12th Feb AMA: I'm Courtney Youngblutt, Xplan Design Consultant & efficiency expert, Ask Me Anything!
Hi Courtney,
We really miss having a dedicated BDM. One of the projects we need to work on is pulling data from another system—our custodian—to ensure that portfolio data and client information are up to date.
How do we go about starting this project and is there an API that we can work with to make this work?
Regards
Jarrod
Hi Jarrod, great question and happy to help. While you may not have a one-on-one Account Manager, there is a team of specialists who can help direct you to the right people for projects such as this - raise a request via Iress Connect initially - just say that you were talking to me on the Advisley AMA, and they will put you in touch with the right person.
Xplan has an open API so it is absolutely possible to push data from another system into Xplan. You generally need an API specialist on your end who can do all the heavy lifting of building out the API but once agreement are signed, you are given access to a developers forum to walk you through all the technical requirements.
We are absolutely happy to help you work through this.
