About the API Integrations category

Custom API & Tooling

Sometimes the standard features aren’t enough to solve a unique problem. This space is dedicated to the developers, technical owners, and curious tinkerers who want to extend Shopmonkey’s capabilities using our REST API and Webhooks.

Whether you’re building a custom dashboard to track specific shop KPIs, syncing Shopmonkey data with your favorite CRM, or automating bulk updates for inventory, this is the place to share your builds and ask technical questions.

What we discuss here:

  • :electric_plug: API Best Practices: How to securely authenticate and structure your requests to interact with Customers, Orders, and Inventory.

  • :high_voltage: Webhook Automations: Setting up event-driven triggers so your other apps update instantly when a repair order is created or an invoice is paid.

  • :building_construction: Custom Tools & Scripts: Share the small utilities or scripts you’ve written to handle data cleanup or specialized reporting.

  • :hammer_and_wrench: Troubleshooting: A place to get a second pair of eyes on your code or logic when an integration isn’t behaving as expected.

Note: Using these tools requires technical skills, including coding and development experience. If you’re just looking for standard integrations like QuickBooks or PartsTech, check out the Integration Corner.
