Custom Integrations

Learn how to create and manage custom integrations to connect your agents with external services and systems.

Custom Integration Overview

Custom integrations allow you to extend your agent’s capabilities by connecting to any external service or system through APIs, webhooks, or other integration methods.

Integration Types

API Integration

  • REST APIs
  • GraphQL
  • SOAP services

Webhook Integration

  • Event handlers
  • Callbacks
  • Notifications

Database Integration

  • SQL databases
  • NoSQL databases
  • Data warehouses

Service Integration

  • Cloud services
  • SaaS platforms
  • Enterprise systems

Building Custom Integrations

1

Plan Integration

Define integration requirements

  • Identify endpoints
  • Plan data flow
  • Define schema
2

Implement Connection

Build integration logic

  • Create client
  • Handle auth
  • Map data
3

Add Error Handling

Implement error management

  • Validate data
  • Handle failures
  • Add retry logic
4

Test Integration

Verify functionality

  • Unit tests
  • Integration tests
  • Load tests

Integration Structure

Implementation Examples

class APIIntegration extends CustomIntegration {
  async getData(endpoint: string, params: any): Promise<any> {
    const response = await this.client.get(endpoint, { params });
    return this.mapper.fromExternal(response.data);
  }

  async updateData(endpoint: string, data: any): Promise<void> {
    const mappedData = this.mapper.toExternal(data);
    await this.client.post(endpoint, mappedData);
  }
}
