Activated within one minute, elastic.io Connect integration apps sync new and existing data between your apps, offering a comprehensive integration.
Bonn, 28.05.2015 – elastic.io Connect allows non-technical users to quickly connect APIs between the applications that cannot really talk to each other. Thanks to this, you can, for example, automatically get your invoices from e-conomic in your Dropbox or export your Salesforce Leads and Contacts to your Mailjet mailing lists. elastic.io Connect is the second product of a German startup company elastic.io that specializes in cloud and on-premises application integrations.
Compared to other similar products on the market like Zapier or IFTTT, elastic.io Connect allows export of existing as well as new data and offers more comprehensive integration. The apps can handle a bundle of triggers, like, for example, the e-conomic to Podio integration app that not only automatically creates items in Podio for each booked invoice, a new customer and a new customer contact in your e-conomic account, but also keeps the link within this data.Further distinctive feature is that all elastic.io Connect integration apps can be embedded into other SaaS application via simple REST-API. As a result, new users can activate the integration already during the on-boarding.
The integration apps are very easy to use, which ensures over 80% on-boarding success. They can be easily activated within one minute, users only need to grant access to their respective accounts:
The integration apps that can be now found on elastic.io Connect are built around four cloud-based software solutions: Debitoor, e-conomic, Mailjet and Billomat.
“Currently, we do not intend to hack as many different integration apps as possible. There is no point in competing with Zapier or IFTTT on that point, because when it comes to offering a broad selection of ready-to-use integration solutions, they are doing an extremely good job. Besides, elastic.io is in the first place an integration platform with connectors for different applications. Our initial focus was on the actual use cases of the companies that approached us. All that being said, now we see that it’s time for elastic.io Connect to become a separate product. We’re really looking forward to working on new and even more comprehensive integration apps.”
– Renat Zubairov, elastic.io
elastic.io Connect is based on the Integration Platform, which gives it certain distinctive advantages like high security, reliability, scalability and unified monitoring.
“We’re planning to expand our library of integration apps in the near future by building apps for enterprise, for example, for Microsoft CRM and Microsoft NAV On-premise.”
– Renat Zubairov
