REST API Module for Worksuite CRM

🏆 Title

REST API Module for Worksuite CRM – Secure Laravel API to Integrate Mobile Apps, Portals & Third-Party Services

🚀 Overview

The REST API Module for Worksuite CRM exposes a well-structured HTTP API so you can connect mobile apps, external websites, and backend services to your Worksuite instance for real-time data sync and automation. It’s built on top of Worksuite’s Laravel codebase and leverages Froiden’s Laravel REST package for consistent authentication, resources, and error handling. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Real-world use: teams ship React/Vue frontends, native iOS/Android apps, or partner portals that create leads, log time, manage projects, and post invoices through the API—without touching the admin UI. Postman documentation helps developers prototype endpoints quickly. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Target users: Agencies, SaaS providers, MSPs, and in-house dev teams who need a stable integration layer for Worksuite CRM and Worksuite SAAS variants. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
