Public vs Private Integrations

The Bokio API distinguish between two types of integration.

• For integration that are specific to one company it's possible to use Private integration.
• Integrations that are for mutiple companies should use Public integrations. This can for example be a CRM system, Commerce system or integration platform.

Key differences

Private Integrations

Private integrations in Bokio are designed for use by a single company. These integrations can be set up directly by the company. Security for private integrations is managed through an Integration Token, which is generated within the Bokio app. This token allows the integration to access the company's data securely. Companies can set up multiple private integrations and each private integration can be assigned the permissions necessary. This can help avoid giving an integration more permissions than it should.

Private integrations are ideal for company-specific use cases where the integration needs to interact with internal systems or processes. Since these integrations are not available to other users, they can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of the company.

How Private Integrations Work in Bokio

Integration Token

To create a private integration, the company adds a private integration from within the Bokio app. When the private integration has been added the Integration token is available. This token is used to authenticate API requests and ensures that only authorized applications can access the company's data.

Custom Use Cases

Private integrations can be customized to address specific business needs. For example, a company might develop an integration to automate data entry, synchronize financial records with other systems, or generate custom reports. The flexibility of private integrations allows companies to optimize their workflows and improve efficiency.

Example Workflow

1. Generate Integration Token: The company generates an Integration Token from within the Bokio app.
2. Configure Integration: The company configures the integration to use the Integration Token for authentication.
3. Access Data: The integration uses the token to make authenticated API requests to Bokio and access the company's data.
