{"id":64733,"title":"Vessel: Easily integrate with your customer’s CRM","tagline":"Vessel allows developers to read and write to their customer’s CRM with one integration.","body":"### ⁉️ Problem\n\nFor products that need access to their customer’s CRM, having a breadth of integrations has become table-stakes. However, it is difficult to build CRM integrations in-house, because you need to:\n\n* support different types of authentication\n* understand the data model, APIs, and ever-changing specs of each CRM platform\n* handle platform limitations like API quotas and limited webhooks support\n* transform data from your customer’s CRM for use in your product\n\nCompanies are spending a lot of engineering resources building and maintaining CRM integrations in-house. For instance, we spoke to a company that built a HubSpot integration and had to turn it off because they didn’t have the resources to handle HubSpot’s API limits.\n\n### 💡 Solution\n\nVessel is the universal API for CRMs, making it easy for developers to build applications that integrate with their customer’s CRM.\n\n* A unified interface to read and write across 8 objects: Accounts, Leads, Contacts, Deals, Events, Notes, Tasks, [Users](https://vesseldocs.stoplight.io/docs/vessel/603bd0ce2abb1-get-all-users)\n* [Webhooks](https://vesseldocs.stoplight.io/docs/vessel/e1m6clym4s5ya-webhooks) to keep your data fresh without polling even if the end platform does not offer webhooks on certain objects.\n* A drop-in UI to securely connect your customer’s CRM to your product\n* Avoidance of rate limits for platforms you integrate with\n* Improved developer experience with strongly associated objects. You can easily identify all of the associated objects (e.g. going from leads -\u003e accounts, accounts -\u003e leads)\n\n### ⚡ Get started\n\nIf you’re looking to integrate CRMs into your product, book some time [here](https://calendly.com/vesselapi/vessel-demo) or send us an email with your use case at [founders@vessel.land](mailto:founders@vessel.land)!
