Tooon API · ConnectEarly access open

Build your own service on top of Tooon.

The part of the Tooon API for building services for members. Deliver members' digital business cards, and tools for each member's own business, inside your service's own screens. Your service up front, Tooon behind it.

Pricing is separate from Tooon plans. Development is free; production starts at ¥29,800/month.

What's included

Starting with members’ digital business cards.

We start with member sign-up and digital business cards, then extend to tools for members' own businesses step by step. During development, you can try every feature with test members.

  • Member sign-up and removalFirst to ship

    Add members by your service's member ID. Removal and suspension through the API too.

  • Members' digital business cardsFirst to ship

    Edit drafts, publish the version the member confirmed, and unpublish. Public IDs are per service.

  • Members' business accountsTry in development

    One member can run several businesses, each with its own name and work.

  • Clients, projects and tasksIn the works

    Members manage clients, jobs and tasks as their own business.

  • Partners, orders and invoicesTry in development

    Orders to contractors and incoming invoices, in the member's own name.

  • The operator's own businessTooon API

    Your own business stays on the Tooon API as before, never mixed with members' businesses.

How it works

Your service up front, Tooon behind it.

Members use it while logged in to the service they already use. No Tooon account or app needed. Screens, log-in and notifications all stay your service's own.

Examples

If your service has members, Connect fits well.

Member screens and log-in stay your service's own. Members' business cards and the work of their own businesses are left to Tooon.

Where you run it

One place to run each service.

“Connect” appears in Tooon's sidebar, with a Connect workspace for each service. Members, keys and staff are managed apart from your original workspace. Staff don't count toward your Tooon plan's people.

Getting started

Development is free, start right away.

Create a service and use it in development first, with up to 100 members and 100 business accounts. Check it as you build, then apply for production when you're ready. Production needs approval.

Pricing

Pricing separate from Tooon plans.

Connect is priced per service, whatever Tooon plan the workspace running it is on.

First to adopt

Business cards for CO-DEJIMA members.

The first to adopt it is CO-DEJIMA, run by Tooon Inc. We're preparing for CO-DEJIMA members to create and publish their own digital business cards from CO-DEJIMA's member pages. Member details stay with CO-DEJIMA; Tooon handles the business card system.

Members

Members stay apart from your staff.

Members belong to the service's Connect workspace as “members”. They aren't Tooon invited members or employees, don't appear in your company's public team list, and don't add to your Tooon plan's people.

Ownership

Your business and members’ businesses, apart.

The operator's business belongs to the operator; a member's business belongs to the member. The operator's name or bank account never appears on a member's invoice, and a key can't reach other services' or the operator's data.

Confirmation

Important steps wait for the member to confirm.

For steps that need a person to confirm, like publishing a card, only the version the member confirmed on your service's screen is carried out. If the content changed after they confirmed, Tooon won't do it.

Inside the Tooon API

For your own business, and for your members.

The same Tooon API, used two ways: connecting your own business to other tools, and, with Connect, bringing Tooon's features to each member of your service. Keys and data are kept apart for each.
