Can Two Apps Connect from different entities?

[Rod]

Question: Is it possible to connect two apps together from different entities? My case: I have two companies that want their own app, but they work together as a contractor and a sub. I would like the contractor app to submit a work order within their own app that would show up in the sub app. And, if the business relationship changes it’s an easy disconnect. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Hi Rod
Yes it is possible. If both apps have the same source table you can use user settings or create a slice to display different views.

Unfortunately different tables…because it’s different entities.

Sure it’s possible: the two apps would need to share a table to pass information between them. The table needn’t be connected to either entity’s other data. This table acts like a mailbox: one entity delivers something to it, the other entity picks it up.

Hmm, So what both of you are suggesting is to create a table in the middle that is separate, that’s how it’s managed in case they part ways…

[Steve]

Correct!

Awesome, Thanks guys!!
