Integrations Overview
After reading this article you will know how to find your way around the integrations directory, which integrations are available today, which ones are still in preparation, and what each one does for your day-to-day workflow.
Under Integrations you connect external services to your Univents workspace — from payment processing and calendar or email sync to the DATEV export for accounting and access for your own automations.
The page is a directory: every integration has its own card, and clicking one opens the matching detail page with all its settings.
Finding your way around the directory
Navigate to Integrations in the left sidebar. You land on the All integrations page with every card.
- The "CATEGORIES" bar on the left — All, Accounting, Payments, Email & calendar, AI, and Developer, each with the number of integrations next to it. Clicking one filters the cards; you stay on the overview, the page does not change.
- The selected category appears in the address bar, so you can share it as a link — handy if a colleague only needs to see the accounting connections.
- Search field at the top (Search integration) — type a provider name or a keyword to jump straight to the right card.
- On a phone, the category bar expands and collapses as a row of chips above the cards.
- Clicking a card opens that integration's detail page. The ← All integrations link in the top left takes you back to the directory at any time.
What a card tells you at a glance
- A green dot with "Connected" — the integration is set up and active in this workspace.
- A "Coming soon" badge — the provider is in preparation and cannot be connected yet.
- A plan badge reading From Core or From Growth — the integration isn't included in your current plan yet. The detail page shows you the upgrade option.
Plus the buttons on the card:
- Open takes you to the detail page, where you connect and configure the integration.
- Register interest replaces "Open" on every card that is still in preparation.
- Guide opens the matching help article, so you don't have to search for it.

What is still in preparation
Under Accounting you will also see a card for BuchhaltungsButler. It is marked Coming soon and cannot be connected today — not even through support.
What you can do: click Register interest on the card. We will let you know as soon as the connection is ready. Until then, four other routes get you into accounting: the DATEV and BMD exports as a file, or sevdesk and bexio as a direct transfer — see the "Accounting" section below.
Payments — Stripe
Open the Stripe card. Once Stripe is active, customers can pay directly during an online booking and the revenue is automatically transferred to your linked bank account.
- Click Connect with Stripe to start the Stripe onboarding. You will be redirected to the Stripe website.
- If you have already started but not yet completed the onboarding, you will see the Continue onboarding button.
- When the connection is active, Univents displays the Active badge next to the Stripe entry. You can disconnect at any time using Disconnect.
The full guide is in Connect the Stripe payment integration.
Calendar — Google and Microsoft
Use the Calendar card to sync events in both directions between Univents and your calendar application.
- Click Connect calendar to start a sign-in.
- After signing in, the connection card appears. Use the Select calendar dropdown to choose your target calendar.
- Use Assign locations to specify which of your locations should write events to this calendar. Without an assignment, events go to all connected calendars.
- Click Sync now to manually fetch external appointments.
- If the connection card shows the Connection expired — reconnect badge, click that same button to renew the sign-in.
Details are in Set up calendar sync.
Email inbox — Gmail, Outlook, IMAP
Use the Email inbox card to mirror incoming emails into Univents and link messages to inquiries, events, and contacts.
Before connecting, choose your visibility setting under Visibility of new email accounts:
- Per workspace (default) — all team members can see the inbox.
- Per user — only the person who connected the account can see it.
Then click Connect email account and follow the sign-in flow. The first sync can take up to 24 hours before all historical messages are loaded. Details are in How do I integrate my mail inbox?.
Inbound email — inquiries by mail
The Inbound email card gives you a dedicated Univents address. Forward customer inquiries to it — or put the address on your website directly — and every message lands in your inquiry inbox automatically instead of getting lost in a mailbox.
Claude connections
Use the Claude connections card to connect your workspace to Claude. You can then ask about events, contacts, or documents and get work done from there without logging into Univents. The detail page lists every existing connection and lets you revoke each one individually.
API keys
Use the API keys card to create and manage keys for external integrations and your own automations.
- Click Create new key.
- Give the key a descriptive Name (e.g. "Claude Desktop", "n8n Workflow", or "DWH export").
- Under Permissions, pick the scopes you need — split per resource into Read and Write (e.g.
events:read,contacts:write). For pure data exports into a DWH/BI tool the Read scopes are enough;mcp:readis the AI / MCP access. Write does not imply read — each is selected separately. - Click Create. The full key is shown only once — copy it immediately using the copy icon.
- Keys that are no longer needed can be deactivated via Revoke or permanently removed using the trash icon.
Every permission in detail is covered in Manage API keys & MCP connections.
Accounting — DATEV, BMD, sevdesk and bexio
There are two routes into accounting: the file export (you download a CSV file and hand it on — the route for DATEV and BMD) and the direct transfer (you connect your account once, and every issued invoice moves across with a click from then on — the route for sevdesk and bexio, both currently in beta).
Use the DATEV card to export your outgoing invoices as DATEV journal entries (EXTF-CSV) — the format accountants in Germany and Austria expect for import into their firm software.
- Open the DATEV card and, under DATEV Settings, enter your accountant's details: Consultant Number, Client Number, Chart of Accounts (SKR03 or SKR04), and the default debtor and revenue accounts. Click Save Settings.
- If these details are still missing, Univents shows the DATEV settings missing notice at the top of the page — follow the link to fill them in.
- Once the settings are saved, choose the period you want (From/To) under Export Journal Entries and click Download DATEV CSV.
- Invoices already exported for the selected period are skipped automatically on the next export. To re-export — for example after a correction — enable Re-export: include already exported invoices.
Austrian businesses get the same route in the BMD format via the BMD card — details are in the BMD export article.
Use the sevdesk and bexio cards to connect your account once (an API token for sevdesk, a sign-in for bexio) and then transfer every issued invoice and your customer contacts with a click. The step-by-step guides are in How do I connect my sevdesk account? and Connect & use bexio.
For every settings field in detail, see the Accounting Exports & Integrations article.
REST API (data export to your DWH/BI)
Univents offers a regular REST API (v1) — built for continuous import of your workspace data into a data warehouse or BI tool (initial full pull + incremental delta sync). No MCP/AI required; this is the classic, structured route.
- Specification (public, retrievable without a key, importable straight into Postman/codegen):
- OpenAPI 3.1: https://univents.app/api/v1/openapi.json
- Interactive docs: https://univents.app/api/v1/docs
- Authentication: Bearer API key with Read scopes per resource (see above).
- Data streams: events, contacts & companies, locations (master data), plus inquiries, bookings + line items, and finance documents — quotes/invoices/delivery notes — including their line items (transaction data).
- Delta sync:
updated_sincefetches only changes; cursor pagination returns complete pages (dedupe byidif needed). Deleted records appear as tombstones (include_deleted=true) or in the dedicated/deleted-recordsstream. All timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC. Limit: 120 requests/minute per key.
For a running setup, contact support — we provide a key and add any missing fields on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
I can't find an integration — where should I look? If the category bar on the left is set to a specific category, you only see that category's cards. Click All or use the search field at the top to bring every integration back.
How do I get back from a detail page? Use the ← All integrations link in the top left of every detail page.
Can I connect sevdesk, bexio, BMD, DATEV, Lexware Office, or BuchhaltungsButler yet? DATEV, BMD, sevdesk, bexio, and Lexware Office are already available. Only BuchhaltungsButler is still marked Coming soon and cannot currently be connected — not even through support. Register your interest from the card and we will let you know when it goes live.
Is BMD a live connection? No. BMD is a CSV export — a file you pass on to your accounting, not a live connection between the two systems. sevdesk and bexio, on the other hand, are real connections: connect once, then transfer every invoice with a click.
Can I connect multiple calendars at the same time? Yes: one shared calendar for the whole workspace, and on top of that every account with admin rights can connect their own personal calendar.
What happens when a calendar or email connection expires? Univents shows the Connection expired — reconnect badge directly on the connection card. Click it to renew the sign-in; all existing settings (calendar selection, location assignments) are preserved.
Is my API key secure? Treat the key like a password. After creation, Univents displays it exactly once. If a key is ever compromised, revoke it immediately via Revoke and create a new one.
Can I export my data to my own DWH via the API? Yes. Use the REST API (see the section above) with a Read key. It is built for continuous full and delta export; the specification is public at https://univents.app/api/v1/openapi.json and imports straight into your tooling.
What exactly does the DATEV export include? Finalized outgoing invoices (no longer drafts) from the selected period, as journal entries in EXTF-CSV format — ready to import into your accountant's firm software. Field-by-field details are in the Accounting Exports & Integrations article.
The DATEV card says "From Growth" — why? The DATEV export is unlocked from the Growth plan onward. The plan badge tells you that on the card itself rather than after the click. If you open the card anyway, Univents shows you an upgrade notice instead of the export feature.
Can I show the overview to someone without a Univents login? Yes. The same overview is public at https://univents.app/integrationen — handy when you want to show your accountant or colleagues what Univents connects to.
