Overview

AppBoost API & Integrations is the connectivity layer for marketing and product teams that need AppBoost to work with their existing tools. It offers a REST API authenticated with a project ID and API key, Zapier triggers, n8n workflows, ad pixel and Twilio setup, Mailchimp sync, and marketplace apps for Shopify and Zid, all documented publicly.

The problem

Marketing data is only useful if it reaches the tools that act on it

Installs, events and segments sit in one system while orders, spreadsheets, ad accounts and email lists sit in others. Without a supported connection, engineers build one-off scripts and marketers export files by hand.

Capabilities

What API & Integrations includes

  • REST API

    Programmatic access to AppBoost features. Every request is authorized with your project ID and API key, and public Postman documentation is available at apidocs.appgain.io.

  • Zapier triggers

    Five triggers cover users who removed the app, new users, user events with properties, tracked installs and tracked install revenue, ready to pass into Google Sheets or ad audiences.

  • n8n workflows

    Call the AppBoost messaging and automation APIs from n8n with HTTP Request nodes to send SMS, WhatsApp, email and push, fire automation events and cancel scheduled automation messages.

  • Ad pixel integrations

    Add your Facebook or X (Twitter) pixel ID in project settings, then activate the pixels on a smart deep link so visitors are collected for re-targeting.

  • Twilio SMS and WhatsApp

    Bring your own Twilio account. Enter the account SID, auth token and sender number in Platform settings and run SMS or WhatsApp campaigns through it.

  • Mailchimp sync

    When a user installs your app, their email address is added to your Mailchimp audience list, and saved segments can be targeted there.

  • Shopify and Zid apps

    Connect commerce platforms through marketplace apps for Shopify and Zid.sa, as an alternative to an SDK or API integration.

  • SDKs for every touch point

    Integrate directly with SDKs for website, Android, iOS and Flutter, then extend with the REST API where an SDK does not fit.

How it works

How API & Integrations works

  1. 1

    Get your credentials

    Open Project Settings, go to API and SDK Keys, and copy your Project ID and API key. These authorize REST API requests, including those sent from n8n.

  2. 2

    Choose the connection

    Pick the path that fits the job: REST API for custom code, Zapier or n8n for no-code workflows, or a marketplace app for Shopify or Zid.

  3. 3

    Connect channels and pixels

    Add Twilio keys under Platform settings, and add ad pixel IDs under Integrations in Project Settings, then activate pixels on your smart deep links.

  4. 4

    Test with real data

    In Zapier, test a trigger against data that matches it before choosing an action. For the API, use the Postman documentation to try requests.

Who it is for

Who uses API & Integrations

For marketing managers

Connect AppBoost events and audiences to the tools you already use, and automate routine sends without waiting on an engineering ticket.

  • Send AppBoost events to spreadsheets or ad audiences with Zapier
  • Build order confirmation or cart recovery flows in n8n
  • Use your own Twilio account for SMS and WhatsApp
  • Add ad pixels to smart links for re-targeting

For product managers

Plan integrations against a documented, key-authenticated API rather than custom exports, and keep the number of bespoke services low.

  • Single authentication model: project ID and API key
  • Public Postman documentation for testing
  • Trigger and cancel automation messages by API
  • Marketplace apps reduce integration effort for Shopify and Zid stores

Use cases

API & Integrations use cases

  • 01

    Order confirmations from your store

    Use an n8n workflow that listens for a new order and calls the AppBoost API to send an SMS or WhatsApp confirmation to the customer.

  • 02

    Audiences from app events

    Use the Zapier new user or user event trigger to add people to a Facebook custom audience, a LinkedIn matched audience or a Google Sheet.

  • 03

    Cancel a journey when the customer converts

    Fire an automation event when a purchase completes, and cancel scheduled automation messages through the API when a customer opts out or cancels.

  • 04

    Email list that grows with installs

    Connect Mailchimp so each new installer with an email address lands in your audience list, ready for email campaigns.

Frequently asked questions

API & Integrations FAQ

How do we authenticate with the AppBoost REST API?
Requests use your Project ID and API key. Copy both from your project dashboard under Project Settings, then API and SDK Keys. Public Postman documentation for the API is available at apidocs.appgain.io.
Which Zapier triggers are available?
There are five: user removed the app, new user, user event and properties, tracked app installation, and tracked app installation revenue. Use them to send data to tools such as Google Sheets, LinkedIn matched audiences or Facebook custom audiences.
What can we automate with n8n?
The n8n guide shows HTTP Request workflows for SMS, WhatsApp Business API, WhatsApp Lite, email and push notifications, plus firing an automation event and canceling automation messages. Requests use your API key in the appapikey header.
How do we connect Twilio?
Create a Twilio account and get the account SID, auth token and sender number. In Project Settings, open Advanced Settings, then Platforms, choose Twilio, set the type to SMS-TWILIO or WHATSAPP-TWILIO, enter the keys and save.
Do we need developers to integrate?
Not always. Zapier, n8n and the Shopify and Zid marketplace apps are designed for teams that prefer low-code setup, while the SDKs and REST API suit developer-led work. Your platforms can be connected by SDK, API or marketplace app.
How do integrations fit with other AppBoost products?
They move data and messages in and out of the same platform. The SDK feeds events and profiles, the API triggers channels and automation, and pixels and Mailchimp connect saved audiences to re-targeting on ad networks and email.
