Workplace app examples

Aurinko provides a backend API for single-page apps with a focus on workplace integrations and unified APIs. Aurinko is built to support workplace apps/addins/addons like Office 365 addins, MS Teams apps, Zoom/WebEx in-meeting apps. It will allow your webapp to authenticate a user using Office 365, Gmail, Salesforce,... oauth flow, and will manage a user session based on that id.

The benefits of using Aurinko as the backend are the following:

1. Pre-built backend API, openid-based user management is provided, supports Outlook's idToken.
2. Unified OAuth flows, and access token management. OAuth tokens never reside on the client-side.
3. Unified error handling.

2. Virtualized/unified CRM API to define unified data models specifically for your app needs. Currently supporting Salesforce, Sugar CRM, HubSpot, ...
