Application Programming Interface (API) lets different apps talk to one another. APIs facilitate interaction between different devices and applications by exposing a limited number of basic functions. For many users, the API access key is used to interact with the API instead of a password.
The QuestionPro REST API, with built-in HTTP features like authentication, interacts securely with the client-side web application. All responses will be returned in the JSON format. The authentication is done by sending the API key in the request.
How is API integration helpful in a customer experience program?
Now that we know that API helps to automate a process between two applications, the next thing we need to know is how can an API integration be useful for a customer experience program.
The APIs listed in the below section collectively help you to automate the process of sending a survey via an email or SMS, get the delivery statistics of the invites and once people start responding to your API survey, they automate the process of fetching the actual responses with all the relevant data.
In short, QuestionPro CX API integrations simplify the end to end process of surveying your customers by minimizing your manual efforts. How amazing does it sound!
