Overview
Integrations allow you to connect your coworking space with third-party services to:
Automate Workflows: Automatically trigger actions when events occur in your space
Sync Data: Keep your external systems updated with real-time information
Accept Payments: Process payments through various payment providers
Monitor Activities: Get notifications about member activities, bookings, and payments
Webhooks
Webhooks enable real-time communication between your space and external applications by sending HTTP requests when specific events occur.
What Are Webhooks?
Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that automatically send data to external URLs when events happen in your space. For example:
When a member joins, a webhook can notify your CRM system
When a payment is processed, a webhook can update your accounting software
When a booking is made, a webhook can send notifications to your team
