Use Cases

Why integrate with Robin

Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Robin integrations for their customers.

01

Sync employee directories to provision Robin users automatically

02

Power hybrid attendance insights in employee experience platforms

Intranet and EX portal companies can integrate with Robin to surface 'who's in the office' data and desk availability directly inside their product, giving end users a single pane of glass for coordinating in-person collaboration.

03

Optimize corporate services based on real office headcount

Catering, facilities, and workplace services SaaS companies can read Robin reservation and presence data to dynamically adjust orders, cleaning schedules, or resource allocation based on actual hybrid attendance rather than static headcount.

04

Feed workspace utilization data into real estate analytics

Real estate optimization and ESG reporting platforms can ingest Robin's space and reservation data to help CFOs and workplace leaders identify underutilized floors, right-size leases, and quantify carbon footprint reductions.

05

Automate onboarding seat assignments from IT orchestration tools

IT automation and onboarding platforms can programmatically create Robin users and assign them to specific neighborhoods or desks during their first week, eliminating manual coordination between IT, facilities, and the new hire.

How It Works

From zero to integrated

Go live with Robin in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.

01

Link your customer’s Robin account

Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Robin account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.

02

We handle authentication

Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.

03

Call our API, we call Robin

Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Robin API. You call us, we call Robin, and pass the response back in the same cycle.

04

Unified response format

Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Robin’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.

FAQs

Common questions about Robin on Truto

Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.

Which Unified APIs does Truto support for Robin?

Truto supports the Unified User Directory API for Robin, which covers user (employee) data. Additional tools and unified API categories for Robin can be built on request based on your specific workflow needs.

How does authentication work for Robin through Truto?

Robin uses API token-based authentication. Your end users provide their Robin API credentials when connecting their account through Truto's managed auth flow, so you never have to handle or store tokens directly.

Can Truto handle Robin's API pagination and rate limits?

Yes. Truto abstracts away Robin's pagination and rate-limiting behavior. You make standard requests to Truto's Unified API, and Truto manages cursor-based pagination and respects Robin's rate limits behind the scenes.

What Robin data models are accessible today?

Through the Unified User Directory API, you can access Robin user records. If you need access to additional Robin data models like Locations, Spaces, Seats, Reservations, or Presence, Truto can build custom tools on request to cover those endpoints.

Can I write data back to Robin or is it read-only?

The specific operations available depend on the tools built for your use case. Robin's API supports both read and write operations (e.g., creating users, making reservations). Contact Truto to scope out the exact read/write capabilities you need.

How fresh is the data returned from Robin via Truto?

Truto queries Robin's API in real time by default, so data freshness matches what Robin's API returns. For high-frequency polling or bulk sync scenarios, Truto can also configure scheduled syncs to keep your local data store up to date.
