### Get a Developer Account <a href="#get-a-developer-account" id="get-a-developer-account"></a>

To build apps that iAdvize’s customers can use, first, you need to get a developer account. We invite you to apply thanks to our [online form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKbBBwHtXU60D0bw6dPejF1_h2VBiPAf60LpQWtJ7h6dvXeg/viewform?usp=sf_link).

* Apply and share your integration project with our team,
* The iAdvize team will contact you within 48 hours.

### Features Overview <a href="#features-overview" id="features-overview"></a>

iAdvize's Developer Platform will provide you with some easy-to-use tools so you can:

* Manager the privacy mode of your app for it to be public or private
* Set up the authentication process for your app
* Define custom settings such as object mapping (In progress)
* Create plugins to enhance some of iAdvize's predefined features
* Use outgoing webhooks to receive updates in real-time

Once your app is ready, you will be able to submit your connector for review. Then, the iAdvize team will review your app to make sure it fits the Developer Platform policies, and will get back to you within 48 hours (on working days). And then hurrah... You can publish your app on iAdvize’s marketplace!
