What does it cost to have an API integration built?
At Vink the integration service costs from €799, a fixed price we agree up front.
Agencies rarely name a price, because the work depends on how many systems there are and how complex they are. That is true for us as well. So we look at your system and your data first, and only then name one fixed price. Connect it yourself and you pay nothing extra: every Integration is part of every plan.
Which data does Vink send to your system?
One JSON message per approved document, with your own fields and a few fixed details.

How to connect Vink to your system yourself
Pick a way, add it to your Form and send a test message.
- 1
Pick how you connect
A spreadsheet for an overview, your workflow tool for a workflow, or the webhook for your own system.
- 2
Add the Integration to your Form
You pick a spreadsheet inside Vink. For a workflow tool you paste the webhook URL the tool gives you.
- 3
Send a test message
Vink sends an example with your own fields. You see what arrives before any real document goes out.
- 4
Check the signature
Every message is signed, so your system knows it comes from Vink. When a message fails, Vink tries again.
- 5
Approve the first real document
After your approval the data goes to every Integration of that Form at once.
Your data lands in your own system. How it gets there is up to you.
Connect it yourself, or have it connected?
If someone on your team can build a workflow, connect it yourself. Otherwise we build it.
Connect it yourself
- A spreadsheet is built in. You sign in and pick a sheet.
- A workflow tool receives the data through the webhook, with a guide for each tool.
- Your developer uses the signed webhook or the API.
- Connecting it yourself costs nothing extra.
The integration service
From €799
We first look at your system and a few real documents. Then we build and test the connection. The price is fixed before we start and excludes VAT.
Ask for an integrationQuestions about connecting
Any system that can receive data over HTTPS. A spreadsheet is built into Vink. A workflow tool works through the webhook, and through that tool you reach many other apps. Has your ERP or accounting package no endpoint? Then the integration service builds a step in between.
Yes. You pick a spreadsheet in a few clicks. For a workflow tool you follow a guide. Only your own system needs a developer, or the integration service.
Building and testing the connection with your own data. The price is fixed and agreed before we start, from €799 excluding VAT. Your Vink plan is paid separately.
Every message carries a signature in the X-Vink-Signature header. Your system checks it with a secret key that only you and Vink know. If the signature doesn't match, you ignore the message.
Then Vink tries again later. For each document Vink shows whether the message arrived. You can also send a failed message again yourself.
Yes. With an API Key your system sends documents to Vink and reads the data back after approval. The API is described on the developers page.
Yes. You can send invoices and delivery notes to the same system, for example. Each message says which Form it comes from, so your system keeps them apart.
