Custom integrations.
Connect any system, protocol, or data source - bidirectional, real-time + without middleware overhead.

CAPABILITY OVERVIEW
Build integrations to anything.
Rayven's custom integration layer covers the full range of inbound and outbound connectivity your stack requires. Every integration runs as a node in the visual workflow builder - no separate integration layer, no additional vendors.
Inbound connections include:
-
HTTP endpoints (POST)
-
REST APIs (GET, POST + PATCH)
-
SQL queries vs. MySQL or MSSQL
-
FTP, FTPS + SFTP file ingestion
-
AWS S3 bucket polling
-
AWS Kinesis stream ingestion
-
AMQP message queue consumption
Inbound connections include:
-
Output to HTTP (webhook)
-
API writes
-
FTP file outputs
-
Email + SMS
-
Direct writes to Modbus or MQTT endpointstion

KEY CAPABILITIES
What Custom Integrations give you.

HTTP + REST API nodes, both directions
Ingest via POST to a Rayven-hosted endpoint, or pull from external systems via GET/POST/PATCH. Supports JSON and XML. Bearer token authentication built-in.

SQL read + write against live databases
Execute queries against MySQL or MSSQL using a configured connection string. Supports reads, writes, custom queries + auto-insertion of payload data into fields.

File ingestion via FTP, FTPS, SFTP + S3
Pull files from FTP/FTPS/SFTP folders or AWS S3 buckets on a configurable schedule. Handles JSON, CSV, XML + compressed formats with configurable encoding.

Outbound webhooks + write nodes
Push workflow data to any external system via HTTP POST, write to FTP destinations, or trigger downstream APIs. Supports JSON, XML, and String output formats.

AWS Kinesis streaming ingestion
Ingest high-volume event streams from AWS Kinesis with configurable polling intervals and UID mapping from a nominated JSON key.

AMQP message queue connectivity
Consume messages from AMQP-compliant brokers. Useful for event-driven architectures where data arrives asynchronously from queue-based systems.
HOW IT CONNECTS: EXPLAINER
Where Custom Integrations fit in the Rayven Platform stack.
Custom integration nodes sit within the integration layer of the platform + act as the first point of contact for all data.
Once ingested via Rayven's custom integrations, data flows into:
-
The Data Layer for storage, transformation + aggregation
-
The Execution Layer for workflow logic, AI processing + automated actions
-
Back out via outbound nodes to source or downstream systems
The entire flow runs within one platform. No middleware. No additional vendors. No handoffs.
USE CASES
How Custom Integrations gets used.
Connecting industrial OT assets with no standard API
A site runs equipment from multiple vendors with no compatible APIs. Rayven's Dynamic Integration Node connects each asset by configuration, mapping telemetry to a unified schema per UID. Data flows into the Execution Layer, triggering threshold alerts + feeding a live operations dashboard - without any custom development.

Legacy ERP data into real-time BI - no warehouse required
An SQL node polls a production MSSQL database on a five-minute trigger. A Conditional Filter removes unchanged rows, a JavaScript node remaps fields, and clean records write to Cassandra. A Calculate Value node aggregates by team label and feeds a live dashboard updating every 30 seconds - no data warehouse, no manual export.

Partner delivering a white-label data portal for a client with legacy systems
A custom script extracts nightly exports from a client's on-premise ERP with no API access. Data is transformed + loaded into a Rayven pipeline, feeding a branded portal under the partner's own domain. The client sees their own product. Rayven is invisible.

Rayven Custom Integrations FAQs:
Pre-built connectors are configured for specific software products - HubSpot, Xero, SAP + others. The Dynamic Integration Node is for systems without a standard API - industrial devices, legacy databases, machinery + proprietary hardware. It connects by configuration in the workflow builder, without coding.
When a system cannot be reached by a pre-built connector, standard protocol node, or the Dynamic Integration Node. Typically: genuinely proprietary protocols, unusual file structures, or legacy assets with no data output. Rayven's team builds and deploys the script - you don't need to write it yourself.
Yes. Outbound nodes sit at the end of any workflow - Output to HTTP, API write, FTP output, SQL write, Output to Modbus + MQTT. Ingest, process, act, write back - all within one platform.
All standard formats - JSON, XML, CSV, String, compressed files - plus binary and proprietary structures via custom scripts. Data is normalised on ingestion so downstream workflow nodes always work with a consistent schema.
In practice, no. The combination of pre-built connectors, standard protocol nodes, the Dynamic Integration Node, and custom scripting covers every integration scenario we have encountered. If your system has data, there is a path in.
The Dynamic Integration Node connects by configuration - no code written. It covers devices, databases + machinery that have a known interface but no standard API. Custom scripts go a step further, enabling connection to systems with no usable interface at all.
Yes. A single workflow can ingest from an MSSQL database, a Modbus-connected PLC, an HTTP API, and a file drop simultaneously. All data is normalised per UID and flows through the same pipeline. IT/OT convergence is a native capability, not an add-on.
Scripts are maintained by Rayven's team as part of your ongoing service arrangement. If a source system changes its structure or output, we update the script. This is included in your support agreement - you are not responsible for maintaining integration code.
For standard protocol + Dynamic Integration Node connections, typically within hours to days of configuration. For custom scripts, most are live within one to two weeks. Our platform-first approach means we are not starting from scratch.
Both. The workflow builder's low-code nodes are configurable by any technically proficient user. For custom scripts, Rayven's team handles development + deployment. As your team's confidence grows, we can hand over ownership of any integration at any point.
