Betty Blocks Integrations

The Betty Blocks low-code platform offers an extensive suite of custom and reusable integrations to extend your applications' capabilities. Alternatively, you can use the Action builder to create custom data sources and remote models without having to code.

Integrate APIs with your Betty Blocks app to:

without-code

Seamlessly bridge feature gaps without code.

extend

Extend low-code apps with tool suites like Google and Microsoft.

remote-models

Create custom data sources and remote models.

Low-code API integration tools

Low-code programming offers a seamless integration between Betty Blocks applications and an organization’s internal IT infrastructure. The Betty Blocks platform can act as a bridge between third-party data sources and applications to allow them to collaborate and improve user experience. Many organizations report having data scattered across multiple tools rather than one centralized platform.

With Betty Blocks, developers can create custom low-code integrations to extend, augment, or merge various data sources to improve efficiency and overview. This way, even business-critical core systems can be connected to applications and tools built with Betty Blocks.

Integrate with systems such as:

Data sources

One of the strengths of the Betty Blocks platform is that users have free reign over how API connections behave through the Action builder. Betty Blocks makes it easy to create APIs through data sources with reusable templates that include Data models. The Action builder is responsible for creating and configuring API data sources so that business applications can communicate with data sources no matter where or how they are built. The flexibility of the Action builder enables development teams to connect to external data sources by adding a remote connection to systems outside of our low-code platform.

 

Once you create a data source, it can then be converted into a reusable block within the Block Store, significantly speeding up development time when this functionality is needed across multiple applications.

Remote models

Remote models allow developers to integrate data from an external source with applications built in the Betty Blocks platform and vice versa. This feature is an excellent way for developers to add third-party functionalities to low-code applications instead of creating them from scratch. In the Block Store, developers can upload their own custom integrations to use as APIs for applications built on the Betty Blocks platform. This allows businesses to scale applications rapidly according to business needs and customer demands. 

API integrations with Betty Blocks

API connections come in different forms when working on the Betty Blocks platform. It is possible to share resources, data, and processes with applications created within the platform itself and third-party core systems such as SAP and Oracle. By creating a data source with the Action Builder, developers can connect information outside of the platform with applications built with Betty Blocks.

Native API

Connect native applications built on the platform with the organization’s existing tech stack outside of the Betty Blocks tool suite.

Data API

Optimize and create secure data connections to and from applications. API connections can be built between both internal and external apps. 

Third-party API

Use Betty Blocks to create API connections to third-party software and applications, tying together the organization’s tech stack.

Reduced engineering efforts

API integrations and low-code go hand in hand, as they both aim to make programming and software easier for developers and users. Because both APIs and low-code aim to speed up the development process significantly, leveraging them both reflects in the increased time-to-market. By utilizing the platform's low-code capability, developers can create API connectors through drag-and-drop action workflows rather than hand-coding them.

Integrate with your applications

Our clients are using Betty Blocks to integrate with the applications they use every day. For example, in Betty Blocks you can create an application that collects essential client information through a questionnaire. When a user fills out the questionnaire, this data can then be pushed directly into your existing system. We have partnership agreements with Thomson Reuters, iManage, SAP, and many more. Making it even easier for you to connect your Betty Blocks application directly with your system.

Improved app governance

The Betty Blocks platform offers a myriad of solid governance tools, which can also be applied to how an API behaves. By adding governance tools in the form of custom permissions, roles, and viewing rights, admins have complete control over data and application security. This is especially useful for developers who wish to integrate third-party APIs but wish to add governance settings in line with company security policy to the application. For more information about governance tools available on the Betty Blocks platform, check out our dedicated governance page.

Smoother API orchestration

When multiple APIs are needed on a single application, it can be challenging for developers to maintain an overview. Luckily, the Betty Blocks platform boasts a visual canvas where Action components can be used to create connectors and manage endpoints. The visual approach to orchestrating API results in a more streamlined developer experience, which allows organizations to optimize web services, mobile applications, internal tools, workflows, and much more. For non-developers, there is the option to to connect their own preferred APIs through blocks configured by low-coders.

Connect your own data source via an API

Access to real-time data is crucial so that applications built with Betty Blocks are in sync with the organization’s native tech stack. This is why the Betty Blocks Store supports data sources native to your organization's IT infrastructure. By creating an API within our platform, external data sources can be linked to applications made with Betty Blocks. Although creating a custom API integration takes some technical effort, our Services Team is more than happy to assist you in making this happen. Thanks to our ISO 27001 certification, any data links created to and from the platform are completely secure.

The Betty Blocks Store

We’re committed to making our platform as easy as possible to use, that’s why we created the Blocks Store. Here, low-code developers can create, store, and configure their own reusable integrations. 

 

We have pre-existing integrations ready to use right away at no extra cost. All developers need to do is install the block and create a data model in order to connect it through an API key, before it can be used in the application.
