API for Requests: Enhancing Automation and Efficiency

🚀 Feature Request

The requests feature in [API for Requests] is great, however it's lacking an essential component - an API to create requests and automate the process once a request is handled. This limitation hinders users from fully leveraging the potential of the requests feature. Introducing an API to create requests would be a significant improvement, allowing users to programmatically create requests and streamline their workflow. Furthermore, a configuration option to trigger a webhook on request completion would enable users to automate follow-up actions, such as sending notifications or updating external systems.

🔈 Motivation

The primary motivation behind this feature request is to automate the creation of requests during onboarding of new clients. This would save time and reduce the likelihood of human error, ensuring that all necessary requests are created and submitted promptly. Additionally, users would like to be able to handle the secure storage of information in their password manager after submission. This would provide an added layer of security and convenience, allowing users to easily manage their sensitive information.

🛰 Alternatives

At this time, no alternative solutions have been identified that can fully meet the requirements outlined in this feature request. The existing requests feature, while useful, falls short in terms of automation and API integration. Introducing an API for requests would provide a more comprehensive solution, enabling users to create requests programmatically and automate follow-up actions.

📎 Additional Context

To better understand the context and requirements surrounding this feature request, it's essential to consider the following:

  • Current workflow: Users currently create requests manually, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Automation needs: Users require an API to create requests and automate follow-up actions, such as sending notifications or updating external systems.
  • Security concerns: Users need a secure way to store sensitive information, such as passwords and other credentials.
  • Integration requirements: Users require the ability to integrate with external systems, such as password managers and PSA/service desk software.

Benefits of API for Requests

Introducing an API for requests would bring numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved automation: Users can create requests programmatically, reducing the likelihood of human error and saving time.
  • Enhanced security: Users can securely store sensitive information, such as passwords and other credentials.
  • Increased efficiency: Users can automate follow-up actions, such as sending notifications or updating external systems.
  • Better integration: Users can integrate with external systems, such as password managers and PSA/service desk software.

Implementation Roadmap
