A short overview of the platforms speeding up time to deliver customer-facing integrations.
Hey friends 👋🏿,
In today's issue, we're exploring ✨ embedded iPaaS ✨. These powerful tools streamline the development of new customer-facing integrations. Let’s get into it!
What is an iPaaS?
iPaaS, or Integration Platform as a Service, is a platform designed to integrate applications from various vendors. These platforms are generally user-friendly, often enabling integration without the need for extensive development knowledge. iPaaS solutions are primarily used to streamline internal business processes, making them more efficient. Prominent examples of iPaaS include Zapier, Make, and Relay.
What is an embedded iPaaS?
Embedded iPaaS represents a white-labeled variation of integration platforms, designed to assist software providers in creating and offering integrations directly to their users. Unlike traditional iPaaS, which is used mainly for internal automation, embedded iPaaS focuses on crafting native integrations that are directly utilized by a software's clientele.
These integrations are usually embedded into the software through methods such as external links, iframes, or JavaScript UI SDKs, allowing for seamless integration within the software’s user experience.
