The ability to seamlessly connect with other tools and platforms doesn’t just enhance user experience—it amplifies business growth. But how can companies strategically leverage native integration amplification to drive key business outcomes? Most product roadmap items deliver 1, 2 or maybe 3 aspects of features, retention, efficiency, revenue and scalability in one go. It is rare for a decision/roadmap item to deliver on all fronts. However, amplifying native integrations (integrations delivered directly from within your own app) ticks all five aspects. Accelerating Feature Delivery New customer facing integrations deliver high customer value. Building new features takes time, but leveraging integrations can significantly speed up the process. Instead of developing standalone capabilities from scratch, native integrations allow companies to tap into existing ecosystems. This enables faster iteration cycles and ensures users get the functionality they need—without lengthy development delays. Boosting Customer Retention Native integrations make your product stickier and keep your customer closer. Customers expect seamless workflows across their tech stacks. When software integrates natively with their existing tools, they experience less friction, reducing churn risk. A well-executed integration strategy leads to higher engagement and stickiness, keeping customers within your ecosystem for the long haul. Unlocking New Revenue Streams Native integrations can be a source of direct revenue and upgrades. Strategic integrations open doors to new revenue opportunities. SaaS companies can monetise integrations through premium add-ons, marketplace partnerships, or revenue-sharing agreements. Additionally, by expanding into broader ecosystems, companies... --- ### Power Composable Commerce with Embedded iPaaS > Composable commerce is modular, scalable, and designed for change and it needs smart integration with embedded iPaaS. - Published: 2025-04-21 - Modified: 2025-04-17 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/power-composable-commerce-with-embedded-ipaas - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, SaaS - Tags: Composable Commerce, Integrations, IPaaS What is composable commerce? Composable commerce is an approach to building eCommerce systems where businesses can choose and assemble components to create a customized tech stack. Instead of relying on a single monolithic platform, it leverages best-of-breed components (like CMS, PIM, cart, payments, etc. ) that can be independently developed, deployed, and replaced. Key characteristics: API-first Cloud-native Headless Modular (components can be chosen à la carte) Composable commerce is modular, scalable, and designed for change — and it needs smart integration. Modularity is Powerful — But Demands Integration Using modular tools provides flexibility, but it also requires solid connections between APIs. Data needs to move reliably between systems to avoid slowdowns, manual work, and poor customer experiences. This is where an Embedded iPaaS provides an integration layer. This layer connects chosen services and offers integration capabilities directly inside a platform often with no-code and low code functionality. It handles API calls, authentication, and data flow. As a result, your tools behave like one system without the overhead of building each connection from scratch. In the context of composable commerce, it allows you to: Seamlessly connect services like CMS, PIM, ERP, payment gateways, CRM, etc. Orchestrate workflows across different systems Normalize and transform data between APIs Automate business processes (e. g. , inventory sync, order fulfillment) Why combine them? There are numerous advantages to combining an embedding iPaaS into a composable commerce stack. Firstly, there will be a faster time-to-value this is because embedded integration platforms have pre-built connectors and templates.... --- ### Building an AI Agent for Enterprise Solutions > Discover how to build an AI agent for your enterprise and why AI agents need embedded iPaaS for seamless integration. - Published: 2025-04-14 - Modified: 2025-05-08 - URL: https://cyclr.com/resources/ai/building-an-ai-agent-for-enterprise-solutions - Categories: AI, Blog - Tags: ai, Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS As enterprises look to leverage AI for automation, the limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) become evident. While LLMs provide powerful text generation capabilities, they primarily rely on publicly available internet data. For organizations that require domain-specific knowledge and automation capabilities, an AI agent must integrate with enterprise systems and documentation. This is where Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and embedded iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) come into play. The Limitations of LLMs LLMs, on their own, do not have access to proprietary or enterprise-specific information. Relying solely on their outputs can result in incomplete, outdated, or irrelevant responses for business applications. To build an effective AI agent, businesses must ensure the model can: Retrieve relevant information from internal documents and databases. Integrate with multiple systems and applications. Execute actions based on AI-generated insights. Enhancing AI Agents with RAG RAG is a technique that improves LLM responses by dynamically retrieving information from external sources such as enterprise files, application records, and databases. However, enterprise data is often scattered across multiple systems, making retrieval complex. Without proper indexing and ingestion of diverse data sources, an AI agent will lack the necessary context to generate accurate and actionable outputs. The Need for Embedded iPaaS for Agentic Actions While AI models generate responses, they cannot perform tasks independently. To bridge this gap, AI agents need embedded iPaaS, which enables them to take actions autonomously. iPaaS facilitates seamless integration with third-party applications, allowing AI agents to: Schedule Meetings (e. g. , set up a Google... --- ### What is CCaaS and how can an integration platform help expand its capabilities? > CCaaS is a cloud-based solution that allows businesses to manage customer interactions across multiple channels, discover how an integration platform can expand it's capabilities. - Published: 2025-04-07 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-ccaas-and-how-can-an-integration-platform-help-expand-its-capabilities - Categories: Blog, Product - Tags: CCaaS, Integration, IPaaS, SaaS What is CCaaS technology? CCaaS, or Contact Center as a Service, is a cloud-based solution that allows businesses to manage customer interactions across multiple channels (voice, email, chat, social media) without needing on-premises infrastructure, offering scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.   These applications provide businesses with a software-based platform to handle customer interactions, eliminating the need for expensive hardware, software, and IT staff to manage a traditional on-premises contact centre.   CCaaS solutions are hosted in the cloud, meaning businesses access the technology and features through a subscription, rather than owning and maintaining it themselves.   Types of CCaaS Technology Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) software  Contact Center Software Contact Center Workforce Software Contact Center Knowledge Base Software Key CCaaS Features There are a number of key features that CCaaS technology has these include: Omnichannel Support manages customer interactions across various channels, including voice, email, chat, and social media.   Easily scalable as resources can be simply adjusted based on demand, whether scaling up during peak hours or down during slower periods.   Cost-effective as there are reduced costs associated with hardware, software, and IT staff.   Analytics and reporting help to provide insights into customer interactions and performance through data analysis tools.   Remote accessibility means agents can work from anywhere with an internet connection.   Integration is seamless with other business systems, such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platforms.   How can an embedded integration platform help expand CCaaS capabilities? An embedded integration platform streamlines integrations by offering pre-built... --- ### March News & Updates > March roundup of SaaS integration news and product updates from the essential integration platform for B2B software, Cyclr. - Published: 2025-04-03 - Modified: 2025-04-01 - URL: https://cyclr.com/news-updates/march-news-updates - Categories: News & Updates - Tags: news and updates Check out our latest integration tutorial - how to build an AI knowledge agent, learn how Cyclr uses Cyclr, discover how to extend Connectors, and see our latest customer story with Force24.

The whole process uses numerous SaaS platforms from CRMs, social media and other marketing applications.   This process often involves numerous SaaS platforms and tools to capture data, we've put together some integration tutorials to demonstrate how data added to one SaaS application, HubSpot for instance can be automatically added to another. CLM Integration Overview This tutorial demonstrates how to create integrations between a native SaaS application and HubSpot CRM without coding. We start by installing the HubSpot Connector using the provided credentials. In the first example, we will sync all contacts, and then only sync new contacts. We will be using Cyclr, an embedded iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service) to build the integration, filter and manipulate the data.   We will also cover how to map fields, handle updated data based on timestamps and add logic with Cyclr’s Decision Tool. Finally, we’ll test the integration to demonstrate how the integration will only show the data requested and how custom data is manipulated as configured. Watch the full HubSpot Integration Tutorial Creating Integration Between SaaS Application and HubSpot  Firstly, you’ll need to install the HubSpot Connector and enter the required client ID, client secret, and scopes for authentication. Next, create the first integration template by using the "List Contact" method from the HubSpot Connector and the "Create Contact" method from the SaaS Connector, and map the fields between the two platforms.

Traditionally, “Extract, Transform, Load” (ETL) has been the dominant method for structuring and cleaning data before it reaches its destination.  However, “Extract, Load, Transform” (ELT) has emerged as a powerful alternative, particularly in cloud-native environments, as it allows raw data to be loaded into storage first and transformed only when needed. So let’s take a look at some of the low-code ELT functionalities that are readily available at your fingertips in Cyclr. What is ELT? ELT, or Extract, Load, Transform, is a data integration method where raw data is first extracted from a source, loaded into a storage system, and transformed later as needed. Unlike traditional ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), where data is cleaned and formatted before being loaded, ELT stores raw data first and applies transformations dynamically. ELT is particularly useful when working with data lakes, analytics platforms, and cloud-based integrations. Instead of performing transformations upfront, businesses can store raw data and process it later, only when needed. How Cyclr Enables Low-Code ELT As an embedded integration platform (iPaaS), Cyclr offers several low-code functionalities and tools that facilitate ELT workflows. It allows users to handle data integration and transformation easily with low development overhead.   Let’s break down how Cyclr facilitates each stage of the ELT pipeline. Extract: Connecting Data Sources The first step in ELT is extracting data from various applications, databases, and APIs. Cyclr provides a 600+ connector library, making it easy to... --- ### Internal Integration Use Cases from a CEO of an Embedded iPaaS > Discover how we, Cyclr, use our embedded integration platform for internal integration use cases from Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson. - Published: 2025-03-17 - Modified: 2025-03-18 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/internal-integration-use-cases - Categories: Blog, Developer, Embedded iPaaS, Product - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS We are often discussing how Cyclr, an embedded integration platform can help you, a SaaS.

These facilitate connections via a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach. RAG helps large language models (LLMs) provide more relevant responses and allows your AI model to utilise external data sources for tailored context-aware replies. Today we will demonstrate how users can leverage Cyclr and rapidly build an AI knowledge agent. Integrating your customer data will enhance the chatbot's usefulness and provide a much more tailored experience. AI Knowledge Agent: Sales Tutorial In this example, we focus on developing an AI agent to help your sales team, we use Slack, ChatGPT, Google Sheets and your own SaaS application (fictional app). A question is asked in a Slack channel and this query is followed by a response in the same channel.   What you’ll specifically learn is how to create a webhook integration with Slack and how to work with an LMM model (ChatGPT) with security control. This is just one example and this data source could be replaced with anything. For instance, Confluence created a company called Wiki. All the elements are interchangeable.   We are highlighting one way if you’re a Cyclr subscriber you can leverage the tool, alongside your customer-facing integrations, to get extra internal benefits above and beyond our embedded capabilities.

Organisations need to be able to adapt to the ever-changing data regulations and client needs. Embedded iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service) offer a powerful suite of tools and API connectors that allow users to create seamless integrations between various applications. For instance, an embedded integration platform turns an API into a Connector. The Connector is built by an API expert and by default includes widely required methods. It is mapped with the standard fields available by the API. However, if there is a type of data required for a specific method but it hasn’t been mapped in the method fields, an embedded iPaaS provides the tools for users to add the necessary methods. These are referred to as Custom Fields. What are Custom Fields? Custom fields in Cyclr, an embedded integration platform allow users to map their own data fields into the request and response fields or Template Connectors. This allows users to tailor their integrations to match the unique data requirements of their business. As a result, it ensures that every piece of information is accurately captured, processed, and transferred between systems.   It’s important to note that the ability to add custom fields is entirely dependent on the API being worked with. Custom fields can only be added for data fields that have been made available by the API.   Let’s walk through the process of adding custom fields to Cyclr Connectors. Understanding the Limitations of Custom Fields Before... --- ### Build Smarter Integrations with Cyclr’s Logic Tools > Learn how to create smarter integrations with Cyclr's logic tools that allow users to add dynamic logic to workflows. - Published: 2025-02-24 - Modified: 2025-01-28 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/build-smarter-integrations-with-cyclrs-logic-tools - Categories: Blog, Developer, Embedded iPaaS, Native Integration, Product - Tags: Cyclr, Integrations Cyclr offers a selection of tools in the integration workflow builder that allows users to add logic to their integration workflows. These tools are not related to specific Connectors and can be dragged and dropped into workflows as steps. There are six primary logic tools available in the Builder; Decision, Delay, Wait Until, Wait All, Annotation, and Switch. They enable users to add further flexibility, timing, decision-making, and clarity to workflows. Let’s take a deeper dive into these tools and have a look at their functionality and practical applications. Decision Step: Guiding Data Through Logical Paths The Decision step makes it possible to branch workflows down two separate paths, depending on the logic added to it. It uses Boolean values and has two Exit points, TRUE and FALSE. There are 10 different condition criteria that the Decision Step can check. Users can only select one condition per Decision step. Here’s a quick guide on what each of the conditions mean and how they differ from each other: Exists: Checks if the variable or object that has been set is initialised in the workflow. The Exists condition can be used to see whether a variable or an object is present. Also if it has been created before attempting to use it. This can prevent errors in the cycle run. Not Exists: The opposite of “Exists”, is “Not Exists” checks that the object has not been created. It can be useful in determining whether something should be initialised or created if it... --- ### What is Rate Limiting? > Rate limiting is a restriction on an API used to control the number of API calls a user makes to a network or server in a specific period. - Published: 2025-02-17 - Modified: 2025-01-22 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-rate-limiting - Categories: Blog, Developer, iPaaS, Product - Tags: Integrations, rate limiting, SaaS What is it and what does rate limiting do? Rate limiting is a restriction on an API used to control the rate or number of times a user makes a request/API call to a network, server or other resource in a specific period. For instance, login attempts to an account. API Rate limits are used to manage network traffic for an API and prevent excessive or abusive use of a resource. This ensures it is available to all users.   The Different Types of API Rate Limiting There are multiple types of rate limiting that an organisation may implement to control requests made to an API.   User Rate Limits User rate limits are the most popular rate-limiting method and work by identifying the number of requests a given user makes. This is usually done by tracking the user’s IP address or API key. Once a user has exceeded their specified limit it will trigger the app to deny further requests. The rate-limit timeframe will need to reset and the user can then try again. If the issue continually arises users can ask developers to increase their rate limit. Geographic Rate Limits Geographic rate limits allow developers to further secure applications in a given geographic region. This is done by setting a rate limit for each specific region for a specified timeframe. For example, it can be predicted that users in a given region will be less active between midnight and 9:00 am. Therefore, developers can define a lower rate... --- ### Love Letter to Cyclr: The SaaS Integration Partner of your Dreams > Discover why Cyclr is the ultimate B2B SaaS integration partner.

Product Spotlight Keeping on-prem applications connected with SSH Connectors  In January we launched our SSH (Secure Shell) Connector, and our CTO Nic Butler explained how they work to connect with o-prem data. Essentially, the SSH connector is a ‘pipe’ used from the site to the on-prem application to retrieve and process the data through Cyclr.   For example, to connect to a remote desktop in the cloud or a remote desktop on someone else’s machine. Similar technology allows one user to control the machine as if they were sitting there. If say a colleague is having an issue with their security software there’s an application on Windows that allows them to hook... --- ### Simplify Template Management with GitHub Integration > Discover how to to use one of Cyclr's latest product features, the GitHub Integration. This guide will take you through the set up and other key features. - Published: 2025-02-03 - Modified: 2025-01-23 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/simplify-template-management-with-github-integration - Categories: Blog, Developer, Product - Tags: Cyclr, Integrations, New Feature Managing integration templates can be challenging, especially when working across multiple environments. To help mitigate this challenging task, Cyclr has introduced a new feature in the platform that allows users to integrate Cyclr with GitHub. Previously exporting and importing templates required users to download templates as JSON files. The new GitHub Integration feature offers a simple and efficient way to export and import Template Releases directly to and from a user's GitHub repository.   Introducing GitHub Integration Connecting the Cyclr Console directly to a GitHub repository enables businesses to quickly transfer templates between Consoles. It’s particularly beneficial for teams managing multiple environments (like development, staging, and production) or those needing an efficient way to share integration templates across Consoles. This nifty new feature helps teams manage integration templates in a more efficient and flexible way, whether they’re transferring them between Consoles, setting up backups, or collaborating between teams.   The GitHub Integration feature is available to any Console Users who have the appropriate permissions. To be able to manage GitHub integration, the Console User must have the “Edit” permission for GitHub Integration enabled, as well as permissions for exporting and importing Template Releases. Users should get in touch with their organization’s Console Administrator if access is required for the GitHub Integration. Getting Started with GitHub Integration Setting up GitHub integration with Cyclr starts by creating a personal access token with “Read and write” permissions in GitHub account settings. This token is required to provide Cyclr access to the repository. How... --- ### What is an SSH (Secure Shell) Connector?  > Discover what an SSH Connector is and how it can be used with Cyclr an embedded integration platform to reach on-prem SaaS applications. - Published: 2025-01-27 - Modified: 2025-01-15 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-an-ssh-secure-shell-connector - Categories: Blog, Developer, Product - Tags: Cyclr, Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS Application Connectivity Application connectivity is typically cloud-based SaaS applications such as Salesforce, and HubSpot. These apps have bits and bobs within them that allow for easy connectivity due to their APIs. As a result, data can move between them.   Cyclr is in between these apps, talking to their web servers using services such as webhooks or APIs. Those APIs will then speak to Cyclr’s application layer. This gets the data from the database and so on. Cyclr is essentially another SaaS application in the cloud with web servers, with an application layer, schedulers, databases etc. All of these things have been built with connectivity in mind. Therefore, it is easy to get data out of Salesforce, HubSpot and other SaaS applications through Cyclr because SaaS applications that have created APIs want and allow you to do that. What about an On-Prem App with no API? One common scenario is an individual working in a warehouse or distribution centre on a local Windows application with all the data required. This data could be on the PC’s hard disk, on a local network, or even in the cloud. The application might be off-the-shelf software or perhaps custom-built by their organisation. But, from Cyclr’s perspective, there is no way to connect to that application. This is because there isn’t a connector we could have created as no API exists for that app.   So how does Cyclr get this on-prem data? It requires a pipe from the site to the on-prem application... --- ### SaaS Product Developement Strategy: Who is a SaaS Product Owner? > Who is a SaaS product owner? Learn how we updated our product strategy to improve development and product ownership. - Published: 2025-01-20 - Modified: 2024-12-04 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/saas-product-developement-strategy-who-is-a-saas-product-owner - Categories: Blog, Product, SaaS - Tags: IPaaS, SaaS The product isn’t mine. The product is ours. When my co-founder retired earlier this year we had an opportunity to rethink our strategy around product development and to rip up all of our previous processes. Nine months on I am delighted with the (evolving) new process and coherency of our SaaS product strategy. So, what have we changed over the course of 2024? Developing our SaaS Product Strategy In Cyclr's early years, we were firmly ‘founder-led’ in product direction and feature prioritisation. It was consultative across the team but somewhat dictatorial. This was an appropriate strategy for the early days of Cyclr because our market was new and we were first to market with an embedded iPaaS concept. Therefore, we needed to implement our initial vision. However, this has now changed and we've made four key improvements to our product strategy. Four Product Strategy Improvements One: Capability Statements As Founders, we were guilty of having a particular vision of what we wanted to achieve, but not necessarily documenting it in an easy-to-digest format. This isn't referring to the specification but the RATIONALE for the development. Fast-forward nine months and we now have internally available capability statements for all to consume. Capability statements are a formal document that summarises core competencies, achievements, and unique selling points. For instance, the core competencies, goals and unique selling points of a feature in development. Two: Team Wide Contribution In the past, the Founders would have sole ownership of the SaaS product and be responsible... --- ### SaaS and iPaaS Integration Predictions for 2025 > Discover Cyclr's SaaS and iPaaS integration predictions for 2025 and how senior leaders should stay ahead of the trends. - Published: 2025-01-13 - Modified: 2025-05-08 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/saas-and-ipaas-integration-predictions-for-2025 - Categories: AI, Blog, iPaaS, SaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS 2024 has seen growth and spending in the software and SaaS industry, with spending growing by 17. 9% over the past 12 months. But it’s been tough. People are still buying and renewing software for their businesses, but it is taking longer. It is also costing them more and they are looking much more closely. The growth that did occur in 2024 can be attributed to several reasons one prominent occurrence is the increased investment in AI and machine learning. As well as many large enterprises increasing their pricing reflecting the broader trend of increasing cost in the SaaS sector. By the end of 2024, Gartner predicts that SaaS will remain the largest segment of the cloud market in end-user spending. SaaS spending is projected to grow 20% to a total of $247. 2 billion in 2024. So, what does 2025 look like for SaaS and iPaaS integration? It’s the time of year when the crystal ball comes out and we attempt to predict what is coming up in SaaS and iPaaS integration for the year ahead. Predictions for 2025 Further adoption of vertical SaaS and micro-SaaS As businesses seek tailored solutions to meet their specific needs, the adoption of vertical SaaS—software targeting specific industries—and micro-SaaS—niche-focused, lightweight software—will gain momentum. Unlike generic SaaS offerings, vertical SaaS solutions provide functionality designed for particular sectors, such as healthcare, real estate, or education. These applications streamline workflows and improve efficiency with minimal customisation, making them invaluable in highly specialised fields. Micro-SaaS, on the... --- ### Sales Values from a SaaS CEO’s Perspective > Discover Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson's early learnings from his sales career and how he still uses them today at Cyclr. - Published: 2025-01-06 - Modified: 2024-11-12 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/sales-values-from-a-saas-ceos-perspective - Categories: Blog, SaaS - Tags: SaaS, SaaS sales Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson was reflecting on his early sales career with the team. It reminded him of the values he learnt early on and has used throughout his career. The Early Days of Sales I started sales in 1996, aged 21, as a door-knocking salesman. I was a London rep, for Interflon Scotland Ltd. This job involved visiting industrial estates - cold calling - and selling Teflon-infused industrial lubricants. During this time I met and worked alongside Jim Craig, whom I am eternally grateful to for teaching me the skills and craft. As it is his teachings that have stayed with me throughout my career. I could never match Jim’s charisma and charm - but I could build and develop on his lessons. Across a couple of summers, I went from door-knocking golf clubs and small industrial units to knocking on the door of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (Wimbledon) and Mars UK on the Slough Trading Estate. I fortunately made sales in both instances. There wasn't much glamour at the time, but there were core values I learned: Empathize and resonate with who you are selling to, it's important to remember that you are selling to a person. You'll be a better salesperson if you can view it from their point of view as well as from a sales perspective. Sell benefits not features, when in the throughs of a sales conversation remember to sell the benefits of the product or service you represent. Consumers want to... --- ### Cyclr 2024 Product Highlights > Explore Cyclr product highlights for 2024 from new product features to a sleek website makeover. - Published: 2024-12-23 - Modified: 2024-12-13 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/cyclr-2024-product-highlights - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, Product - Tags: Cyclr, IPaaS, New Feature As the year draws to a close, we wanted to reflect on the past year and take a look at the strides we’ve made with the platform, delving into Cyclr product highlights in 2024.

Embedded integration platforms provide not only the tools to build and deploy integrations and marketplaces but also integration reporting tools. These are designed to help users monitor usage, track activity and see overall account health. Within Cyclr, a leading integration platform these reporting options are found in the ‘Reports’ tab of the console. The application provides a variety of reports as well as the ability to export them as CSV files onto a user’s machine. We are going to go through the reports available to users and why they are useful.   Task Usage Firstly, what does Cyclr mean when referring to a ‘task’? There are numerous elements considered tasks in Cyclr for instance, when a user makes an API call to an external system or processes data on a step in a workflow. These are both logged in the user’s usage as a task. A task is also an action that is deemed successful and typically recorded or identified as receiving an HTTP 2xx Status Code when making a call. Finally, a task is also logged if an action is unsuccessful or results in an error, this is referred to as ‘Incident Task’. This is identified as receiving an HTTP 4xx or 5xx Status Code.   The Task Usage Report can be located in each user’s console dashboard. It shows the total number of used and remaining tasks for the... --- ### Badly Designed Workflows Can Result in Disaster: Why API Integration and Performance Matter > Discover how badly designed workflows can result in a disaster for your SaaS and impact end-users experience. - Published: 2024-12-09 - Modified: 2024-11-12 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/badly-designed-workflows-can-result-in-disaster - Categories: Blog, Developer, Product - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS Seamless workflows drive successful products and services. They ensure that users accomplish tasks efficiently, that teams collaborate effectively, and that data flows smoothly across systems. However, badly designed workflows, especially in API-driven integrations, can lead to performance bottlenecks, user frustration, and even catastrophic business failures. This is especially important for technical and product managers who must consider both user experience and operational performance. We explore how bad workflow design can snowball into larger issues, how API integrations play a role, and what product and technical managers can do to avoid integration pitfalls. The Ripple Effect of Bad Workflow Design Workflows define how users, systems, and teams interact to accomplish tasks. Inadequate workflows, such as excessive steps or complex user paths, can lead to problems at every level of the organisation: User Frustration: Long, unclear workflows create a frustrating user experience, reducing engagement and increasing churn rates. Team Inefficiencies: Poor workflows hinder internal teams, especially when systems don’t communicate effectively, leading to productivity loss and communication silos. Data Integrity Issues: Without careful design, workflows can lead to data inconsistencies, which degrade the quality of insights derived from analytics. The Role of API Integrations Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are essential to modern software workflows, allowing different systems to communicate and share data. Integrating APIs in workflows allows organisations to add powerful capabilities without reinventing the wheel. However, API integrations require careful consideration to ensure performance, security, and scalability. Some common issues that can arise from poorly planned API integrations include: Latency and... --- ### How to Build an Integration Marketplace > Discover how to build an integration marketplace with leading integration platform Cyclr, we take you through build, design and deployment. - Published: 2024-12-02 - Modified: 2024-10-24 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-to-build-an-integration-marketplace - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Developer, Product - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS A marketplace is a great way for any SaaS application to showcase features, products and integrations.

The subscription model, however, is not without its challenges. Companies may face high cancellation rates, uncertainty in revenue, and pressure to continually provide valuable new features. On the bright side, there are many tools today designed to help businesses manage subscriptions more efficiently to keep customers happy and operations running smoothly.   In this article, we take a look at 8 popular subscription management tools designed to streamline business processes. We evaluate their pros and cons, unearthing what features and capabilities makes them a value-adding tool worth investing in. What is a subscription business model? A subscription business model is a revenue strategy in which customers pay a selection of fixed fees at regular intervals to access or use a product or service. The schedule of payments offered is at the businesses' discretion. Often, customers can choose from biweekly, monthly, or annual subscriptions. This strategy enables businesses to generate a regular revenue stream. Some of the most common industries that use the subscription model are video streaming services like YouTube and Netflix, SaaS companies like Figma, and learning platforms like Duolingo.   How a B2B subscription... --- ### Introducing Cyclr’s Switch Step: Enhance Integration Workflows with Branching > The Switch Step is a powerful branching tool capable of further enhancing integration workflows with control and customisation. - Published: 2024-11-18 - Modified: 2024-11-04 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/introducing-switch-step-enhance-integration-workflows-with-branching - Categories: Blog, Developer, Product - Tags: Integrations, New Feature Integration workflows can route data based on specific criteria and significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of business processes. Embedded integration platforms provide several tools to enhance the routing of said data, one such tool is the Switch Step. The Switch Step recently released by Cyclr enables users with the ability to split data in workflows and send it down multiple branches. The splitting occurs based on specific conditions set by the user. This tool offers a solution for branching data within integration workflows when a simple true/false path isn’t applicable. What is the Switch Step? The Switch Step is a tool created for users of Cyclr to branch their workflows based on specific conditions. It is especially useful when a Yes/No or True/False isn’t applicable to the data in question. Instead, it allows users to define multiple use cases. These use cases are based on the data flowing through the integration. The data will then follow different paths and match with the right use case. If no match is found a default path is provided. This means all the data is handled and not missed. Key features of Switch Step include: Data Branching: The Switch Step allows users to split data into multiple paths, each defined by a case that is set up within the tool. Case-Insensitive Matching: The tool performs case-insensitive comparisons, ensuring that variations in capitalisation do not affect the outcome.

Understanding MACH is critical for driving future-proof software initiatives. More importantly, if you are API-first, adopting an embedded integration platform as a service (iPaaS) is crucial. This is because it will streamline operations and maximise MACH’s full potential. What is MACH Architecture? MACH stands for Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless. This architecture is constructed from modular, interchangeable components that enhance agility, provide smooth omnichannel interactions, and facilitate flexible integration management. It represents a swiftly advancing method for creating contemporary digital technology frameworks. MACH technologies drive the concept of composable infrastructure, which consists of adaptable, scalable, and replaceable parts. These can be perpetually refined through agile development. As a result, they'll address changing business demands and requirements. Breaking Down MACH The MACH architecture combines four key principles to create a flexible, modular approach to software development: Microservices is an architectural approach that divides extensive applications into smaller, independent services, each handling a specific function. Each service is loosely coupled, meaning they can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. API-first refers to APIs being prioritised from the outset of development. This allows seamless integration between different systems and components. Cloud-native describes applications specifically built for deployment in cloud environments, MACH applications are built to take advantage of the cloud's elasticity, scalability, and resilience.... --- ### What are integration templates? > Discover what Cyclr means when we refer to integration templates and how they can be utilised by users to reduce integration building times. - Published: 2024-10-01 - Modified: 2025-01-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-are-integration-templates - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS In Cyclr, integration templates refer to a pre-built, reusable integration setup that can be deployed multiple times for different users. Below is an example of what the Template Library looks like in a Cyclr console. These templates are designed using Cyclr's low-code tools and include predefined workflows that connect various applications via API connectors. They can be copied, renamed and edited with ease. Once an integration template is created, it can be customised by end-users through configuration options like mapping fields, setting triggers, and authenticating apps. The templates allow users to customise integrations based on their specific needs without needing to rebuild the integration from scratch. For instance, the integration template below can be adjusted and customised to suit individual needs without changing the original. They can handle error management, data splitting, and logging at different steps in the workflow. Cyclr supports various integration deployment scenarios, such as manual installation by admins or self-service by end-users through a built-in marketplace. The image below demonstrates a range of pre-built Salesforce integrations available for users to install themselves.

In the SaaS industry and tech world, we often debate product adoption strategies. Every conference I go to I am sold the benefits of going ‘all in’ on Product Led Growth. Give the prospect access to the product with no/minimal intervention. I have even seen VCs that will only invest in PLG businesses. But I am not a buyer of this for Cyclr.   What do we do at Cyclr? PLG to me is a high-volume, low engagement, play. At Cyclr I am much more in favour of a lower volume, high engagement, strategy. We use some elements of PLG in our go-to-market. But we are heavily weighted towards a model where we work with prospects to ensure our product is fit for their needs. They receive guidance early to ensure they are comfortable with their prospective purchase. We want to help prospects on their buying journey - not abandon them to their buying journey. PLG can work well for SaaS products with a light footprint, and it's often praised for its efficiency and scalability. But there are situations where I believe a more hands-on, "handheld", approach can be advantageous. A B2B SaaS Context This is especially true in a B2B SaaS context. These products are deeply integrated into a business's operations such as embedded iPaaS. The two-way partnership between... --- ### What is a Unified API? > Discover what a unified API is and how it works with Cyclr, we explain how they work and why they can be useful for integration. - Published: 2024-09-04 - Modified: 2024-11-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/resources/video/what-is-a-unified-api - Categories: Video - Tags: Video --- ### Private Cloud: What is it? > Learn what a private cloud is and how it can be utilised by SaaS and enterprise organisations for enhanced security and protection. - Published: 2024-09-04 - Modified: 2024-11-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/resources/video/private-cloud-what-is-it - Categories: Video - Tags: Video --- ### ENHANCE your integrations with powerful Utilities like CYCLR’S XUP Connector > Cyclr's powerful XUP connector can further enhance integration workflows and improve your end-users experience. - Published: 2024-09-04 - Modified: 2024-11-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/resources/video/enhance-your-integrations-with-powerful-utilities-like-cyclrs-xup-connector - Categories: Video - Tags: Video --- ### How can an iPaaS help tackle Zombie APIs? > APIs have become the backbone of the digital world but with the proliferation of APIs, a new challenge has emerged: Zombie APIs. - Published: 2024-09-02 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-can-an-ipaas-help-tackle-zombie-apis - Categories: API, Blog, Developer, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: API, Integrations, IPaaS APIs have become the backbone of the internet and digital transformation. They facilitate seamless integration, enable the rapid development of new services, and drive innovation by connecting disparate systems. However, with the proliferation of APIs, a new challenge has emerged: Zombie APIs. These are APIs that are no longer in active use but remain operational, consuming resources and potentially exposing vulnerabilities. According to one recent study, the average number of APIs in use by survey respondents was over 15,000. And for large enterprises with more than 10,000 employees, the average rose to more than 25,000. We will explore how an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) can help organisations tackle the problem of Zombie APIs effectively. Understanding Zombie APIs Zombie APIs are akin to abandoned houses in a neighbourhood. They were once built and used but have since fallen into disuse. Despite no longer serving any active purpose, they continue to exist, consuming resources such as computational power, memory, and network bandwidth. As a result, unused APIs can become security liabilities, providing potential entry points for malicious actors. The rise of Zombie APIs can be attributed to several factors. For instance, in the rush to innovate, APIs are often developed and deployed without a robust lifecycle management plan. Also, an organisation may lack comprehensive visibility into their API landscape, making it difficult to track which APIs are still in use. Finally, decommissioning APIs is often not prioritised, leading to abandoned APIs lingering in the system. The Role of iPaaS An... --- ### To AI or Not To AI? > Fraser follows on from his post about AI and whether it's a match made in heaven with embedded iPaaS and whether AI will be adopted by Cyclr. - Published: 2024-08-26 - Modified: 2025-04-17 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/to-ai-or-not-to-ai - Categories: AI, Blog, Cyclr, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: Cyclr, IPaaS That’ll not be too AI for me, please. Cyclr is sailing against the wind, why? Building on my discussion, Are AI Platforms and Embedded iPaaS a Match Made in Heaven? from about a month ago, I thought I’d double down on where I left off. Don’t get me wrong, AI is awesome—awesomely powerful, awesome potential. I love it. At Cyclr we partner with many AI vendors and provide them with a controlled integration ecosystem. This is so they can securely access third-party data their applications need on a customer-by-customer basis. This works very well and Cyclr partnering with AI vendors makes a lot of sense. However, my decision as CEO is currently not to develop AI inside Cyclr. I recognise this stance is contrary particularly when (and I admire them a lot) other iPaaS vendors such as tray. io have gone all-in and wholesale rebranded as tray. ai. Reasons for leaving AI out of our Embedded iPaaS The strongest positive argument for AI within an iPaaS platform is that AI can help with integration flow creation. This can be particularly powerful when users are less technical. As Rich, the CEO of Tray, says in his video, their vision is that ‘anyone can resolve their problems without the constraints of technology’. I am a buyer if it is for your own internal purposes. So, why not do the same at Cyclr? Well, our audience isn’t users or companies that self-determine their comfort with the use of AI for their own individual/internal... --- ### What is a Private Cloud? > Discover private cloud, how it compares to on-prem and how using a private cloud coupled with an embedded iPaaS works for integration. - Published: 2024-08-19 - Modified: 2024-11-08 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-a-private-cloud - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, iPaaS - Tags: Infrastructure, Private Cloud Businesses continually seek ways to enhance their IT infrastructure for greater efficiency, security, and scalability. One prominent solution that has emerged is the private cloud. Understanding what a private cloud is and how it operates, especially compared to traditional on-premises options, is crucial for executives aiming to make informed decisions about their organisation’s IT strategy. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=zP-BiunhibE Understanding Private Cloud A private cloud is a computing environment dedicated exclusively to a single organisation. Unlike public clouds, which serve multiple tenants, a private cloud offers a highly secure and customisable infrastructure that can be either hosted on-premises or managed by a third-party service provider. The primary advantage of a private cloud lies in its ability to deliver cloud benefits—such as scalability, flexibility, and resource efficiency—within a controlled and secure setting. Private Cloud vs. On-Premises Solutions Traditionally, businesses relied on on-premises IT solutions, where servers, storage, and networking equipment are owned, managed, and maintained internally. While this model provides complete control over the infrastructure, it also entails significant capital expenditure, maintenance costs, and scalability challenges. In contrast, a private cloud leverages virtualisation technology to abstract and pool computing resources, which can then be dynamically allocated as needed. This approach offers several advantages over traditional on-premises solutions. Firstly, private clouds can scale resources up or down based on demand, ensuring optimal utilisation without the need for substantial upfront investments. Secondly, by using a private cloud, organisations can reduce hardware and maintenance costs while benefiting from a pay-as-you-go model.   Thirdly, private... --- ### Navigating SaaS Pricing from a CEO Perspective > A pricing strategy is crucial to the core of any business plan and Cyclr CEO Fraser has been thinking about the impact of SaaS pricing. - Published: 2024-08-12 - Modified: 2024-07-23 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/navigating-saas-pricing-from-a-ceo-perspective - Categories: Blog, SaaS - Tags: Pricing, SaaS A pricing strategy is crucial to the core of any business plan. It impacts all aspects, including profitability and the perception of your brand's worth. Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson has been thinking about the impact of SaaS pricing and is sharing his insights. SaaS Pricing Strategies SaaS pricing strategies have been a lot on my mind lately. This was prompted by speaking to a couple of early-stage founders, and I wanted to share some insights and thoughts that have been brewing.   My views on pricing have been informed by my years at Cyclr and, more importantly, by all the start-ups I have been directly and indirectly involved in over the years. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I hope my experience might resonate. Appropriate SaaS Pricing One of the biggest pitfalls I've observed is that many young tech start-ups don’t price their product based on the problem they’re solving for their customers. As well as the quality of that resolution. Instead, they price based on what competitors charge. If a competitor sets their price at £99 p/m, they want to match it. It’s an easy option, don’t let price be the barrier to sale. However, I find this approach lacks finesse and an understanding of your unique value proposition. Understand your Market Position and Product Value Every market, including software, has premium and budget products. You need confidence in your market positioning and your product, or you'll inevitably default to competing solely on price. This is... --- ### How Cyclr Combines Low-Code and Code-Driven Integration Building > Learn how Cyclr combines low-code and code-driven integrations within its powerful embedded iPaaS so user's can achieve integration prowess. - Published: 2024-08-05 - Modified: 2024-11-21 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-cyclr-combines-low-code-and-code-driven-integration-building - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Developer, Embedded iPaaS, Low Code - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS An iPaaS or embedded iPaaS is a powerful platform designed to simplify the process of connecting and integrating different software systems.

Moreover, in an era defined by rapid digital transformation, data serves as the linchpin connecting disparate facets of business operations. As a result, it enables agility and adaptability in response to evolving market dynamics. A classic data-driven success story is Netflix. The popular streaming service heavily relies on data to drive its decision-making processes, from content creation to user interface design. By analysing viewer data, Netflix can identify trends, preferences, and viewing habits. This information helps them create and promote content that resonates with their audience. For instance, the recommendation algorithm suggests personalised content based on individual user preferences, leading to increased user engagement and retention. This data-driven approach has contributed to Netflix becoming one of the leading streaming services globally.

To utilise the connection and access the operations within your custom connector, you must first establish a connection to your API. In other words, a connector is a wrapper around an API. This wrapper makes it easy for low-code developers to take actions and trigger workflows. Why would you build a custom connector? So, why would you want to build a custom connector? We can think of a couple of reasons. Firstly, the API exists, but the connector doesn’t and you need to work with the API. Secondly, the connector exists, but it's not perfect and you need it to be customised or a completed version. Thirdly, the API is being built by you and you want to build a connector in parallel, to drive usage.   Ultimately, you want to build a custom connector to tackle some of your fringe use cases. Pre-built connectors are great for common and widely used cases but can fall short when it comes to niche needs. This could be handling unconventional file structures or connecting unique data sources.   Cyclr has a library of 500+ pre-built connectors and we’ve made it possible for you to create custom connectors as well. These connectors are private to your organisation and only usable by you! How to create custom connectors We have built a dedicated Connector Creation Toolkit that enables you to build your own. The beauty of the toolkit... --- ### What are the pros and cons of using third-party APIs? > APIs in general knit together the fabric of the digital world, we explore the pros and cons of third-party APIs and why you may need them. - Published: 2024-04-22 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-using-third-party-apis - Categories: API, Blog, Developer - Tags: API, Integrations APIs are knitting together businesses and the digital world. There are two common types of API, there is First-party APIs. These are built and utilised internally within an organisation. Secondly, there are Third-party APIs, which are externally created and incorporated into different applications to enhance their capabilities. Major players in the API sector include popular third-party applications such as marketing CRMs like Monday. com and HubSpot, widely-used office tools Google Sheets and Jira, as well as security-focused accounting software Sage and QuickBooks. While each of them has unique approaches to data flow, there are common elements that contribute to the success of their APIs. Characteristics of the best APIs  Joe Lander is one of Cyclr’s Connector Developers and shared his top third-party API characteristics. "For those who want to pick up and go, here are the 4 key elements I have seen in the best APIs our team loves to work with. " Consistent naming of endpoints Documentation first API building A standard approach to authentication Simple & conventional structure Using third-party APIs can have several advantages and disadvantages, let's explore them. Advantages Time-Saving Third-party APIs allow developers to leverage pre-built functionalities, saving time in development.

Scalability Many third-party APIs are designed to handle large volumes of requests and... --- ### How Cyclr handles authentication of third-party SaaS applications > There are several different authentication methods today we look at how Cyclr handles authentication with third-party SaaS apps. - Published: 2024-04-15 - Modified: 2024-04-18 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-cyclr-handles-authentication-of-third-party-saas-applications - Categories: API, Blog, Connectors - Tags: API, Connectors, Integrations Authentication is a crucial pillar of API security and is the process of verifying the identity of a user making an API request. As an embedded integration platform, we need to ensure that our system has enough flexibility to handle all the different flavours of authentication that API vendors provide. What does authentication mean? Firstly, authentication is the procedure of verifying the identity of an individual or an object. Authentication concerning APIs refers to verifying a user's identity before making requests to the API. There are many different authentication methods and flows that APIs can employ as well as bespoke authentication protocols. What are the common authentication methods? Cyclr supports various authentication types and, sometimes with the addition of scripting, it is possible to establish a connection with any API. Here are the authentication methods available for use with Cyclr:  ApiKey: The user should provide an API key as the HTTP header for the connector. Basic: The API uses HTTP basic authentication. OAuth1: The API uses OAuth 1. 0a authentication. Requires: ClientId (also known as ConsumerKey), ClientSecret (also known as ConsumerSecret), RequestTokenUrl, AuthorizeUrl, AccessTokenUrl. OAuth2: The API uses OAuth 2 authentication. Requires: ClientId, ClientSecret, AuthoriseUrl, AccessTokenUrl. None: No authentication. AuthFields: The API needs to inject authentication fields into the POST message. Requires: Name, Key, Type. Cyclr and Authentication Different connectors use different authentication methods. Many use OAuth, but you can also use basic usernames and passwords or API Keys.   Within Cyclr you can either authenticate the Connector at the... --- ### How to leverage AI in your Saas Integration? > Leverage AI integrations with Cyclr, we go through an AI-inspired use case to demonstrate how automation and AI can work together. - Published: 2024-04-08 - Modified: 2025-04-17 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-to-leverage-ai-in-your-saas-integration - Categories: AI, Blog, Low Code, Product - Tags: Cyclr, Integrations, SaaS, use case In the ever-evolving digital landscape, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into SaaS platforms and applications has become a critical strategy for any business or enterprise aiming to stay ahead. AI is most likely here to stay, and if utilised effectively, it can improve your business operations significantly. So, how do we leverage AI in integrations? For example, you can employ AI to automate workflows, enhance user experiences, and deliver intelligent services. Wilson Cheng, one of Cyclr’s Account Executives, built a use case in Cyclr.

One way is to deliver user-configurable integration without your end-users ever seeing a separate integration vendor. Instead, the deployment sits within your application and integrations are delivered via a marketplace with tools built on our API and served up in your app’s UI. What does user-configurable integrations mean? PC Mag defines user-configurable, as software that enables users to make some amount of configuration changes from a predefined set. This means users can configure appearance, actions and preferences within an application and operating system. At Cyclr we provide a low-code builder where you can create integration templates for your end-users. These templates are built once and can be deployed multiple times. These integration templates or user-configurable integrations are delivered to your end-users in a couple of ways (we’ll get to that shortly). In this delivery state, they can customise integrations further to suit their needs. This customisation may be in the form of completing field mappings and customisations, as well as authenticating Connectors. What delivery scenarios are possible with Cyclr? When you build integration templates in Cyclr they can either be manually installed into your client’s Accounts or offered to clients for self-installation. So, let’s take a look at three deployment scenarios that are possible.   Invisible Cyclr has no footprint in the host UI, instead, integrations are set up by your team on behalf of users. This is the fastest deployment solution and is... --- ### Connecting SaaS Ecosystems: What is a unified API? > A unified API is a single interface that aggregates and standardises communication between different software components or systems. - Published: 2024-03-25 - Modified: 2024-09-10 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/connecting-saas-ecosystems-what-is-a-unified-api - Categories: API, Blog, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: API, Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS A Unified API and an embedded Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) are both solutions aimed at simplifying and streamlining the integration of various software applications within an organisation. However, they differ in their approaches and functionalities. What is a unified API? A Unified API, also known as a Universal API, is a single interface. It aggregates and standardises communication between different software components or systems and acts as a common gateway. This allows diverse applications to interact seamlessly without the need for custom integration for each pair of systems.   The Unified API abstracts the underlying complexities of the various systems involved. As a result, it presents a consistent interface for developers to work with. This fosters interoperability, reduces integration efforts, and enhances overall system agility. According to G2, Unified APIs can also be referred to as universal or normalized APIs. “They provide a single “meta" API that is used to interact with multiple software applications within the same category. ”  Unified APIs and SaaS  SaaS providers use these tools to improve the ease of building customer-facing integrations to multiple applications in the same category. For instance, accounting, banking, cloud storage, CRM, email, HR, payroll, or scheduling systems. They can save teams significant time and resources when building numerous similar integrations. For example, a SaaS product team may want to provide their customers with integrations that import employee data from multiple HR systems into their application. Rather than building a separate integration to each HR system, they can build... --- ### Deploying Your SaaS Infrastructure on Different Hosting Providers: Navigating Key Differences > The decision of where to deploy your SaaS infrastructure is a pivotal factor in determining the success and scalability of your solution. - Published: 2024-03-18 - Modified: 2024-04-18 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/deploying-your-saas-infrastructure-on-different-hosting-providers - Categories: Blog, SaaS - Tags: Infrastructure, SaaS In the dynamic landscape of Software as a Service (SaaS), the strategic decision of where to deploy your SaaS infrastructure stands as a pivotal factor in determining the success and scalability of your solution. As businesses increasingly embrace multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures, navigating different hosting providers' distinctive features and nuances becomes paramount. Understanding the Landscape: Popular SaaS Infrastructure Providers To understand the hosting landscape, let's look at major players like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These well-known entities offer a range of solutions, each designed with unique features to meet various business needs. These widely fall into four key areas: Performance Considering performance involves balancing speed, latency, and reliability. Different hosting providers showcase unique infrastructural architectures that respond differently in operational scenarios, requiring a thorough examination. Scalability Scalability, at its core, is the ability to manage resources according to growing business requirements dynamically. Evaluating the scalability options provided by each hosting provider becomes crucial for adapting seamlessly to evolving demands. Cost On the financial front, understanding pricing structures is essential. Therefore, navigating through hidden costs, various pricing models, and potential discounts requires a discerning approach to avoid unforeseen financial challenges and runaway bills. Data Security and Compliance In an era marked by heightened data sensitivities and strict regulatory frameworks, prioritizing data security and compliance is crucial. Variations in security measures and certification adherence across hosting providers necessitate scrutiny to ensure alignment with the ethical and legal requirements of your SaaS offering. The Pros and Cons... --- ### Key Enterprise Integration Considerations: Data Processing and Compliance > Cyclr CEO discusses the role and importance of data processing and compliance for when a large enterprise is looking for an embedded iPaaS. - Published: 2024-03-11 - Modified: 2024-04-18 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/key-enterprise-integration-considerations-data-processing-and-compliance - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS Daniel, Cyclr’s Head of Marketing sat down with Cyclr’s CEO Fraser Davidson and chatted about integration. Specifically about enterprise integration, data processing and compliance and how they play a crucial role in the consideration process. How soon into the process of engaging with clients does data hosting and processing get focused on with an Enterprise client? If you're dealing with a young company it is more than likely you'll be talking to a single decision-maker. They cover all elements of the buying process.   When you deal with a large enterprise, your first contact might not that have the decision-making capability. Due to them being in an exploratory phase. However, very quickly, other elements of the business will get involved. Especially in the proof of concept and other technical conversations regarding data. For instance, where the data is being processed, and how the infrastructure is deployed. This will quickly become a key purchasing and buying criterion.   When it comes to private deployments and managing their infrastructure suite, what kind of benefits does that bring to their DevOps/infrastructure teams? Ultimately, it comes down to corporate preference. For instance, if they choose the self-hosted, self-management route they would prefer to have control of the DevOps environment. As well as control the infrastructure to keep data processing under their umbrella. This is rather than a subprocessor like an integration provider.   On the other hand, they could prefer managed service options. This is whereby it's private cloud, single tenancy, scalable infrastructure, but... --- ### Key Integration Considerations and How Enterprise Integration Creators Help Tackle Backlog > Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson discusses who uses an embedded iPaaS within an enterprise and how these integration creators are tackling backlog. - Published: 2024-03-04 - Modified: 2024-03-04 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/key-integration-considerations-and-how-enterprise-integration-creators-help-tackle-backlog - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, Low Code - Tags: Citizen Integrators, Integrations, IPaaS Daniel, Cyclr’s Head of Marketing sat down with Cyclr’s CEO Fraser Davidson and chatted about integration. Specifically about enterprise integration and integration creators and how they are helping to reduce development backlog. Who do you see within companies becoming responsible for enterprise integrations when using an embedded iPaaS? The great benefit of embedded iPaaS is that it is an entire ecosystem for your integrations. It is built solely for that purpose. There's no custom development per se going on when you're building integrations.  It is a low-code, GUI environment first which means you don't have to be a technical developer to deliver an integration. Instead, you’re someone who has an understanding of the customer's needs, the data flows and data movements.  This makes you an ideal integration creator. In other words, an embedded iPaaS implemented by an enterprise can empower its customer success teams to create and build workflows or prototype them. As a result, integrations are brought to market rapidly. As well as this while working with an embedded iPaaS, which is effectively acting as middleware between the enterprise's API and the world. When customer success teams roll out a new integration there isn’t any fundamental development required within the architecture of the enterprise. This is because we are dealing with their public API. In the same way, anybody integrating with it will deal with their public API.   They can therefore add projects on a very tight timeline. These can be achieved without having to go into a... --- ### Key Enterprise Integration Considerations with Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson > Cyclr CEO Fraser Davidson answers questions regarding key enterprise integration considerations and where an embedded iPaaS fits. - Published: 2024-02-26 - Modified: 2024-08-13 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/key-enterprise-integration-considerations - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, iPaaS, Low Code - Tags: enterprise, Integrations, IPaaS Daniel, Cyclr’s Head of Marketing sat down with Cyclr’s CEO Fraser Davidson and chatted about integration. Specifically about enterprise integration and the considerations they need to take when accelerating a SaaS product roadmap. What do you define as a large enterprise in the context of integration and services? From the perspective of Cyclr’s customer base, at one end we deal with young startups. These young SaaS organisations have an MVP or a very early-stage product. They are principally interested in amplification. This is the number of connectors/connections and integrations they can put behind their own VP or product. They will then accumulate a customer base over time, as they then grow. On the other end, we deal with very large enterprise organisations. These have a degree more maturity, quite a degree more maturity. This means it can be very difficult to define ‘enterprise’ in terms of time because some businesses accelerate enterprise quickly, and some take longer.   Generally, an enterprise is going to have hundreds and 1000s of customers. As a result, it'll be processing data at scale. Unlike a young startup, they're already going to have an integration suite that they're managing and dealing with. Rather than amplification an enterprise will be more interested in growing their connectivity suite.   Any size of SaaS is going to have different kinds of considerations when looking at Embedded iPaaS. What are the key enterprise integration considerations for a larger enterprise concerning integration and connectivity? There are several key considerations an... --- ### Risk Management, Data and Ethics – Establishing Good Practice Organisation > SaaS CTO Nic Butler discusses how to establish good practices for risk management, data and ethics within a software organisation. - Published: 2024-02-19 - Modified: 2024-04-18 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/risk-management-data-and-ethics-establishing-good-practice-organisation - Categories: Blog, SaaS - Tags: IPaaS, SaaS As CTO of a SaaS organisation, I often find myself balancing the competing priorities of risk management, data, and ethics. The core essence of Software-as-a-Service hinges on the smooth integration and flow of data. As a result, compelling organisations like ours to implement robust risk management strategies. It is not just about legal compliance; it's about maintaining the security and integrity of our data while upholding our ethical principles. The stakes are undeniably high. Failure to achieve this balance could expose us to potential breaches and legal repercussions. This could risk the erosion of user trust—where alternatives are just a click away. Consequently, we have to develop a deep understanding of the interplay between risk management, ethical considerations, and data governance. This understanding is critical in fostering a culture of responsibility and customer-centricity, acknowledging that our users' trust is our most valuable asset. In our organisation, the senior management team plays a pivotal role in setting an ethical tone. As well as championing best practices in risk management and data governance. We believe in seamlessly integrating ethical considerations into our decision-making processes to foster accountability and transparency. Beyond mere risk mitigation, this approach actively contributes to building trust with our customers and stakeholders. Strategic Integration: Aligning Risk Management with Business Goals Aligning risk management with our business goals is a strategic imperative, one that continuously shapes our roadmap. For instance, aligning our risk management efforts with specific business objectives ensures that our risk mitigation strategies are precisely tailored. This means... --- ### Meet the Team, Eduardo Martin Reyes Connector Developer > Meet Eduardo one of Cyclr's Connector Developers an API and Connector Expert building Connectors for Partners integration success. - Published: 2024-02-12 - Modified: 2025-03-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/meet-the-team-eduardo-martin-reyes-connector-developer - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Developer - Tags: Cyclr, meet the team Eduardo is an experienced developer and currently working at Cyclr an embedded iPaaS. “When I joined it was a small company and I like that I am growing with the company” - Eduardo Marting Reyes Firstly, what is a Connector?

It was a busy and interesting year for the SaaS industry. In 2023 we saw growth but faced challenges due to the current economic environment.   “At its heart SaaS is an ideology on how to deliver software in the most efficient manner for all parties (vendor and customer). This delivery methodology has gone from strength to strength over the last two decades and the momentum shows no sign of abating. The benefits of a low capex model with a single subscription to a single, constantly updated, version of software is compelling. The vendor gets efficiency benefits and the customer gets software that is always up to date for lower upfront expenditure. Even though the wider tech industry can come under pressure at times, I can foresee no change in the momentum of the overall SaaS growth trajectory. ” Fraser Davidson, Cyclr CEO We’ve put together a list of trends and developments that might shape the industry in 2024.

This component serves as an abstraction or intermediary between different systems, applications, or databases. Its primary purpose is to facilitate smooth and efficient communication. As well as data exchange and interoperability between disparate systems. In other words, it is where the orchestration of APIs takes place. This is where an API integration is built to connect applications to move information from one place to another. This is to either expand the functionality of a product or improve in-house sharing between departments. Key characteristics of a data layer in integration include: Data Transformation The data layer often handles the transformation of information between different formats and structures. It ensures that data from one system is appropriately mapped and converted. As a result, it will be compatible with the format required by another system. Normalisation Data normalisation involves organising and structuring data consistently. The data layer may normalise data to ensure uniformity, making it easier for systems to understand and process the information. Data Mapping and Routing The layer defines how the information should be mapped and routed between various systems. This means it can determine the paths that data takes as it moves from a source to a destination, considering any necessary translations or modifications along the way. Abstraction of Complexity Integration often involves dealing with complex data structures and APIs. The data layer abstracts this complexity by providing a simplified and standardised interface for applications to interact... --- ### New Connectivity Tools Available in the Cyclr Builder > A new range of Connectivity Tools are now available to Cyclr users, giving more ways to connect and automate data in your integrations. - Published: 2024-01-11 - Modified: 2024-01-22 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/new-connectivity-tools - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Embedded iPaaS, Product - Tags: Cyclr, New Feature, Utilities We are delighted to announce the launch of a range of new connectivity tools.

Even more so when they are not only trying to develop core product features but also keep up with customers' API integration requests. For those who aren’t sure, an API integration request is a customer asking for a new integration to be built to connect data from your SaaS to another SaaS application via APIs. Other requests a development team may receive are method requests. This is when a customer asks for an API to be extended to include an additional method, at Cyclr our dedicated Connector Team does this. The demand for software integration has skyrocketed, leaving development teams grappling with an increasing number of API integration requests. We take a look at several reasons why developers may be struggling to keep up with integration demands. As well as the practical solutions to address these challenges. Why do developers struggle to keep up with integration requests? 1. Complexity and Diverse Ecosystems One of the primary reasons developers find it challenging to keep up with integration requests is the complexity of modern software ecosystems. Businesses are using a myriad of tools and platforms, each with its own set of APIs and integration requirements. Navigating this intricate landscape can be time-consuming and resource-intensive for development teams.

This symbiotic relationship between AI/LLMs and intent-driven workflows represents a paradigm shift, hinting at a future of seamless automation and intelligent decision-making.   We are going to dive into the intricacies of this dynamic alliance, exploring how AI-driven systems can intuitively understand and respond to user intentions, fostering efficiency, agility, and a new frontier of possibilities in the realm of work processes. Understanding Intent and Entities First off, it is important to understand intent and entity in natural language processing. Therefore, "intent" refers to the intention or purpose behind a user's input, while "entity" refers to specific information within that input. Below are three examples and we are going to break down the intent and entities of each of the given sentences using ChatGPT the widely used platform: Book my flight to Germany Intent: Book a flight Entities: Action: Book Object: Flight Destination: Germany Add an apple to my basket Intent: Add an item to a basket Entities: Action: Add Object: Apple Container: Basket Update my address in your database Intent: Update address Entities: Action: Update Object: Address Location: Database We can see that Large Language Models (LLMs) are extremely good at generalising intent and entities from day-to-day conversational sentences – most of which are likely to have been in the training... --- ### The Importance of Scalability to an Enterprise > In the fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape of business, adaptability and scalability is the key to the survival of Enterprise businesses. - Published: 2023-12-18 - Modified: 2024-03-04 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/the-importance-of-scalability-to-an-enterprise - Categories: Blog, SaaS - Tags: digital transformation, enterprise, SaaS In the fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape of business, adaptability is the key to survival. One crucial aspect that underpins this adaptability is enterprise scalability. For enterprises, scalability is not just a buzzword. Rather a strategic imperative that can make or break their success in a dynamic market. “Scalability allows a business to grow and generate revenue without being held back by its structure or lack of resources. As a company's sales volume increases, it can maintain or boost its efficiency. ” Business. com We explore the significance of scalability to an enterprise. As well as how it can drive growth, enhance efficiency, and future-proof business operations. Why is scalability important? Business scaling is the deliberate expansion of a company to meet market requirements, enhance productivity, and boost profit margins. It holds significance as, without proper scaling, an organisation may not reach its maximum capabilities or, in a more dire scenario, face complete failure. Enterprise Scalability Adapting to Growth and Demand Scalability refers to the ability of a system or process to handle an increasing amount of work or growth. In the context of an enterprise, this can manifest in various forms, such as an uptick in customer demand, expansion into new markets, or the introduction of new products and services. A scalable business model is like a flexible and resilient framework that can seamlessly adapt to these changes without compromising performance. Consider a successful e-commerce platform that experiences a surge in traffic during holiday seasons. Without a scalable infrastructure, the... --- ### Meet the Team, Sophia Manalo QA Engineer > Meet Sophia one of Cyclr's QA Engineers testing our platform to ensure all new features and functionality work to help achieve integrations. - Published: 2023-12-11 - Modified: 2023-11-13 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/meet-the-team-sophia-manalo-qa-engineer - Categories: Blog, Company, Cyclr - Tags: Cyclr, meet the team Sophia is an experienced software developer and QA Engineer currently working at Cyclr, an embedded iPaaS. “I like working with the Cyclr product as it’s constantly evolving, which brings a lot of variety to my work. ” Sophia Manalo What does your job in QA entail? On a daily basis, I review and test new features and bug fixes for the Cyclr platform. For each ticket, I aim to understand the objectives and make sure that the solution adequately meets them and to a high standard. What’s the QA process from start to finish? The process for bigger features tends to start by creating test plans to make sure I cover everything I can think of. Then I begin testing as soon as the feature or bug leaves code review. Any defects or inconsistencies are reported back to the developer, and once they are fixed, I retest to make sure there are no new defects. After it leaves the test, I create automated tests to reduce the chance of regression. Where do you work? I work mainly from home. I like working from home as I live quite far away from the offices.   How did your role and work life change during the pandemic (if at all? ) The pandemic has made work from home a more readily accepted work model for our industry, which I feel like I have really benefited from in terms of the range of companies I could apply for. Without this change, I would... --- ### How API Authentication Works: Managed Authentication > API authentication is an important process and our API Connector expert Ian Rimmer discusses how API authentication works. - Published: 2023-12-04 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/how-api-authentication-works-managed-authentication - Categories: API, Blog, Developer, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: API, Connectors APIs are one of the most integral parts of software and the internet. Especially as API integrations enable the connection and communication between applications and expand a product's capabilities.   They are however complex and no two APIs are the same. Nobody knows this better than our Connector Team Lead Ian Rimmer. Today he is going to discuss authentication and more specifically managed authentication. At Cyclr, we encapsulate APIs into pre-built Connectors this means our users can access a library of over 500 ready-to-use Connectors with a range of end-points and methods.   What does authentication mean? Firstly, authentication is the procedure of verifying the identity of an individual or an object.   Authentication concerning APIs refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user before making requests to the API. It ensures the API server knows who is calling its endpoints. This is done by validating credentials or tokens that assert the caller's identity. Establishing trust for the caller and allowing access to its resources. There are many many different authentication methods and flows that APIs can employ. This is based on the client app type, security needs, etc. Common methods include API keys, OAuth 2 (Code, Password, Client Credential), and basic, Client Certificate. API vendors also are known to have bespoke authentication protocols. What is managed authentication and what does authentication look like within the Cyclr platform? As an embedded integration platform, we need to ensure that there is enough flexibility in our system to handle... --- ### Developer Tips and Tricks from a Cyclr Developer: API Formatting > Get to grips with API formatting, especially date and time formatting with Cyclr developers tips and tricks. - Published: 2023-11-27 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/developer-tips-and-tricks-from-a-cyclr-developer-api-formatting - Categories: API, Blog, Cyclr, Developer - Tags: API, Cyclr APIs are complex but useful things and have become the backbone of modern technology. Fortunately, Cyclr is full of API integration experts on hand to help partners achieve integration success. Experienced software and Cyclr developer Justin dives into API formatting and more specifically date and time formatting. Date and time formatting for APIs As a developer, you’ll often need to pass the date to third-party APIs. Often in a wide range of formats, and sometimes converted to different time zones. Luckily for you, Cyclr supports the moment. js JavaScript library natively to help you solve these problems. Let’s see some examples of moment. js in use. In all the examples that follow the JavaScript can be pasted into a mergefield, or used as a line in an inline script. How can I format a date? To get the current date/time in standard ISO 8601 format enter the following: Javascript =moment. format; How can I get the time in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)? Whether times should be passed and stored in the local or universal time zone is a complex issue which could easily be the subject of a future blog entry. For this blog, it’s sufficient to say that moment. js can also return and manipulate UTC time. Get the date and time in UTC: Javascript =moment. utc. format; Get the hour in UTC: Javascript =moment. utc. hour; How can I split the date into days or weeks? Sometimes instead of passing a date, you’ll need the current day number... --- ### Migrating from Blendr.io? Cyclr is here to help. > Change can be tricky but Cyclr's embedded iPaaS is here to help and migrate you from Blendr.io and keep your integrations up and running. - Published: 2023-11-21 - Modified: 2024-01-15 - URL: https://cyclr.com/resources/ipaas/migrating-from-blendr-io-cyclr-is-here-to-help - Categories: iPaaS - Tags: Cyclr, IPaaS A Brief History of Embedded iPaaS Three or four years ago, when Embedded iPaaS was a very new thing, there was one emerging Cyclr competitor that we particularly enjoyed going head to head with – Blendr. io (‘Blendr’). We got on with and liked the team, as well as had a passing admiration for their product. As the only two in the market at that time we enjoyed the competition, it kept us on our toes. What changed? Fast forward to late 2020, and very early in Blendr’s development path, Blendr was acquired by Qlik. From conversations with several prospective customers, we have come to the understanding that Qlik may be retiring support for the Blendr product in its’ original form as an Embedded iPaaS. “I was alway a big fan of Blendr. io and in the early days, as the first real competitor of Cyclr, when I was the only sales person, they kept us on our toes. We didn’t always win against them despite our best efforts and, as sad as I am not to compete with them any more, it is a pleasure to be reconnecting with some old, and new, contacts as they migrate to Cyclr. A good competitor is always a valuable thing to have, Blendr. io was just that. ” Fraser Davidson, Cyclr CEO What are your options? Change can be a daunting thing but Cyclr is here to help as the alternative to Blendr. We want to make the transition as simple and... --- ### Integration Workflow Tips and Tricks: Mid-Workflow Webhook > Webhooks are powerful ways for apps to communicate typically they kick off an integration, but have you heard of our mid-workflow webhook? - Published: 2023-11-20 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/integration-workflow-tips-and-tricks-mid-workflow-webhook - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Developer, iPaaS, Native Integration - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS There is an art to building integration workflows especially so when you want to achieve the best value from integration software. Today we dive into how a mid-workflow Webhook can add further customisation and functionality to your workflows. Add Further Webhook Functionality to Your Workflows The workflow you've created is up and running, data is flowing, and updates are happening. However, there’s one thing that niggles. The integration workflow would be better if you intervened at one point. This could be an external decision to execute the next step or skip it. What to do? Split the cycle into separate cycles? That seems like overkill. You don’t need to store any data; you just need someone to make a decision during the cycle. Cyclr provides an easy way to intervene in a workflow without stopping it and wait for relevant information from an external source to determine the next action: the mid-workflow Webhook. Webhooks Webhooks are used for event-driven integrations and are one of the many ways applications can communicate with each other. They allow you to send real-time data from one system to another when a given event occurs.   You may already be familiar with Webhooks and how they are often used as the first step in an integration workflow. However, a webhook step can be used at another point in a workflow. This gives you the power to wait until additional data arrives from another source. Say your cycle webhook receives new account details, and maps the webhook... --- ### Meet the Team, Adrian Wright Platform Developer > Meet Adrian a software developer at Cyclr who is responsible for many of our platform's integration features and functions. - Published: 2023-11-13 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/meet-the-team-adrian-wright-platform-developer - Categories: Blog, Cyclr, Developer - Tags: Cyclr, meet the team Adrian is an experienced Software Developer currently working at Cyclr an embedded iPaaS software company. “Senior management is open with the company’s progression and it’s always great to see what is going on in the quarterly performance reviews” - Adrian Wright What does your developer role entail? At Cyclr my job entails writing code to build features for the Cyclr platform and fix bugs. Occasionally I am assigned the role of answering support queries and investigating issues and feature requests for the support team and other developers, which becomes my main priority. What’s the development process for a feature from start to finish? It looks a little something like this, first I’ll attend a kickoff meeting to get an overview of the feature. This is where our UX designer Jordan brings the visual designs and CPO describes the functionality.   Next, JIRA tickets are created to split the work and estimate the timeline using points (points being a measure of complexity). I’ll get started on writing code to bring the feature to life.   Once I feel happy with what I’ve produced, it gets reviewed by another developer in the Platform team and I will action any suggestions they have. After code review, the feature gets tested by a member of the QA team and then handed off for documentation.   After release, the feature is then supported by the Platform team, but not necessarily by myself. Where do you work? Predominantly I work from home and have done so... --- ### What are the different API protocols? > Discover the three flavours of APIs, their benefits and drawbacks as well as the API protocols they follow with Cyclr. - Published: 2023-11-06 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-are-the-different-api-protocols - Categories: API, Blog, Developer - Tags: API, Integrations An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules and protocols. These allow different software applications to communicate and interact with each other via API integration. APIs play a fundamental role in modern software development, facilitating the integration of disparate systems, and enabling the creation of third-party extensions or applications. As well as driving the interoperability that underpins much of today's digital technology and services. To make your API as easy to use as possible there are some basic concepts that you should consider: What format should be used? How should the data be structured? How can flexibility be introduced? For simplicity, we can consider that there are three flavours of API – SOAP, REST and Graph QL. Here Cyclr Founder Philip will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each. SOAP (Simple Object Access) APIs SOAP APIs have certain advantages, particularly in enterprise and highly regulated environments. Firstly, SOAP uses a well-defined and strict message format, typically XML. This ensures a high level of message integrity and security through features like encryption and digital signatures.  This makes SOAP suitable for applications with stringent security and compliance requirements.   Secondly, SOAP supports complex operations and protocols, including two-way communication and transactional processing, making it suitable for enterprise-level systems and distributed computing scenarios.   SOAP APIs have several drawbacks. They tend to be more complex, and heavyweight compared to alternatives like REST or GraphQL and are harder to implement and maintain. The XML-based message format can be verbose, leading to... --- ### API Security Best Practices > Cyclr CTO Nic Butler discusses the common API security pitfalls that can befall developers and users during integrations. - Published: 2023-10-30 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/api-security-best-practices - Categories: API, Blog, Developer - Tags: API, Integrations Building APIs is an essential way to enable API integrations between your system and other applications around the web. They are the building blocks that enable your service to be consumed by composable, data-mixing services, Phone apps, IoT, and more.   There are thousands of useful APIs out there. They can be used to pull data, manipulate it, store it, combine, and refine information to enhance user experience and turn plain Data into Information. However, when designing and implementing APIs, there are some common pitfalls. These pitfalls should be avoided to stop data from falling into the wrong hands. This blog post from Cyclr CTO Nic Butler outlines, with examples, the top ways to make sure your APIs are secure and leak-free! https://www. youtube. com/shorts/QqcjT3WlEAs Pitfall One - Broken Object Level Authorisation Consider this API endpoint example: GET /hr/employee/{id}/salary/ Authorization: Bearer Token Using this API with a staff member ID (e. g. 1234) retrieves a salary object with pay grade, tax information and so on for the corporate iPhone App. Improper permission checking and authentication on this endpoint would allow an employee to submit a request with any ID and see their colleague's salary information. This is because the endpoint has Broken Object Level Authorisation. How to avoid: Always check that the requesting principal has access to the object being requested - look at that bearer token! Does it have permissions to this employee’s data? It would be better to use random UUIDs for keys than an easily guessable Int... --- ### Considerations for REST APIs > Discover REST API and what considerations you should consider when adopting this type of API for your data integrations. - Published: 2023-10-25 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/considerations-for-rest-apis - Categories: API, Blog, Developer - Tags: API, Integrations An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules and protocols. These allow different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. APIs play a fundamental role in modern software development. This is because they facilitate the integration of disparate systems, enabling the creation of third-party extensions or applications. As well as drive the interoperability that underpins much of today's digital technology and services. What is a REST API? Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture that imposes conditions on how an API should work. REST was initially created as a guideline to manage communication on a complex network like the Internet. This is the most common type of API and REST offers several advantages.   Firstly, they utilize a well-defined and standardized set of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. ). This simplifies the understanding and usage of the API.  This makes RESTful APIs easy to learn and work with for developers.   Secondly, they promote a stateless client-server interaction. This enhances scalability by allowing each request to be independent and self-contained. REST's resource-based approach encourages a clean and structured design, making it easy to organize and manage resources. Overall, RESTful APIs offer simplicity, scalability, and compatibility, making them a solid choice for building web services. REST APIs do have some limitations relating to security. This can be a concern, as REST relies on external standards for authentication and authorization. These can lead to inconsistencies and vulnerabilities if not properly implemented. Despite these issues,... --- ### Meet the Team, Matt Daniels Account Executive and Head of Outbounding  > Meet Matt one of Cyclr's Account Executives aka Sales Representatives demonstrating how Cyclr can help SaaS businesses with integrations. - Published: 2023-10-23 - Modified: 2023-09-19 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/meet-the-team-matt-daniels-cyclr-sales-representative - Categories: Blog, Cyclr - Tags: Cyclr, meet the team Matt is an experienced SaaS sales representative and currently working at Cyclr an embedded iPaaS software company. “Our customer base is truly international so I also like the variety of speaking to people all over the world” - Matt Daniels What does your job at Cyclr entail? My role at Cyclr entails closing deals to create new partners for Cyclr. These deals can be a result of inbound leads that come from our fantastic marketing team or via our Outbound efforts. These are generated from our Sales Development Representative and self-generation.   Ultimately, the more deals I close the more I can earn. This is because I get a percentage of the first twelve months of a contract. The bigger the deal the more rewarding it is and it is a great feeling when a deal closes. I get a rush of endorphins that keeps me engaged and wanting to close more.   What’s the sales process from start to finish? The sales process looks a little something like this, after we take on the lead, either via discovery or come in. I’ll first set up a call and give a demo tailored to that lead. From this, I loop in technical assistance from the SAs (Solution Architects). We collaborate from both a commercial and product perspective to give the client an experience which we hope to close the deal.   Once the deal is signed I’ll hand over all the information to a Customer Success Manager who handles the... --- ### Is your embedded iPaaS truly embedded? > Is your embedded iPaaS truly embedded, we discuss embedded and white-labelling what it should look like and examples of what it shouldn't. - Published: 2023-10-16 - Modified: 2023-09-13 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/is-your-embedded-ipaas-truly-embedded - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, iPaaS - Tags: Embedded iPaaS, IPaaS There has been an increase in embedded iPaaS options of late, designed to help with SaaS integration. Many have come from big iPaaS brands who imply their option is completely white-labelled. We wanted to further discuss what embedded means as well as what white-label should look like. What does embedded mean? The word embedded means fixed firmly or deeply in a surrounding mass. For instance, mobile phones consist of many embedded systems such as GUI software, operating systems, cameras, microphones etc. What does white-label mean? A white-label SaaS is an unbranded product purchased by a company and rebranded as one’s own.   For instance, a SaaS decides to purchase, rent or lease a product and/or services of a software company. Based on a monthly subscription fee. This is then provided unbranded. It can then be customised according to the business’s style guides, and then sold and used by customers. How is this applied to an integration service application? In regards to integration platforms, an embedded iPaaS such as Cyclr is a white-label platform that sits within a SaaS unseen to SaaS customers. Whereas an iPaaS such as Zapier or Tray. io sits externally and can be seen by end-users. Why is that? The goals of the two different iPaaS systems are different. An embedded iPaaS help SaaS vendors expand their integration functionality without adding to the developer backlog. As well as eliminating the need to build processes from scratch. This means features and integration functions can be added to a... --- ### How to get a sticky SaaS and reduce churn with embedded integration technology > Creating a sticky SaaS is tricky when navigating integrations as well as core product features, luckily embedded integration tech is on hand. - Published: 2023-10-09 - Modified: 2024-12-03 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/get-a-sticky-saas-and-reduce-churn-with-embedded-integration-technology - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, iPaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS It is time for a short story, and this one is about a SaaS. A SaaS who goes on a journey to discover embedded integration technology and how it can help overcome their integration woes, become sticky and reduce churn.   What is a SaaS? Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software distribution model where applications are hosted by a third-party provider and accessed by users over the Internet. Unlike traditional software, which requires installation on individual devices, SaaS allows users to access applications through a web browser or app interface. Users typically pay a subscription fee for access to the software, which is maintained and updated by the provider. SaaS offers advantages such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making it popular for businesses and individuals seeking accessible and efficient software solutions without the need for extensive infrastructure or maintenance. An Integration Tale As Old as Time Once upon a time, there was a SaaS, more specifically an email marketing SaaS. They built their application so they can bring together customer’s business data to enable them to provide timely and relevant messaging to their customers.   They always try to help their customers nurture and grow their audience with powerful marketing automation. In the hope it makes meaningful conversation happen. While making their SaaS sticky. Yet they started to see a decrease in daily active users, in other words, an increase in disappearing customers. They hunted down what was making customers vanish and discovered the integration orge. In other... --- ### 5 of the Top Cyclr Competitors and Alternatives on the API Integration Tool Market > We get it you want to see what other API integration platform options are on the market, let's take a look at Cyclr's competitors. - Published: 2023-10-02 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/cyclr-competitors-ipaas-alternatives - Categories: API, Blog, Developer, Embedded iPaaS, iPaaS - Tags: Cyclr, Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS So, you are looking for Cyclr's competitors? It’s okay, we won’t take it to heart, we only want what is best for you and your SaaS.   We know that we are not the only solution out there which is why we’ve compiled this post comparing Cyclr’s competition so you can make an informed decision when choosing an API integration tool.   We don’t really like this type of discussion and are bemused by many ‘competitor comparison’ pages. While we don’t happily engage in that approach - we are happy to talk about those platforms here that we think merit discussion. But first, as you’re here.   Cyclr - Why there is really no competition! Cyclr is typically used by enterprise-level SaaS and software companies that already have an eco-system of integrations that they are looking to extend, optimise, control or standardise. Our embedded iPaaS is designed for growth/scale businesses and our toolkit is designed to handle complexity. Our customers typically range from 50+ employees up to the NASDAQ level. If you are a new Start-Up or have very simple integration requirements then other products may be better suited to you. We deploy a low-code methodology but are proud of the rich function that Cyclr also makes available to you (we know you will need this).   We were the first to market with our embedded iPaaS and have an enviable level of very focused domain-level experience. Features of our API Integration Platform A library of over 500 pre-built API... --- ### 10 Embedded Integration Examples to Revolutionise Your Enterprise and Tackle Product Integration Expansion > Are you struggling to understand how an embedded iPaaS can help your Enterprise? We'e put together 10 embedded integration examples to help. - Published: 2023-09-25 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/10-embedded-integration-examples-for-enterprise - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS, Product - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS We’ve got a range of embedded integration examples that can be used no matter what type of Enterprise you are. Each use case can be tailored to your customer's needs and deployed natively in your application. This can all be achieved without adding to your developer backlog and upskilling existing employees. These use cases are 10 relatively common workflows we’ve seen and encompass many typical vertical types. So, let's take a look at the different embedded integration examples and demonstrate what is possible with an embedded integration platform.   Embedded Integration Examples for Enterprise Email Marketing Use Case Integration: Connect your SaaS to a CRM and email apps to keep the client’s customer data up to date In this instance, a customer has requested an integration from your SaaS to a CRM and an email marketing app. This is so they can keep their user information up to date across apps in their tech stack.   This embedded integration is designed to trigger a “welcome” email marketing campaign after a new customer’s email has been added to the CRM from a new user being added or signing up to your SaaS.   Marketing Analytics Use Case Integration: Connect your SaaS to Marketing Ad Platforms and paint a performance picture for customers Next up is a marketing analytics use case, these will help your customers stay on top of their ad performance and campaign impact by connecting your platform to marketing ad tools. This type of integration can be scheduled to... --- ### What is an Embedded iPaaS? > An embedded iPaaS is invisible to end-users and provides a SaaS with all the integration functionality natively. - Published: 2023-09-20 - Modified: 2024-12-03 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-an-embedded-ipaas - Categories: Blog, Embedded iPaaS - Tags: IPaaS It is a term we first coined way back when Cyclr first began and it means quite simply an integration platform as a service but is embedded within a SaaS application. In other words, an embedded iPaaS is invisible to end-users and provides a SaaS with all the integration functionality natively.   Let's dive into the nitty gritty of embedded iPaaS. What is an Embedded iPaaS? An Embedded iPaaS solution allows SaaS vendors to create, manage and deploy integration services to their clients directly from within their own platform. Thus a SaaS has the full iPaaS system and the flexibility of a white-labelled solution.   This means a SaaS can rapidly expand its integration offerings and it can achieve this without adding to the developer backlog by resolving key integration sticking points such as: API versioning and updating Individual integration maintenance Integration being a developer-only task Handling and maintaining multiple API and authentication types Utilising an embedded iPaaS also means a SaaS doesn’t need to send users off to a separate iPaaS provider to install integrations. It also means they don’t need to have an account with a different provider other than the SaaS. As a result, friction is reduced, experience improved and the SaaS is stickier.   Don’t worry end-users are in separate multi-tenant environments which is easy for the SaaS to manage. So, to sum up, an embedded solution enhances a SaaS product and expands the native integration library. It is therefore much more focused on expanding a... --- ### What are API Integration Tools? > API integration is becoming essential for business growth, as a result there is an increase in businesses looking for API integration tools. - Published: 2023-09-18 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-are-api-integration-tools - Categories: Blog, Developer - Tags: API, Integrations, IPaaS API integration has become a must-have for a modern business strategy and has become an essential ingredient for business growth. But how is API integration achieved?   Well, API integration tools are here to help organisations achieve their API and integration goals. We take a look at some API integration tools and why they would be great assets for your business.   What is the meaning of API integration? API integration means the connection between two or more applications via their APIs, Salesforce and Google Sheets for instance. This connection allows for the exchange or request of data that can be received back into your application or another desired location.   API integration is one way of helping to scale your organisation and grow your SaaS product. As well as aid business processes and enhance customer experience.   What are API integration tools? In short, API integration tools help SaaS teams build, manage and publish APIs without adding to their developer backlog. API Integration Tools enable users to oversee, regulate, and generate revenue from their application programming interfaces (APIs) within a secure development setting. These API management tools aid administrators in monitoring the stability of connections, traffic flow, error occurrences, and security measures for the APIs published by their team.   During the post-production stage of an API's lifecycle, the company's IT department utilises this tool rather than relying on developers once the API design has been successfully implemented. Afterwards, practically all upkeep, surveillance, and administration linked to the API... --- ### Cyclr Announces Expansion to Toronto, Canada to Support Rapidly Growing North American Market > Cyclr announcement about expansion into Toronto, Canada to support our rapidly growing North American Market. - Published: 2023-09-12 - Modified: 2023-09-12 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/cyclr-announces-expansion-to-toronto-canada - Categories: Blog, Company, Cyclr - Tags: Cyclr Cyclr establishes its newest office in Toronto, enabling the creation of thousands of integrations with its first-to-market embedded iPaaS solution Cyclr, an independent, high-growth, embedded iPaaS (integration platform as a service) SaaS company, announced its expansion to the North American market with the opening of its offices in Toronto, Ontario. Established in 2013 and headquartered in the UK, the company’s expansion to Canada will further build this market while offering increased support to existing partners. Cyclr focuses on selling its’ SaaS/software integration toolkit to other SaaS/software companies. Launched in 2018, the company’s embedded iPaaS solution expands a SaaS company’s native integration capabilities without adding to its development backlog, remaining invisible to its users and ultimately saving innumerable hours of time. With over 50 per cent of Cyclr’s revenue coming from the North American market, expansion into Toronto was a natural step for the company. Toronto was selected as the ideal location for expansion due to the strong alignment between Canadian culture and Cyclr as an organisation. Additionally, the flourishing tech industry in the city was deemed highly attractive, providing the company with the opportunity to establish local connections and actively participate in the tech community.

Pssst… Automation Tools! > In this modern era software development is continuous and in-demand with this developer burnout can occur, we've got some ways to alleviate it. - Published: 2023-09-11 - Modified: 2024-09-06 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/overcoming-developer-burnout-with-automation-tools - Categories: Blog, Developer, iPaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS, software development In the modern software development world with ever-increasing amounts of software solutions and product updates in development engineers, developers and coders are seeing an increasingly high workload. As a result, they are experiencing developer and engineering burnout.   There are many helpful solutions for development teams to alleviate and spot the signs of software developer burnout. One is deploying an integration platform that provides automation tools such as iPaaS and embedded iPaaS solutions, but we’ll get to that. Developer Burnout Developer burnout or exhaustion occurs when there are excessive requests, projects to construct, gatherings to participate in, and individuals to be accountable to.   This typically arises when there is an inadequate number of developers and a lack of comprehension regarding the magnitude of effort required, ultimately resulting in anxiety and decreased productivity. In certain cases, developers find solace by either resigning or assuming a different position. Nowadays achieving success comes at a cost of increased demands and expectations. It entails an influx of requests, a greater need for time, the creation of more applications, the addition of additional features, a heightened requirement for support, and an overall increase in workload.   In software development, upgrades are frequent and necessitate modifications, updates, and re-releases of existing projects, as well as adjustments to one's tools. Some technologies may require these upgrades on a weekly basis, while others may only need a few upgrades per year. This constant need for improvement can contribute to the stress and exhaustion experienced by developers. In... --- ### How can you leverage your SaaS’s domain experts to help your resource prioritisation? > Resource prioritisation can be a struggle for SaaS organisations, so how can domain experts in your business help resolve this? - Published: 2023-09-07 - Modified: 2023-09-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/improving-your-saas-resource-prioritisation - Categories: Blog, Native Integration, SaaS - Tags: Integrations, IPaaS, SaaS One crucial way integration technology can help a SaaS with resource prioritisation is by enabling other team members to reduce their reliance on SaaS developers.   Instead, your domain experts, primely positioned at key areas across your business, can be upskilled to tackle the task directly. However, the learning process itself takes an enormous personal and company-wide commitment, that may divert focus. So another option is to leverage automation and integration tools. This will enable them to put their knowledge into direct action, leading them to be your own internal citizen integrators. Empowering your team to take direct action is one key way that can help your business grow. As well as improve service, experience, and productivity, as well as free up resources for your core product.   How do Citizen Integrators help your business and resource prioritisation? Traditionally, IT/development teams are developing the SaaS product but also responding to and building customer integration requests. This often results in long waiting times. As resources are stretched tasks such as integrations are added to prioritisation lists. This could mean depending on the integration, who has requested it or how many use cases it’ll serve may mean it’s at the back of the list.   Many SaaS organisations don’t realise they have tonnes of domain experts at their fingertips. They are often in product and customer success teams who are familiar with customers, workflows and the data needed. With integration technology, these domain experts don’t need to wait for resources to become... --- ### What is API Integration? > Unlock API Integration's Secrets: Learn What, Why, and How! Explore Tools & Benefits for Your SaaS. Dive In Now! - Published: 2023-09-06 - Modified: 2024-01-17 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/what-is-api-integration - Categories: API, Blog, Native Integration - Tags: API, Integrations APIs and API integration are essential aspects of the modern computing world. They have become the yarn that makes the digital world knit together as it were. API (Application Programming Interface) data is easily and speedily exchanged, allowing for modern innovation and daily conveniences. These conveniences include moving money between bank accounts, sharing video moments on social media, checking this week’s weather or managing your at-home appliances. APIs allow businesses to adapt and develop products and services in the face of severe disruption. This could not be more apparent than in the previous few years. As a result, more and more organisations have focused development efforts around APIs. Therefore, APIs and API integration have quickly become critical ways to build automated workflows. To either automate internal business processes or expand SaaS product functionality. So, API integration, let's dive in. What is API integration?   API integration is the process of connecting two or more systems via their APIs. This is so they can share and exchange data. As well as perform actions.   One common use for API integration is by SaaS applications. They utilise APIs and integration as a way to expand the product's native functionality.   For example, a SaaS product in the CRM space has received a customer integration request to share data between their CRM and a marketing tool. The customer needs an API integration so new contacts added to the CRM are automatically added to their marketing email lists. Rather than manually input the data.... --- ### Why your in-house API integrations aren’t helping you scale (and what to do about it) > The future looks to be embedded with API integration platforms helping SaaS apps expand and scale their in-house integrations. - Published: 2023-09-04 - Modified: 2024-11-21 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/why-your-in-house-api-integrations-arent-helping-you-scale - Categories: Blog, iPaaS - Tags: API, Integrations, IPaaS The future of SaaS is embedded with the likes of specialised and disruptive technologies such as embedded iPaaS. These are embedded API integration platforms that can not only improve the quality of a SaaS but help them scale and aid their success.   The industry is shifting and SaaS applications need to be responsive to this change by embracing embedded ecosystems. Rather than rely on in-house API integrations to carry and scale their SaaS solution. Otherwise, they may get left behind the pack in the ever-increasing competitive SaaS market. SaaS Companies Need Good Integrations Firstly, it is important to recognise that not every SaaS is the same. Some large SaaS applications such as Salesforce, MailChimp, Shopify and others have massive libraries of APIs. This is because they have the resources to build and maintain them. Whereas smaller and growing SaaS applications don’t often have this capability. This is because they lack the resources such as developers and time to build more in-house API integrations. They would rather spend the resources on improving the core product offering while integration requests keep piling up in the developer backlog. As a result, the inability to further develop in-house integrations impedes scalability. As well as not solving existing customers’ use cases or even attracting new customers.   So, what should you do about it? There is a way to make this smoother and simpler for even the biggest SaaS.   An Embedded (iPaaS) Future Customers of a SaaS company use numerous amounts of applications... --- ### API Integration and Its Crucial Role in IoT Development > API integration for IoT development is crucial and can serve as a valuable tool to facilitate quick and efficient administration. - Published: 2023-08-28 - Modified: 2024-05-03 - URL: https://cyclr.com/blog/api-integration-and-iot-development - Categories: API, Blog, Native Integration - Tags: API, Integrations IoT devices are everywhere whether we realise them or not. For instance, electric car charging points, Smart TVs, thermostats, doorbell cameras, Amazon Echo or Google Dot. The list is somewhat endless when it comes to. With the range of IoT technology now available it means there is a vast amount of data being generated. Therefore, real-time processing and analysis is crucial. This is where API integration can serve as a valuable tool to facilitate quick and efficient administration. What is API Integration? For all those who don’t know, API integration is the process of connecting two or more systems, solutions or applications to share data and perform actions.   API integration is increasingly common among SaaS applications as a way to automate and integrate their product with other applications in an organisation’s tech stack. As well as automate internal processes.   What is an API management platform?   An API management platform enables users to oversee, regulate, and generate revenue from their application programming interfaces (APIs) within a secure development setting. These tools assist administrators in monitoring the reliability of connections, traffic, errors, and security of their team's published APIs. There are some API marketplace solutions, such as Cyclr, that also provide tools for managing APIs. These functions can also be one small part of a bigger application. Take Cyclr for instance, it is an embedded iPaaS that provides API integration services. This means users can build APIs if they so wish or ask Cyclr to do it, (if it... --- --- ## Connectors ### Claude - Published: 2025-05-07 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/claude - Connector Categories: AI Agents, Chat Claude is a next generation AI assistant built for work and trained to be safe, accurate, and secure. --- ### Azure AI Document Intelligence - Published: 2025-05-07 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/azure-ai-document-intelligence - Connector Categories: AI Agents, Data Tools Azure AI Document Intelligence is a cloud-based Azure AI service that enables you to build intelligent document processing solutions. --- ### Reddit Ads - Published: 2025-05-07 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/reddit-ads - Connector Categories: Analytics, Customer Experience, Data Tools, Marketing Run high impact takeover ads — Connect with passionate communities that deliver results for brands across all industries. --- ### Verint Engagement Data Management - Published: 2024-12-20 - Modified: 2025-04-11 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/verint - Connector Categories: Data Tools With the Engagement Data Management (EDM) Open APIs, you can manage unstructured and distributed interaction data in a unified data hub to create a normalized view of all interaction data for your organization. --- ### ServiceTitan - Published: 2024-12-20 - Modified: 2025-04-11 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/servicetitan - Connector Categories: Collaboration, Customer Experience, Marketing, Miscellaneous, Sales ServiceTitan helps hardworking contractors grow their businesses and reach the level of success they deserve. --- ### WordPress (Private Hosted) > This Private Hosted WordPress Connector is easy to use, simply drag and drop onto the workflow builder to connect your Wordpress websites and blogs. - Published: 2024-12-03 - Modified: 2025-04-22 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/wordpress-private-hosted - Connector Categories: Blogs, Developer Tools, Marketing For sites hosted on your own system. --- ### Workday - Published: 2024-07-18 - Modified: 2025-04-11 - URL: https://cyclr.com/integrate/workday - Connector Categories: ERP, HR/Payroll Workday cloud ERP provides enterprise cloud applications for Finance and HR.
