Custom Integration ⚙️
Overview
Custom integrations on Billestor are services that use the Billestor APIs to extend the functionality of Billestor.
By building a custom integration app, you can keep user information in sync with an identity service, automate student and teacher registration , or automate posting to company announcement based on activity in another service.
Custom integrations are suitable for in-house development for your company (or bespoke development for the sole use of a single Billestor customer).
If you have a different purpose, e.g., offering a SaaS or PaaS integration to multiple Billestor customers, you should use Third Party Apps instead.
Do:
-
✅ Use custom integrations to make Billestor a safer and more useful place to collaborate within your company

-
❌ Use Custom Integrations to attempt to bypass Billestor's app and security reviews
