Integration

An Integration refers to a pre-built connection between the platform and a specific third-party service or tool. Integrations enable the platform to interact with other tools and services, such as -

• Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP),
• Communication tools (Microsoft Teams, Slack, SMS),
• Security tools (Trend Micro Cloud One, Conformity) and more.

Each integration offers a set of functionalities and methods that you can use to interact with the external tool or service.

For example, the AWS integration provides a set of methods for managing AWS resources, such as creating, updating, and deleting EC2 instances or S3 buckets. Similarly, the Microsoft Teams integration provides methods for sending messages to a Teams channel.

Users can also create custom integrations by using webhooks.
