# Open API Integration

The API integration works in conjunction with [Data Capture](/customization-guide/experience-designer/post-capture/data-capture.md) to collect information from participants and deliver it directly to your own server, database, or CRM.

This option is intended for custom marketing or specialized data workflows. Because it involves connecting Simple Booth to external systems, it requires development resources to implement.

***

#### How it Works

Once configured, the API integration removes the need for manual data exports and ensures your lead generation or marketing workflows stay updated throughout your event.

After a participant submits their information via the Data Capture form, the API automatically triggers a request to your server. This transfer happens in the background, so the guest experience is uninterrupted while your database or CRM is updated in near real-time.

***

#### API Setup

To begin integrating your data capture with your own internal systems, follow the setup steps in our [**API Tokens guide**](broken://spaces/vJTZpI3QCXfVwij7yPz4/pages/qOgMxGIV60Bhfb5gxtWS).

{% hint style="info" %}
The API is designed for technical users. If you do not have a developer and need a more "plug-and-play" solution, consider using our [Mailchimp](/customization-guide/experience-designer/post-capture/data-capture/mailchimp-integration.md) integration instead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/experience-designer/post-capture/data-capture/open-api-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
