Integration Types

Before beginning a project, this helps to understand how you will integrate with Alkami SDK.

Custom Widget and Microservice Integration

Build your own custom Widget and leverage Alkami microservices or build your own custom Microservice that connects to an external system. These typically have specialized business logic that is performed prior to passing data to an external system.

Example: A custom widget with a microservice that checks account permissions before passing to an external system.

SDK Provider Integration

Use an existing Alkami Widget but customize your own business logic.

Example: A custom card management provider that works behind the Alkami Card Management interface.

Standard SSO

A single sign-on (SSO) interface that uses a set of predefined fields, limited to one account at a time. This no-code approach supports connecting to several SSO protocols through a configuration script.

SDK SSO Integration

A more complex SSO that requires business logic or fields unavailable through Standard SSO.

Example: Bill pay determines permissions on accounts before passing to an external interface

API

An external application that requires user authentication into the Alkami platform to retrieve account information, initiate transfers, and so on.
