How each part works

What the Developer API is

The Developer API lets your own product use Dbrij: embed meetings and chat, and let people sign in with Dbrij. Everything belongs to your normal Dbrij account. Email, SMS, search and support have APIs of their own, in Send, Ping, Search and Resolve.

Good to know

  • Usage and billing in the Developer menu shows what your calls cost.
  • Sign in with Dbrij lets your users sign in to your product with their Dbrij account.

Dbrij is Nigeria’s company operating system: the first Nigerian built platform to put team chat, video meetings, email, HR, tax compliant payroll, customer support, marketing, analytics and cloud hosting in one product on one subscription.
