Common Integration Patterns

Scenario 1: Sync leads from your website

  1. Form submission → POST to /clients + /quotes
  2. BindPilot generates comparative quotes
  3. Webhook notifies your system when quotes ready
  4. You email client a link to review proposals

Scenario 2: AMS sync (ongoing)

  1. Scheduled job: GET /policies and compare to your AMS
  2. Identify missing/out-of-sync policies
  3. Use POST /policies to update

Scenario 3: Custom renewal pipeline

  1. Scheduled job: GET /renewals
  2. Filter to your custom criteria (e.g., "renewals in my territory")
  3. POST tasks to your CRM system

Sandbox Environment (Coming Soon)

A sandbox API is coming in Q2 2026 for development and testing without affecting production data.
