In the modern software landscape, connectivity is king. Your application's value is no longer measured in isolation but by how seamlessly it communicates with the world around it—CRMs, marketing platforms, payment gateways, and countless other external APIs. Yet, for most development teams, building and maintaining these connections is a source of constant friction.
We've been caught between two imperfect solutions: clunky, UI-driven iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) tools that operate like black boxes, and brittle, custom-coded scripts that become a nightmare of boilerplate and credential management.
But what if there was a third way? What if we could treat our integrations with the same rigor, discipline, and scalability as the rest of our application code? This is the promise of Business-as-Code, a paradigm shift that’s revolutionizing workflow automation and system integration.
For years, developers have relied on two main approaches to connect systems, each with significant drawbacks for modern, agile teams.
Tools based on drag-and-drop interfaces democratized basic automation, allowing non-developers to create simple "if-this-then-that" workflows. While useful for simple tasks, they quickly show their limitations in complex, production-grade environments:
On the other end of the spectrum is writing every integration from scratch. This gives you full control but at a steep cost:
Inspired by the success of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), the Business-as-Code philosophy applies the same principles to your integration workflows. Instead of clicking through a UI or writing low-level HTTP requests, you define your integrations and business logic in code that is:
This is precisely the philosophy behind Integrations.do, an AI-powered platform designed to turn complex system integrations into simple, reusable services. We call it Integrations as Code.
Integrations.do is built on a simple premise: a developer should be able to connect to any external system or API with a simple function call.
Our agentic workflow platform handles all the hard parts of API integration behind the scenes. You configure your credentials once, and our platform’s agents securely manage the entire authentication lifecycle, from OAuth token refreshes to secure key injection.
This transforms complex API interactions into elegant, expressive code. Want to create a new lead in Salesforce? You don't need to read pages of API docs or wrestle with a SOAP client. You just write code.
import { Client } from '@do-sdk/client';
// Initialize the .do client
const doClient = new Client({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
// Access any integration as a simple function call
async function syncNewLead(leadData) {
try {
const newLead = await doClient.integrations.salesforce.createLead({
body: leadData
});
console.log('Lead synced successfully:', newLead.id);
return newLead;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to sync lead:', error);
}
}
// Run the workflow
syncNewLead({
firstName: 'Jane',
lastName: 'Doe',
email: 'jane.doe@example.com',
company: 'ACME Corp'
});
This code is clear, concise, and testable. It fits naturally into your existing codebase and development practices. You can build complex, automated workflows by simply composing these functions, orchestrating interactions between multiple systems with ease.
Integrations.do goes beyond being a simple SDK wrapper. Our platform is powered by intelligent agents that manage the execution of your workflows. This means your simple function call for createLead is backed by a robust system that can:
Furthermore, you aren't limited to our pre-built library. You can define your own integrations for proprietary or niche systems using simple configuration files. Define your endpoints and data models, and Integrations.do provisions it as a new, fully callable service available through the same SDK.
The era of choosing between brittle scripts and restrictive UIs is over. Business-as-Code provides the definitive path forward for building scalable, maintainable, and robust API integrations and workflow automation.
By treating integrations as a first-class citizen of your software development lifecycle, you empower your team to move faster, reduce complexity, and build more reliable connections to the services that power your business.
