New Integration Guidelines
Since Cobot strives to be easily manageable, we expect the same from our Integration Partners' add-ons. This is the key requirement that needs to be fulfilled. In order to get the best feeling of what the experience for future users will look like, we highly recommend creating a free Cobot test account first. Once you are familiar with the platform’s main features, you can go ahead and start building your add-on or integrate the one you have already built. For API endpoints, please review our REST API Documentation, OAuth2 Access Tokens, and OAuth2 Client Applications.
There is no further registration or additional setup needed.
In order to make sure that a holistic, uncomplicated and well-functioning integration will be set up for our customers, we ask you to see the recommendations and requirements below before submitting your Add-On via the Submission Form.
1. Recommendations
- Use navigation links/iframes to be present in the Cobot UI
- Allow publications of activities on the admin dashboard
- Support different languages.
- Align pricing along Cobot subscriptions
- Request a developer subscription for your Cobot test account.
2. Requirements
2.1. GDPR Compliance
Due to strict GDPR, all Cobot partner integrations must be GDPR-compliant. This is foremost the responsibility of the partner.
2.2. Payment regulation and revenue sharing
Cobot and the Integration Partner will jointly consent on the price the end users will have to pay for the integration. The monthly subscription for the service will be displayed for users prior to the installation. A test period of at least 30 days shall automatically be provided for all users by the Integration Partner. Afterwards, the Add-On’s prices shall be pursuant to Cobot’s subscriptions and be paid together with the Cobot invoice. At the end of each calendar month, Cobot shall pay maximum of 70% of the revenue to the Partner. The service can be cancelled anytime by the user without a cancellation period or a fee.
2.3. Regulation of support
The Integration Partner will be responsible for handling all user support for the Add-On. A respective support e-mail address will be visible for all users after installing the Add-On in order to ensure uncomplicated and quick support. Additionally, Cobot will permit users to submit trouble tickets for the Add-On to the Cobot Support Center and transmit such tickets to the Integration Partner. General, non-technical questions concerning the integration may be answered by Cobot Support, too.
3. Marketing
Cobot will publish an article in the monthly newsletter as well as publish a blogpost on the Cobot website once the integration is officially launched. Moreover, both parties may decide to participate in additional joint marketing activities to promote the Add-On.
4. Resources
The Cobot blog is a great place to get Coworking news and advice from around the world, and it also provides a wealth of information on how other spaces have extended Cobot.
