When you need to **integrate a system with no connector**, the question is what that system exposes. The answer determines which of four approaches is available.

## The four approaches

They vary in effort and in how well they survive change.

- **Open API on both sides** — the cleanest option, done with code
- **Webhooks** — where one system can notify the other of events
- **Middleware** — where both are supported by a connector service
- **Scheduled import and export** — the fallback when nothing else exists

## How to choose

| What the system exposes                 | Approach                                   |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **An API**                              | Direct integration using the SDK           |
| **Webhooks only**                       | Receive events, then write through the API |
| **Neither, but middleware supports it** | Make or Zapier                             |
| **Only file export**                    | Scheduled import, accepting the delay      |

## How to build it in Jestor

1. Confirm no native automation in **Jestor** already covers the system.
2. Use the open **API** with the SDK for your stack — Python, PHP, or .NET.
3. Configure webhooks where the other system should react to events here.
4. Fall back to middleware for tools with no other path.
5. Trace the resulting changes through the table history, filtered by source.

## Why choose Jestor for open integration?

**Jestor** states the principle plainly: any system with an open API can be integrated, which prevents the platform from becoming a boundary around your operation.

Because the change source is recorded, an integration built this way stays diagnosable — a value written unexpectedly is attributable rather than mysterious.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What if the system has no API?

Middleware, or scheduled import with the delay accepted. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Which SDKs are available?

Python, PHP, and .NET.

### Can I trace what an integration wrote?

Yes, by filtering the history by source.
