  1. Customer-Facing Integrations

Introduction to Embedded Integrations

These integrations are designed for your customers to use—no need for them to sign in to Fastn directly.

What Are Customer-Facing Integrations?

Customer-facing integrations let you add Fastn-powered automations right into your own app, so your users can connect to tools like Shopify, Slack, or HubSpot without ever leaving your platform.

These integrations are designed for your customers to use; no need for them to sign in to Fastn directly.

Why Built-In Integrations Matter

With such customer-facing integrations, you can:

  • Make automation feel like a built-in part of your app.

  • Let users connect their own accounts (e.g. Shopify stores) with one click.

  • Run background workflows on their behalf, fast and securely.

  • Deliver powerful features without building from scratch.

The Fastn Advantage

  • No Backend Changes Required Integrate workflows without modifying your existing infrastructure.

  • Fully Customizable UI Match the look and feel of your app with flexible styling options.

  • Connect to Popular Apps Seamlessly integrate with platforms like Slack, Jira, Shopify, Gmail, and many more.

  • Enterprise-Grade Security Fastn manages authentication, permissions, and data flow securely and reliably

How It Works (Behind the Scenes)

  1. Create a Flow Design powerful workflows in Fastn, such as exporting products, syncing data, or triggering updates across systems.

  2. Connect a Widget Attach your flow to a prebuilt, customizable UI widget ready to be embedded anywhere.

  3. Embed in Your App Drop the widget into your app using a simple script tag or iframe, no complex setup required.

  4. Let Users Take Action Your users authenticate securely, trigger flows directly from your app, and Fastn handles the rest.

Real-World Use Cases

See how teams are using Fastn to deliver powerful integrations without the usual complexity:

Shopify to Elasticsearch Sync - Built Into Your App

You're building a storefront management tool. With Fastn, your users can connect their Shopify store in one click and instantly sync product listings to Elasticsearch for lightning-fast search—no APIs to wrangle or backend scripts to maintain.

Scenario: A store owner updates a product title in Shopify → your app detects the change and updates the search index in real time.

In-App Email Campaigns for CRM Users

You're running a custom CRM. By embedding a Fastn-powered “Send Campaign” widget, your users can link their Gmail or Mailchimp accounts, segment contacts, and launch campaigns—all without ever leaving your dashboard.

Scenario: A sales rep filters 500 leads → clicks “Email Segment” → campaign is launched via Gmail with tracked metrics—all in one flow.

One-Click Data Export to Slack or Google Sheets

Let your users export reports, alerts, or product data with a single click. Add buttons like “Send to Slack” or “Export to Sheets” right in your UI using Fastn widgets.

Scenario: A product manager views a sales dashboard in your app → hits “Send to Slack” → a summary is instantly posted to #growth-team.

Automated Inventory Sync Across Channels

If you're building a multichannel inventory tool, use Fastn to let users connect platforms like Shopify, Amazon, and NetSuite—and keep inventory levels synced without them lifting a finger.

Scenario: A merchant sells a product on Shopify → Fastn detects the sale → updates inventory across Amazon and NetSuite automatically.

Sync Salesforce Deals to Your Analytics Dashboard

If your product offers advanced analytics, Fastn can power a seamless Salesforce integration, so users can pull in live deal data with just a click.

Scenario: A sales ops manager connects their Salesforce account → selects specific pipelines → within seconds, key metrics like win rates and deal velocity appear in their dashboard, refreshed daily.
