API integration & automation

Alken orchestrates data between your systems and external platforms so your team can focus on decisions, not manual tasks. Each integration is designed for resilience, retries and error handling from day one.

From lead synchronisation to real-time business dashboards, everything follows up-to-date security standards.

Integration experience

  • Google Ads and advertising platforms
  • CRMs such as HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho
  • E-commerce and billing platforms
  • Internal systems and ERPs via REST/GraphQL APIs
  • Automations with Zapier, n8n or serverless workflows

What you can expect

Secure architecture

Credential rotation, in-transit encryption and dedicated secret management keep access under control.

Observability

Centralised logs, dashboards and alerts to detect third-party issues and trigger automatic retries.

Quality by default

Contract tests, API mocks and staging environments validate changes without impacting production.

Deliverables

Clear documentation, playbooks for your team and dashboards to monitor every integration status. Knowledge transfer sessions are included so you can keep evolving the solution.

Frequently asked questions

What APIs and platforms does Alken integrate?
Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Stripe, Factusol, Holded, SAP, custom ERPs and any platform with a REST or GraphQL API. Alken also builds custom connectors for legacy systems via database-level or file-based integrations.
How are API failures and downtime handled?
Every integration is built with retry logic, dead-letter queues and alerting from day one. If a third-party API goes down, the system queues messages and replays them automatically once it recovers — your data is never silently lost.
Can you integrate with systems that don't have a public API?
Yes. Alken has experience building connectors via SFTP file exchange, database polling, browser automation and reverse-engineered private APIs. Each approach is evaluated for maintainability risk before committing.
How long does an integration project take?
A single well-documented API integration (e.g. CRM to Google Ads sync) typically takes 2–4 weeks including testing and staging validation. Multi-system orchestration projects are scoped in the discovery phase.
What monitoring is included?
A centralised dashboard showing sync status, error rates and last-run timestamps for every integration. Alerts are sent via email or Slack when thresholds are breached.
