Blueprint is an innovative tool transforming the way integrations are built. This forward-thinking product is now in beta and empowers users to contribute to Merge's Unified APIs, enhancing the speed of integration development.
The primary goal of Blueprint is to normalize the various fields and endpoints of third-party platforms to Merge’s Common Models through the power of AI. To get started, you simply select a category and input your platform's API Reference URL. Blueprint then automatically generates an API definition that aligns with Merge's standards.
· Input: Share the API documentation URL.
· Generation: Blueprint crafts the API blueprint.
· Acceleration: Request to add Blueprint’s output to Merge’s Unified APIs.
This tool is not just about generating part of an integration; it's also about understanding how the Merge team can automate the integration building process. Blueprint showcases how third-party endpoints and fields align with Merge's Common Models in seconds. This process is critical in developing new offerings for Merge's extensive platform, which already supports over 170 integrations.
If Merge does not yet support your desired integration, you can send in a request. The engineering team then reviews and prioritizes the request, taking various factors into account. This collaborative approach allows users to influence the development roadmap of Merge's offerings.
