Build
The Weavy API lets you build tools, apps and integrations on top of Weavy.
The API is organized around REST protocol with predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.
Weavy uses built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients.
Weavy API
Sample request; HTTP POST /api/comments
{
"attached_to": {
"id": 1,
"type": "post"
},
"text": "@jane A sample comment"
}
Sample response;
{
"type": "comment",
"text": "@jane A sample comment",
"created_at": "2017-09-15T07:10:25.4732783Z",
"tokens": [
{
"type": "mention",
"value": "jane",
"start": 0,
"end": 5
}
],
"url": "/comments/1"
}
Drop-in UI
The Drop-in UI is called Strips.
Choose one or more building blocks to include in a Strip and embed with our browser extension or a simple script. No additional programming needed.
You can have multiple Strips with different building blocks embedded in your app.
Strip Snippet
var weavy_config = { id: #, url: 'https://###' };
(function (w, d) {
var weavy;
function l() {
var s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = 'https://###/javascript/widget.js?v=1.0.0';
s.onload = function() {
weavy = new Weavy(weavy_config);
};
x = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
}
if (w.attachEvent) {
w.attachEvent('onload', l);
} else {
w.addEventListener('load', l, false); }
})

Your burning questions
Everything you wanted to know about Weavy but were too scared to ask.
What is Weavy?
Collaboration is not a standalone product, it's a set of features. With Weavy, the world's first collaboration framework, you can add collaboration features to any web and mobile app with our browser extension or one simple script.
What's all this talk about Building Blocks?
Collaboration isn't just one thing, it's a range of features. We call those Building Blocks. You can choose which ones to add to your apps.
Building Blocks included in Weavy: Contextual News Feeds, Instant Messaging and Group Chat, Task Management, Document Collaboration, Secure File Sharing, and Integrations to Office 365, Dropbox, and Windows File Shares.
You can also create your own Building Blocks. For example Meeting Notes, Wikis, ...basically anything.
Drop-in UI or build on my own? Clarify, please.
The Drop-in UI is ready from the get-go. You'll be able to embed a Swiss Army knife of collaboration features in your apps with one simple script or our browser extension. You can set your colors, logos and fonts without additional programming. We did that for you. You're welcome.
To build your own means you can show off your development skills. Whatever your app is built in: PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, .NET... it doesn't matter. You can use the Weavy API to add everything collaborative.
Can I use Weavy stand-alone as well?
Sure. Why not? Our philosophy is that collaboration should be a feature of every product you use and not a stand-alone tool. But we aren't going to be jerks about it. Just because you work differently than we do, doesn't mean you should suffer.
So yeah, use Weavy as a stand-alone tool, an embedded framework, or both, your choice. That's just how versatile Weavy is.
I've built a QuickBooks killer app, should I add Weavy?
Does the Pope have a funny hat? Of course you should. This will make your app more useful, more competitive, more engaging and really pick up that fight with QuickBooks.
What we know is collaboration. We've spent years perfecting internal processes and building the right technology so that teams run smoothly. We poured all that knowledge into Weavy for you to leverage.
So here's the thing. You've built a great accounting app. Your customers are able to balance their books, but how well is your app at helping your users connect with their team? Can they chat about an invoice? Can they ask for comments on a P&L? Can they upload and work on documents together? If they can't, then your app isn't collaborative.
We just want to make sure your app is keeping your users engaged at all times. We don't want them to leave your app to do everything else, right?
Psst... as of today QuickBooks has zero, zip, zilch, no collaboration capabilities... just saying.
Another psst... you can add Weavy to anything, you know? Not just accounting... it could be a CRM, ERP, BI, logistics app or whatever you want.
I have tons of customers using my app, does Weavy scale?
Yes, it does, and with security in mind. We have a ready to go framework to provision unique and siloed Weavy instances for each and every one of your customers.
We have an old intranet that we built. Can I add Weavy to that?
Indeed you can. Weavy is a framework that allows you to bring collaboration features into the tools you already work in. You add it to the apps you built to bring in-app messaging, secure file sharing and more. But you can also build a space for your legacy system to live. That means you get the modernity of Weavy's functionality without losing the years of work you put into your intranet.
Just remember it's not one or the other, we can weave them together.
Asking for a friend... but what about SharePoint?
Well, tell your friend that everything is going to be OK. You can add Weavy to ANY version of SharePoint and make it more collaborative and connected.
With one simple script you can have instant messaging (for example) across all your SharePoint sites. This without SharePoint migration or touching any configurations, so rest assured... it will not fall apart. It will only get better from here.
Can I add Weavy to like, any site?
Yup! Set up your own Weavy or let us host it, get that embed script and drop that Drop-in UI in there. You're all set, serving all your visitors with powerful collaboration and communication capabilities.
I'm a system integrator, can I use Weavy for my clients?
You sure can! Add Weavy to any or all of your clients' legacy apps and instantly make them collaborative with our Building Blocks.
Not only that, you can build your own integrations with other systems your clients run. Think of Weavy as your integration hub.
Do you have a showcase, so I can see it in action?
Dynamics Connect is a great example to see our Drop-in UI in action, white labeled and completely embedded into Microsoft Dynamics 365.
I want to play around and try it out. Do you have a sandbox?
The easiest way is to request a demo, and we'll show you what Weavy can do and set up your free 30 day trial.
If you want information about our API and on-premise installations, visit Weavy Docs for the guide.
Weavy... what kind of name is that?
Well, it is what it sounds like... kind of.
We like to say that we're weaving together apps, people, groups, integrations and functionality into one place—where work really happens.
So, Weavy, like thread.
Last but not least... why Weavy?
Because just about every app and site out there needs collaboration.
Adding collaboration to your apps with Weavy will save you time, eliminate the need for countless standalone apps, and centralize all your shared information.
The future of collaboration is embedded, and you're ahead of your time. That's why!
