The Kraaft API lets you connect your Kraaft workspace to your other tools and automate your workflows: no more double data entry — just smart connections 💡!
📌 What is the Kraaft API?
The Kraaft API is a technical interface that lets your external tools communicate directly with Kraaft 💡 In practice, you can trigger actions automatically, with no manual input.
Here are some examples of what you can do:
🏗️ Automatically create a Kraaft conversation from your ERP when a project is launched
📂 Archive your reports to SharePoint, Google Drive or your DMS as soon as they're complete
🔔 Trigger an action in an external tool as soon as a report changes status in Kraaft
☑️ Step 1: Activate the API on your Kraaft workspace
The Kraaft API isn't enabled by default ⚙️ To get access, contact our support team.
⚠️ Only an account owner can request activation.
🔑 Step 2: Create a Kraaft API key
Once the API is activated, the administrator or owner of the workspace can create keys from the settings.
Go to the Menu → Settings of your workspace
Click on the API Keys tab 🔑
Click "Create an API key" ➕
Give it a meaningful name (e.g. "Make - ERP" or "Zapier - Archiving") 📋
Choose the role for the key based on your use case
The available roles:
Role | Rights & access | When to use it? |
Standard | Access only to conversations the key has been manually added to | Targeted use on specific conversations |
Administrator & Owner | Full access to the workspace, creation and modification | Classic use for a global integration |
⚠️ The key is shown only once — copy it immediately! If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one (takes 2 minutes, but better to avoid it 😅)
📦 What you can do with the Kraaft API
The API is built around 4 resources:
🗂️ Workspaces — list the workspaces accessible with your key
📋 Schemas — read the structure of your reports to know what to send and receive
📝 Records & Conversations — list, read, create and update your reports and conversations
⚡ Events — detect everything happening in Kraaft in real time
⚡ Spotlight on Events 🔍
Kraaft keeps a log of everything that happens: every report created, updated or deleted generates an event 🔔 Two ways to consume them:
Event list — query Kraaft at regular intervals ("what happened since last time?")
Real-time events — receive events instantly as they happen ⚡
💡 Example: your ERP is automatically notified as soon as a report changes to "Done" status in Kraaft — with no manual action needed.
❌ What's not yet possible: sending messages or files via the Kraaft chat.
🤖 Using the Kraaft API with an automation tool
Want to connect the Kraaft API to a no-code tool? Absolutely possible 🎉
✅ Make: native Kraaft connectors are available directly in Make
🔧 Zapier, n8n and others: use the HTTP or API request modules in your tool to call the Kraaft API
🔜 More native Kraaft connectors will be available in other tools in the future
