API Access & Custom Objects

Connect your Smart Website to any software on the planet—automate workflows, sync data in real time, and unlock AI-powered experiences without limits.

What is API Access? (Plain English)

Think of APIs as universal translators for software. An API (Application Programming Interface) lets your Smart Website talk to other software—your CRM, email platform, payment processor, AI tools, inventory system, and thousands more—automatically and instantly.

Example: When a customer fills out a form on your website, API access lets that information instantly flow into your CRM, trigger an AI follow-up email, update your accounting software, and notify your team—all without you lifting a finger.

Custom Objects let you track anything unique to your business in your CRM—properties, equipment, projects, subscriptions, events—structured exactly how you need it. If standard CRM fields don't fit your business, custom objects give you unlimited flexibility.
