Integrations Overview

Connect DocQ with external systems via FTP, API, web services, and pre-built integrations.

DocQ provides multiple integration pathways to connect with your existing enterprise systems. Whether you need to automate file transfers, call external APIs during workflow execution, or synchronize data with third-party platforms, DocQ offers the tools to build these connections.

Integration Capabilities

FTP / sFTP / FTPS

DocQ supports file transfer via FTP, sFTP, and FTPS protocols. Use FTP integrations to:

  • Ingest documents automatically — monitor an FTP directory and import new files as documents in DocQ.
  • Export completed documents — automatically send finished documents to an FTP location when a workflow completes. This is configured per workflow in Workflow Settings.

FTP accounts are configured in the DocQ administration settings.

Email Inbox Monitoring

Configure DocQ to monitor a designated email inbox and automatically import email attachments as new documents. This is useful for organizations that receive documents via email and want to route them through workflows without manual upload.

Web-Service Steps

The Web-Service step in workflows allows you to make HTTP calls to external services as part of the document lifecycle. You can send document data to REST APIs, trigger actions in external systems, and receive responses — all without leaving the DocQ workflow. See Step Types for configuration details.

Plugin Steps

The Plugin step provides pre-built integrations with specific third-party platforms. Plugin steps are configured within workflows and expose operations tailored to each integration partner. See Step Types for more information.

API Tokens

DocQ supports API tokens for programmatic access from external systems. API tokens allow external applications to authenticate and interact with DocQ resources. Tokens are managed in the Plugin settings area of the administration panel.

Info

API tokens should be treated as sensitive credentials. Store them securely and rotate them periodically according to your organization's security policies.

Available Integrations
