External API

The external API functionality allows clients to call their own Rest APIs to accomplish tasks like verifying an Applicant's eligibility for a program or pre-populating fields on a form. This requires web services to be set up in GrantsConnect, followed by the Grant Manager creating external API form fields to call these services and respond appropriately based on the configuration. These fields can then be used in the forms that make up a program's applications.
