Less than one year after launching, the RingCentral Connect Platform has surpassed the milestone of one million API requests per day, and saw an increase of more than 50 percent in API requests from third party developers in Q4 2015.
The RingCentral Connect Platform offers developers a set of tools and services to build, deploy and manage custom integrations using RingCentral open APIs. The platform has integrated with a number of SaaS providers, including Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365 and Google for Work.
RingCentral also is making WebRTC APIs available to third-party developers in beta, opening up direct access to RingCentral’s voice services. The WebRTC APIs will allow developers to integrate voice capabilities into Web browsers and apps, for new ways to bring RingCentral’s enterprise cloud communications into their business applications and Web sites.
Recent partners and customers who have joined the RingCentral Connect Platform include the following:
- Google for Work – An integration announced last year that was recognized in the “Recommended for Google Apps for Work” program and to date has been adopted by over 1,000 businesses
- Zapier (Beta) – A cloud integration service that enables users to build custom workflows between RingCentral and more than 500 pre-integrated software tools such as Salesforce, Gmail, Dropbox, Box, and MailChimp, all using a simple workflow builder that requires no development
