A common developer question is whether Mando has a public API you can call with an API key. Today it does not offer a general REST API or customer API keys. Instead, you integrate through events and webhooks.
What you can do
Three developer surfaces cover most integrations:
Developer webhooks stream your organization events to an endpoint you build.
Slack notifications post events to a Slack channel with no code.
Trigger webhooks let your system send Mando a signed request that fires a WhatsApp message.
How to think about it
To react to what happens in Mando, receive developer webhooks. To push an event into Mando and message a customer, use a trigger webhook. For a quick, no-code feed of activity, use Slack notifications. There is no separate API key to generate.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pull data with a REST call?
Not today. Mando pushes events to you through webhooks rather than exposing a public pull API.
Do I need an API key?
No. Developer webhooks use a signing secret, and trigger webhooks use a per-trigger secret.
Is there a Zapier option?
Use Slack notifications, or a trigger webhook, to connect your automation tools.
