REST Object Type Kit for M-Files

Connect external systems with M-Files and ensure data accuracy

Easily connect external systems with M-Files using REST

Import objects from an external REST web service into M-Files as external objects.

Easily sync data

Seamless connection

Seamless synchronization of multiple systems

REST OT Kit for M-Files supports both simple scenarios where objects should only be viewable within the M-Files client, but also more complex ones where objects created, changed, or deleted in the M-Files client should be pushed back to the originating web service.

Object Retrieval

Objects can be fetched from an external service to another system. For example, customer, employee and partner data from an external system can be synced to M-Files.

Object Push

Objects changed or deleted in M-Files can be pushed back to the external service to be updated or deleted. Any change in one system will be updated in the other system. The data always remains the same.

Use case

Sync Users via REST OT Kit

REST OT Kit allows users to synchronize external data in M-Files via REST API, for example Users, Products, Cost Centers. This connector is most useful for doing integration between two systems, to make sure that both systems have the same data and to avoid inconsistency of data.
