Integration Apps are prebuilt, fully managed integration solutions that enable businesses to connect enterprise applications and automate key processes easily. By eliminating the need for complex development, they help reduce the time and cost associated with integration maintenance.

Unlike traditional integration methods that require extensive coding and ongoing IT intervention, Integration Apps come with preconfigured workflows, built-in business logic, and automated error handling. This allows organizations to quickly deploy integrations, adapt to evolving business needs, and scale operations without the burden of maintaining custom-built connectors.

Features of Integration Apps

  • Prebuilt, fully managed integrations – Integration Apps come with ready-to-use workflows that connect enterprise applications without the need for extensive coding or IT support.

  • Real-time data synchronization – Integration Apps ensure instant, bidirectional data flow between connected systems, preventing data silos and enabling accurate, up-to-date information across applications.

  • Automated error handling and monitoring – Built-in exception management, alerts, and dashboards help users quickly identify and resolve integration issues, ensuring smooth data flows and minimizing disruptions.

  • Scalability and performance optimization – Designed to handle high transaction volumes, Integration Apps support growing businesses by efficiently managing data synchronization across multiple systems, ensuring real-time accuracy and reliability.

Celigo Integration Apps power workflow automation by handling task-specific data exchanges between applications—like syncing invoices from NetSuite to QuickBooks or updating Salesforce contacts in HubSpot.

But they don’t stop there.

When combined with multiple workflows, decision-making logic, and a governed automation strategy, they drive business process automation (BPA), orchestrating end-to-end processes like quote-to-cash or order-to-cash with minimal manual intervention.

Integration Apps deliver instant workflow automation with prebuilt business logic, real-time data synchronization, and AI-powered exception management while providing a scalable foundation for advanced BPA initiatives.

These capabilities make Integration Apps a low-maintenance, high-impact solution for businesses looking to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve efficiency.

Key benefits of using Integration Apps

  • Faster deployment – Prebuilt workflows and configurations allow businesses to set up integrations quickly, reducing implementation time compared to custom-built solutions.

  • Lower maintenance costs – Since Integration Apps are fully managed, businesses save time and resources on ongoing maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting.

  • Improved data accuracy – Real-time synchronization ensures that information across connected applications remains up to date, minimizing errors caused by manual data entry or outdated records.

  • Scalability to support growth – Integration Apps are designed to handle increasing transaction volumes and evolving business needs, making them a long-term solution as operations expand.

Integration Apps vs. Integration Templates

Integration Apps are fully managed, prebuilt solutions designed for end-to-end automation, with built-in business logic and minimal setup required. In contrast, Integration Templates provide a starting point for integrations, requiring manual configuration and customization to fit specific business needs.

When choosing between Integration Apps and Integration Templates, it’s important to understand their differences in setup, customization, and maintenance.

The table below outlines how they compare to help you determine the best fit for your business needs.

Feature Integration Apps Integration Templates
Setup time Preconfigured, instant deployment Requires manual configuration
Business logic Built-in automation rules Basic workflow structure, needs customization
Error handling AI-driven exception management Requires manual error handling rules
Scalability Supports high transaction volumes Best for simple use cases
Ongoing maintenance Fully managed with automatic updates Users must manually update workflows
Customization Configurable settings Requires more effort to customize
Best for End-to-end, business-critical automation One-off or lightweight integrations

When to use Integration Apps vs. templates

Use Integration Apps if you need:

  • A fully managed, scalable automation solution.
  • Minimal IT involvement for setup and maintenance.
  • Support for high transaction volumes (e.g., thousands of orders or invoices per day).

Use Integration Templates if you need:

  • A highly customized integration with unique business rules.
  • IT resources available to configure and maintain integrations.
  • A simple, one-time data sync (e.g., migrating contacts between platforms).
