CX options

Workato's CX options offer embedded partners a seamless and integrated experience that scales with your business needs, whether through managed service or self-service models.

Managed service

Workato's managed service option provides a behind-the-scenes automation platform that empowers your service team to create and manage complex integrations seamlessly. This approach offers a hands-off experience for your customers, ensuring they benefit from automation without the need for direct involvement or understanding of the integration details.

This service enables tailored integrations that enhance your product's value and customer experience, aligning with specific business needs while minimizing complexity for your end users.

Authenticate connections

When offering integrations as a managed service, it's essential to authenticate connections in your customer workspaces before activating the recipes. Workato offers the following methods for this:

• Embedded connection widget

• Embed Workato's connection widget within your application, enabling your customers to seamlessly authenticate to their app connections from your application. We recommend using this method as it ensures a reliable connection process for your customers.

• Invite customers as collaborators with limited permissions

• Create roles with limited permissions in your Workato environment and invite your customers as collaborators, assigning them these roles. This method allows your customers to authenticate their connections securely while you control their access and actions.

• Collecting credentials offline

• Collect credentials from your customers and authenticate on their behalf. We do not recommend this method due to the risks associated with handling sensitive information offline.

Self-service

Workato's self-service options enable your customers to autonomously create their own automations. This approach allows your customers to take charge of their automation needs, while your team remains available to assist, support, and scale their efforts as necessary. Integrating your product with Workato encourages customer independence and offers customized automation solutions that directly meet their specific business requirements.

White-label

Workato's White-label option allows you to seamlessly integrate the automation experience under your company's brand. This approach lets your customers access and manage integrations within an environment that mirrors your brand identity.

Workato's White-label integration

You can offer Workato's White-label option to your customers in two ways:

• Invite customers as collaborators

• Invite your customers to join your branded Workato environment as collaborators. They can register with a username and password, and then log in to Workato. This provides them with direct access tailored to their needs. You can grant a variety of roles and permissions, from basic access to more advanced controls, depending on their role and your discretion.

• SSO with JWT Direct Linking

• Securely redirect your customers from your application to Workato and authenticate them programmatically using JWT direct linking. This streamlines access within a secure framework.

After setting up your authentication method, you can also enhance your White-label experience with Workato's theme editor. This tool enables you to customize the Workato platform's interface, ensuring it matches your brand’s visual identity and offers a consistent brand experience throughout the customer journey.

Fully embedded

Embed Workato fully within your product to offer your customers comprehensive access to all its features, such as recipe editors and dashboards, directly in your app's interface.

Workato's fully embedded option allows your customers to build and manage integrations within your product. Setting up fully embedded involves embedding an iframe in your application's UI, delivering a deep integration that maintains a seamless user experience. This enables your customers to interact with a complete suite of Workato features without leaving your application, ensuring they stay engaged in your product environment while accessing Workato's automation tools.
