Home / Product / Protocol services

Connect through standards

Let existing tools reach the product without making every client Daptin-specific.

Use APIs, feeds, WebSockets, mail, FTP, and scoped DAV-style access where those established interfaces fit the experience.

One backend can meet several kinds of client

03Keep boundaries visibleEvaluate each protocol's exact access and compatibility scope.

Why it matters

Interoperability means meeting useful clients without pretending every interface is identical.

A mobile app needs an API. A dashboard benefits from live events. A reader wants RSS. A mail client speaks IMAP. A publishing tool may use FTP. Forcing them all through a proprietary SDK creates work and lock-in.

Daptin exposes several established interfaces over connected application services. Each one has its own strengths and scope, but they draw from the same wider world of records, accounts, files, certificates, and operations.

The product can therefore meet people in familiar tools while keeping exact behavior and security boundaries documented per protocol.

Avoid one mandatory client stack

Use ordinary HTTP, GraphQL, feeds, WebSockets, and compatible protocol tools.

Match the interface to the job

Choose live delivery for change, mail for communication, or file protocols for content management.

Keep product context central

Let standards reach Daptin capabilities rather than building isolated protocol servers.

How it fits

Part of one connected backend.

Protocol services does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.

Step 1Identify

Choose the person, tool, or service that needs access.

Step 2Select

Use the interface that matches its workflow.

Step 3Authorize

Apply the supported identity and access boundary for that path.

Step 4Connect

Read, change, receive, publish, or transfer product information.

What it enables

Use it in products people recognize.

Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.

Multi-channel product

Serve web and mobile APIs, live dashboards, and public feeds.

Mail-enabled operations

Combine stored messages with application actions and IMAP access.

Content publishing

Use sites, storage, HTTPS, FTP, and scoped DAV clients together.

Connected by design

Build the next part without starting over.

These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes protocol services more useful.

Know the boundary

What Daptin leaves in your hands.

A protocol name is not a universal compatibility guarantee. Review each service's supported operations, authentication, TLS, permission reuse, network exposure, and client-specific behavior.
