What is iGUIDE Integrations?
iGUIDE integrations allows your systems to “talk” to iGUIDE automatically.
Instead of logging into the iGUIDE Portal to upload, download, or manage projects, your tools can handle these steps for you in the background
Use Cases / Examples
Automatically create and process iGUIDEs
If you use scheduling or dispatch software, you can set things up so new iGUIDE projects are created automatically as part of your workflow.
Get notified when an iGUIDE is ready
Your system can receive a notification as soon as an iGUIDE is published. From there, you can:
- Send files to clients
- Upload assets to a listing platform
- Start internal review processes
Automatically download deliverables
Instead of manually downloading files, your system can pull:
- Floor plans
- Photos
- CAD and drafting files
This is especially helpful if you regularly move files between platforms.
Access measurement data
Room measurements (like dimensions and square footage) can be pulled directly into your system, so you don’t have to reference floor plan PDFs.
Embed iGUIDE in your own platform
If you have a website or client portal, you can display the iGUIDE viewer directly within your platform for a seamless experience.
Upload additional photos
You can add extra images (like drone shots or marketing photos) to an iGUIDE project without using the portal.
Keep listing details up to date
If you use tags or annotations in your iGUIDEs, you can update the text and details automatically from your system.
Order additional services
You can request and track additional services (like advanced drafting) without logging into the portal.
How Integrations Typically Work
Most integrations follow a simple flow:
- Your system creates or tracks an iGUIDE project
- iGUIDE processes the project
- Your system is notified when it’s ready
- Files and data are automatically delivered where they’re needed
Some businesses automate this entire process, while others only automate specific steps.
Getting Started
- Share the iGUIDE developer documentation with your technical team:
docs.youriguide.com - Create API credentials in the iGUIDE Portal under:
Settings → API Management - For help planning your setup, contact your account manager or reach out to:

Important Notes / Limitations
- Initial setup requires a developer or technical partner
- You can choose how much or how little to automate
- Permissions can be customized to control what each integration can access
- Some features (like layout or positioning changes) are still managed in the iGUIDE Portal
