Integration & Extensibility
How CIAM lives inside the rest of the stack: documented APIs, native SDKs, webhooks and event streams, and prebuilt connectors to the CRM, marketing, and security tools you already run. A platform that cannot integrate cleanly becomes a silo no matter how good its auth is.
Core capabilities
- REST APIs
- Documented APIs for registration, auth, profile, admin, and query. Admin
- Mobile SDKs
- Native iOS and Android SDKs for auth, biometrics, and push. Engage
What to ask a CIAM vendor
- Is there full API and SDK coverage for every action the admin console can perform?
- Are identity events delivered as webhooks or an event stream for downstream systems?
- Can identity configuration be managed as code and shipped through a CI/CD pipeline?
