# Journey API

## Journey API

A high-level introduction to the iMBRACE Developer Portal—what it is, who it’s for, and what you can do with it.

### 1. What is the Developer Portal? <a href="#id-1-what-is-the-developer-portal" id="id-1-what-is-the-developer-portal"></a>

The **iMBRACE Developer Portal** is a self-service platform that enables developers—internal or external—to build, manage, and publish custom applications within the iMBRACE ecosystem.

It provides a streamlined environment to:

* Create and manage app integrations (called Journeys)
* Register and preview your hosted UI
* Visually connect with workflows
* Test directly in the dashboard
* Publish to a centralized Marketplace

### 2. Who is it for? <a href="#id-2-who-is-it-for" id="id-2-who-is-it-for"></a>

* Product developers building internal tools
* Partners creating integrations with iMBRACE features
* Agencies or third parties customizing customer journeys

Whether you’re enhancing onboarding flows, launching campaign tools, or embedding AI assistants, the Dev Portal gives you the tools to do it efficiently.

### 3. What can you build? <a href="#id-3-what-can-you-build" id="id-3-what-can-you-build"></a>

With the Developer Portal, you can create:

* Messaging integrations (e.g., WhatsApp, email)
* Marketing tools (e.g., Facebook Ads manager)
* AI-powered assistants
* Workflow-powered UI experiences

Apps are powered by a visual workflow engine, with embedded UI previews and Dev Test environments for validation.

### 4. Key Benefits <a href="#id-4-key-benefits" id="id-4-key-benefits"></a>
