Paragon

Paragon is an embedded iPaaS that lets SaaS companies build native, in-app integrations for their customers. Developers configure integrations, Managed Sync pipelines, Workflows, and ActionKit tools in Paragon, then embed them behind a Connect Portal so each of their end customers (Connected Users) can authenticate their own third-party accounts. Requests are made on behalf of Connected Users using a Paragon User Token - an RS256-signed JWT - across a REST Connect/SDK API (api.useparagon.com), a Workflows API, an ActionKit tool-calling API for AI agents (actionkit.useparagon.com), and a Proxy API (proxy.useparagon.com) that forwards requests to third-party providers. Paragon is a B2B, contact-sales product.

Paragon publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including ActionKit API, Connect API, Proxy API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Embedded iPaaS, Integration, Embedded Integrations, Native Integrations, and Workflow-Automation.

Paragon’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.
