websites & social media automatically.
