REST/HTTPS integrations for M-Files

Keep systems in perfect sync using REST APIs — securely, reliably, and without complex coding.

The challenge with integrations

Direct database access isn’t always an option — many clients prefer a safer, API-first approach that minimizes risk and keeps systems protected.

But building and maintaining integrations through REST APIs usually requires significant development effort — handling authentication, error logic, payload formatting, data mapping, and more.

For most teams, this means:

  • Higher development costs per integration
  • Longer implementation and testing cycles
  • More effort spent on maintenance across environments

And when you’re supporting multiple clients or vaults? Scaling becomes a real challenge.

Full HTTP integration for M-Files. No complex coding.

With Extension Kit Core and Extension Kit REST Object Type, you can easily build seamless integrations between M-Files and any REST-compatible system without complex custom coding.

Trigger outbound HTTP calls (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) from M-Files based on events like object creation, modification, state change, or deletion, or run them on a schedule.

Use it to:

  • Fetch external data or documents
  • Enrich M-Files metadata with real-time information
  • Send data or notifications to third-party systems

  • Explore Extension Kit Core

    Expose M-Files objects as secure, RESTful endpoints so external systems can push data into M-Files without needing direct database access.

    Use it to:

  • Create or update M-Files objects from an external database
  • Map incoming JSON or XML responses to M-Files properties
  • Allow external systems to sync data with M-Files in real time

  • Explore Extension Kit REST Object Type

    Use cases

    Whenever Event or Contact object types are created or modified in M-Files, the information is sent to the Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, which synchronizes data with the end-user's calendar/contacts folder.

    See the configuration

    Use REST OT to expose M-Files as an API and allow external systems to push user data directly to M-Files.




    See the configuration

    M-Files supports Adobe Sign and DocuSign. Use HTTP Integration to send documents to any other digital signing solution, such as mSign.



    Learn more about the use case

    A customer wants to have all user data created in O365 whenever it is created in M-Files. Push contact data from M-Files to Office 365 using HTTP calls.

    Use HTTP Integration to call SOAP services and map response data (e.g., a city name) to M-Files properties — even when M-Files doesn't natively support SOAP.
