**APIs profiled:** 15

CA Flowdock was a team chat and shared team-inbox product originally founded as Flowdock in Helsinki / Tampere, Finland (Nodeta Oy spin-off, ~2010), acquired by CA Technologies in 2013, and operated under Broadcom after Broadcom's 2018 acquisition of CA. The hosted service and all public APIs (REST, Push, Streaming, SCIM) were discontinued on August 15, 2023. Broadcom's sunset notice directed customers to Microsoft Teams or Slack as successor products. This profile is an archival record assembled from the public api-docs repository and archived snapshots of the developer portal.
