Pluga

What is Pluga?


Use Pluga to connect Asaas to other tools and automate processes without building your own integration.

Automations can send data to Asaas, such as when creating charges, or use Asaas information in spreadsheets, CRMs, ERPs, and other compatible tools.

How it works

Pluga automations are based on a trigger, which starts the flow, and an action, executed in the destination tool.

Some examples:

SourceAction
New sale in another toolCreate a charge in Asaas
Status change of a charge in AsaasSend the data to another tool
Charge received in AsaasRecord the data in a spreadsheet
Financial event in AsaasNotify a team in a compatible tool

The availability of each trigger, action, and field depends on the template offered by Pluga.

When to use Pluga or the API

NeedApproach
Automate an available flow without writing codePluga
Connect Asaas to a tool already supported by PlugaPluga
Create charges from spreadsheets, CRMs, or other systemsPluga, if a compatible template exists
Configure Split without building your own integrationPluga, when the template offers the feature
Implement specific business rulesAsaas API
Control queues, logs, retries, and idempotencyAsaas API
Process high volume with your own architectureAsaas API
Use features not available in Pluga templatesAsaas API

Before choosing Pluga, confirm that the connector has the trigger, action, and fields required for your operation.

Before creating an automation

You will need:

  • an active Asaas account;
  • a Pluga account;
  • access to the tool that will be connected;
  • permission to use an API key from the Asaas account;
  • a definition of the event that will start the automation;
  • a definition of the data that will be sent between the tools.
🚧

Attention

The API key allows operations to be performed on the Asaas account.

Store and use this credential securely. Avoid sharing it in open channels, public spreadsheets, messages, or places without access control.

Whenever possible, use an identifiable key for the integration, such as API Key - Pluga.

Data input and output

Asaas can act as the source or the destination of the automation.

DirectionExample
Input into AsaasCreate a charge from a sale, form, spreadsheet, or record from another system
Output from AsaasSend charge information to a spreadsheet, CRM, ERP, or communication tool

The required fields depend on the chosen automation.

📘

Important

The fields available for mapping may vary according to the automation template selected in Pluga.

Before activating the flow, check that all required fields for the desired action have been filled in correctly.

When the automation creates records in Asaas, use an identifier from the source, such as the order number or sale ID, whenever the template allows it. This makes reconciliation easier and helps identify reprocessing.
