API

The API integration works by sending data to IntraManager Board via our API. The API functions by sending data to our endpoint using a JSON-based POST call.

The API provides many options for sending various data into Board for which there are no existing integrations.

Set Up Data Source 

To set up the API as a data source in IntraManager Board, you need to be an Administrator and thus able to add data sources in general.

When you are setting up the API integration for Board, simply follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations.

2. Click on Add Integration and select API.

3. Give the integration an alternative title, if you need to distinguish between multiple data sources of the same type.

4. The template should be set to User-defined.

5. Click Next and then click Save.

6. After this, you will see the following screen, where the URL and token are displayed for the integration, which should be inserted into the tool from which you wish to send data to Board.

Next, you need to create fields, which you can easily do by: 

1. Click on the tab Fields
2. Clicking on Add Field.
3. Choosing field type, depending on whether you want to create a field as a number, text, date, date & time, time, or yes/no.
4. Naming the field with a title.
5. Specifying the key; if this field is left blank, a key will be autogenerated.
6. Selecting the system type, this is not required.
7. Entering a standard value.
8. Choosing whether to allow sending a empty value.
9. Selecting whether the field is required.
10. Clicking Save.

Once the above steps are completed, you can create your KPIs so that you are ready to visualize your data. You can read more about how to create KPIs here.

Fields are used to validate data, but they are not mandatory.

To display text in your table, you can create text fields and display your data from the columns in your datasource.

Timezones

You can define the time zone yourself when sending data to Board via the API.

For example, "2025-05-08T13:43:18" can be "2025-05-08T13:43:18+02:00", which ensures the time is shown according to the time zone we use in Denmark.

We then convert it to UTC time, which we always use for calculations.

If no time zone is specified, we use the time zone selected under your organization and convert accordingly.
