10 Integrations to Build with Deck

Companies today face an ecosystem dominated by fragmented portals, legacy systems, and critical user workflows locked behind logins. APIs are rare, documentation is nonexistent, and interfaces change constantly. Deck solves this by enabling secure, user permissioned automation that interacts with third party websites the same way a human would, except faster, more reliably, and at scale. Below are ten powerful integrations you can build with Deck, each with detailed workflows and real life examples of how these automations deliver value.

1. Rent Portal Automation (Real Estate)

Rent portals such as Yardi, AppFolio, ClickPay, and RealPage represent one of the most fragmented ecosystems online. Without APIs and with constantly changing UIs, even simple tasks like checking balances or paying rent become friction points. Deck enables a seamless, automated experience by authenticating into a tenant’s rent portal, reading their due balance, retrieving their unit details, and submitting a payment on their behalf using a stored payment method or a newly added card.

Example:
A renter using a financial app wants to set up automatic rent payments. Once they give permission, Deck logs into their AppFolio account at the start of each month, checks the exact amount due, verifies that the payment method on file is valid, and then submits the payment. After receiving a confirmation number, Deck sends it back to the app to notify the user. What once required manual login and repetitive data entry now happens automatically and reliably, even if the portal changes overnight.

2. Utility Billing Integration (Energy, Water, Telecom)

Utility providers such as PG&E, ConEd, Comcast, and local municipal systems each maintain their own billing portals with completely different interfaces and authentication methods. With Deck, companies can offer a unified bill pay or budgeting experience by automating access to these systems, retrieving billing details, and submitting payments.

Example:
A budgeting app helps users avoid late fees by automatically paying their essential bills. After a user links their electric provider, Deck logs into the provider’s website, navigates to the billing section, downloads the latest statement, extracts the amount due, and submits the payment using the user’s saved bank account. If the portal requires a two factor code via email or SMS, Deck handles that in real time. The user simply receives a push notification confirming their bill was paid with no effort on their part.

3. Insurance Provider Integration

Insurance carriers typically lack APIs and instead rely on member portals filled with vital information such as coverage details, premiums, renewal dates, and claim history. Deck can authenticate into these portals and retrieve policy information or submit key actions such as premium payments and form uploads.

Example:
A fintech lender wants to verify that a borrower has active auto insurance. Instead of asking the user to download and upload documents manually, Deck logs into the borrower’s insurance portal, retrieves the policy ID, confirms the coverage is active, downloads the insurance card PDF, and uploads it to the lender. The entire verification process, which once took hours or days of back and forth emails, completes in seconds.

4. Government and Public Sector Portal Integration (DMV, Tax, Permits)

Government systems such as state DMVs, city permitting portals, and tax platforms often run on outdated interfaces, require complex authentication, and provide no developer APIs. Deck can automate renewals, retrieve official documents, and submit forms by navigating these systems in the same way a human would.

Example:
A compliance platform helps gig workers stay on top of vehicle registration. When renewal season arrives, Deck logs into the DMV portal using the user’s credentials, finds the registration renewal section, pre fills all required fields, uploads insurance documents, and pays the renewal fee. Once the DMV issues a digital receipt, Deck captures it and provides it back to the compliance app. The gig worker avoids hours spent navigating government portals, and the platform keeps all drivers compliant without manual work.

5. HR and Payroll System Integration

Payroll systems contain pay stubs, income data, tax forms, and employment verification. These are critical inputs for lending, housing applications, and financial planning. Deck enables secure, user directed automation inside these portals to fetch documents or update profile information.

Example:
A lending application must verify a borrower’s income. With the borrower’s consent, Deck logs into their ADP account, navigates to the pay history section, downloads the last six pay stubs, parses wage details such as base pay and bonuses, and returns structured data to the lender. If forms such as W 2s or 1099s are required, Deck retrieves those as well. The lender receives verified data instantly without requiring manual uploads or employer HR involvement.

6. Healthcare Portal and EMR Integration

Patient portals allow users to view appointment history, pay medical bills, download visit summaries, and track prescriptions. This ecosystem is fragmented across providers and networks. Deck automates navigation inside these portals to collect key medical information or streamline billing.

Example:
A healthcare payments platform wants to simplify medical bill management. When a bill becomes available, Deck logs into the provider portal, finds the outstanding balance, downloads the itemized statement, and pays it using the user’s chosen payment method. After paying, it retrieves the receipt and updates the payment status inside the platform. The patient no longer has to juggle multiple logins for each provider and instead sees a unified list of bills inside the app.

7. E Commerce and Marketplace Seller Portal Integration

Platforms such as Amazon Seller Central, Etsy, Shopify admin, and niche marketplace dashboards often require merchants to complete multi step onboarding tasks, update product listings, or retrieve payout information. Deck automates these workflows to streamline merchant operations and onboarding.

Example:
A marketplace aggregator wants to onboard new sellers quickly. After a merchant signs up, Deck logs into their Amazon Seller Central dashboard, navigates to the Tax Information Interview section, fills out business details, submits required documents, and verifies that the account is active. It then retrieves payout history by navigating to the payments section. The entire onboarding process becomes fast and error free.

8. Travel and Hospitality Portal Integration

Travel portals including airline sites, hotel chains, and loyalty programs often lock reservation and reward information behind user logins. Deck can authenticate into these portals to retrieve reservation histories, verify traveler details, check loyalty balances, or complete check in procedures.

Example:
A travel rewards app wants to show loyalty status for all major programs. With the user’s permission, Deck logs into their United Airlines, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hilton Honors accounts. It extracts loyalty balances, tier status, upcoming trips, and any expiring points. When the traveler is eligible for a check in, Deck completes the check in flow, selects the preferred seat, and retrieves the boarding pass for the app.

9. Healthcare and Benefits Enrollment Integration

Benefits and employee enrollment portals often require complex sequences of form fills, document uploads, eligibility checks, and plan selections. Deck automates these enrollment flows from start to finish.

Example:
During open enrollment, a benefits platform uses Deck to complete the entire plan selection process. When a user chooses a health plan in the app, Deck logs into the employer’s enrollment portal, completes the multi step enrollment path, enters dependent information, uploads identification documents, and submits the final enrollment. The user sees a modern interface, and Deck handles the legacy system underneath.

10. Point of Sale Admin Portal Integration

Point of sale systems require merchants to complete configuration steps to activate partner integrations, such as enabling payment methods or loyalty modules. Deck automates these admin sequences and replaces long instruction PDFs with a seamless one click experience.

Example:
A rewards platform wants to activate its integration inside a merchant’s Toast account. Normally, the merchant must navigate through a complex hierarchy of admin pages to toggle specific settings. With Deck, the merchant approves the connection once, after which Deck logs into Toast, finds the Integrations menu, activates the appropriate partner module, updates location settings, and confirms that the integration is live. The entire process completes automatically without any merchant intervention.
