One of the wonderful things that has happened since I wrote the Open API whitepaper way back in January, is that finally, vendors are realizing how important openness really is, and are beginning to implement things in a big way. Kintera’s Connect has an API that can do some very important things. The API is SOAP.

I looked over Allan Benamer’s post on the Convio and Kintera initiatives, I looked harder at the Convio Open and Kintera Connect docs, and I also had a chat with some Kintera folk. Allan is right – the Kintera API is more comprehensive, and provides for more flexibility than the Convio API. I have a few comments.

This is when actual code is written in the CMS (via module or customization) which calls APIs on the CRM side to perform specific actions, such as adding records, syncing records, grabbing data, etc. Depending on the CRM, some require additional license fees for forms or APIs. Integration. So what’s the right strategy?

The tools are getting better and better, and one of the hallmarks of Web 2.0 – the APIs, make it all the more simple to aggregate all of someone’s online content. And if you have a Gmail account, it’s the same username/password that you’d be using for Analytics, Google Docs, Adsense, etc. tool to jump in.
