Integrations-as-code

Build integrations in code or in a workflow builder

Paragon offers a Typescript Framework that is fully integrated with our visual workflow builder. This combines the benefits of our Embedded iPaaS with the flexibility and control of code.

Merge is just an API, which means your team still needs to orchestrate the integration logic, build in error-handling, and build the infrastructure to support concurrency.

Paragon provides a serverless workflow engine so your team can easily implementing the business logic, either in code (Paragraph) or with a visual workflow builder, without worrying about the plumbing.

Version control, code review, and collaborate on integrations

Bi-directionally synced with your git repository

CLI for managing your Paragon project programatically

API Coverage

White-labeled and native to your application

While Workato forces you to iFrame their entire UI into your app, Paragon makes it easy to design an integration experience that feels native to your application.

White-labeled and customizable embedded JavaScript modal

Dynamic field mapping and user settings

Fully customize the UI with our headless SDK

Deployment

Developer-native deployment process

Don't risk accidentally deploying untested changes to integrations in production on Workato.

Paragon provides a robust release environments pipeline to ensure changes are safely deployed and version controlled.

Separate Development, Staging, and Production environments

Diff that highlights changes between versions

Warnings that highlight potential breaking changes being introduced

Monitoring

Robust monitoring & observability

Don’t settle for Workato’s simple task-level logging.

Support dashboard for integration health

Webhooks for streaming errors to DataDog, Sentry, New Relic, etc.

Task history API to query usage patterns

Hosting options

Enterprise-level security

That's why Paragon offers both cloud and self-hosted deployment options, to fit your security requirements.
