Unlocking Your Tech Stack: How Ivy.do Integrates with Any API

In today's business landscape, your tech stack is your engine for growth. You have specialized tools for everything: a CRM for customer data, a service desk for support, marketing platforms for outreach, and databases for your core application. While each tool is powerful on its own, their true potential is often locked away in data silos. The real challenge isn't acquiring new tools—it's getting them to work together seamlessly.

What if you could have a single, intelligent agent that could operate across your entire ecosystem of apps? A digital teammate that could use your existing tools just like a human employee would, but with the speed, reliability, and scalability of software.

Meet Ivy, your autonomous digital worker. Ivy is designed to be the central nervous system for your tech stack, using simple API integrations to execute complex business processes. Let's explore how Ivy can connect to any tool and transform your fragmented services into a unified, agentic workflow.

What is an Autonomous Digital Worker?

Before diving into the "how," let's clarify what Ivy is. Forget chatbots that simply react to user input. Ivy is an autonomous agent you deploy to proactively get work done.

Think of Ivy as a Service-as-Software—a persistent, reliable digital teammate that you manage through code. You define Ivy's role, grant it access to the necessary tools, and assign it high-level objectives. Ivy handles the rest, working tirelessly in the background to execute long-running tasks.

Key takeaway: Ivy isn't another app to manage. It’s a worker that manages tasks within your existing apps.

The API: Your Digital Worker's Keyring

The magic behind Ivy's universal connectivity is the Application Programming Interface (API). APIs are the universal language of modern software, allowing different applications to talk to each other.

You can think of it like this:

• When you hire a new employee, you give them a username and password to access tools like Salesforce, Google Workspace, or Slack.
• When you deploy Ivy, you give it API keys to those same services.

This "digital keyring" empowers Ivy to log in and operate your tools programmatically. It can pull data from one service, process it, and push the result to another, all based on the instructions you provide.

How Ivy Connects Your Tools: A Practical Example

Let's make this concrete. Imagine you want to automate your new user onboarding process—a classic, high-value workflow that often involves multiple manual steps.

With Ivy, you don't need to write brittle, custom integration scripts. You simply give your digital worker a goal.

Here’s how you’d deploy your first digital teammate using the .do SDK:

import { ivy } from '@do/sdk';

// 1. Create a new instance of your digital worker
const myAgent = ivy.create('ivy-01', {
  persona: 'Onboarding Specialist'
});

// 2. Assign a complex, long-running task
const job = await myAgent.assign({
  task: 'Process all new user signups from the past 24 hours.',
  instructions: [
    'Validate email addresses using clearbit.do',
    'Create a personalized welcome document using content.do',
    'Send a welcome email via courier.do'
  ]
});

console.log(`Job ${job.id} started. Ivy is on it.`);

Let's break down what's happening.

1. Define the Worker: You create ivy-01 and give it the Onboarding Specialist persona. This helps frame its capabilities and objectives.
2. Grant Access (The Tools): Behind the scenes, you would have configured Ivy with the API credentials for clearbit.do (for data enrichment), content.do (for document generation), and courier.do (for email delivery).
3. Assign the Goal: You assign a high-level task with simple, natural language instructions. You aren't writing fetch requests or handling authentication tokens. You're delegating.

Ivy interprets these instructions and executes an agentic workflow:

• It calls the Clearbit API to verify the new user's email and gather enrichment data.
• It uses that data to call your content generation service, creating a hyper-personalized welcome guide.
• Finally, it uses the Courier API to send a beautifully formatted welcome email, complete with the personalized document.

From Linear Workflows to Agentic Automation

This is where Ivy fundamentally differs from simple automation tools like IFTTT or Zapier. Those tools are excellent for linear, If-This-Then-That logic. But business processes are rarely that simple.

Ivy enables agentic AI automation, which includes:

• Conditional Logic: You could add an instruction like, "If clearbit.do identifies the user as an enterprise lead, create a high-priority task in our CRM for sales follow-up." Ivy can make these decisions on the fly.
• Error Handling & Retries: What if your email API is temporarily down? Instead of failing silently, Ivy can be configured to retry the task after a delay, or even post a message to a Slack channel to alert a human teammate.
• Long-Running Processes: Onboarding isn't a one-time event. Ivy can manage a 14-day follow-up sequence, checking in on user activity, and sending helpful tips over time—all as part of the initial job.

Put Your Entire Tech Stack to Work

Your tech stack is more than just a collection of software licenses. It's a powerhouse of potential waiting to be unleashed. Ivy.do provides the intelligence and autonomy to connect the dots, transforming a set of siloed tools into a single, cohesive machine.

By giving your digital worker access to your APIs, you're not just automating a task—you're building a smarter, more efficient organization.
