Looking to integrate an external tool with Roundcube – any pointers?

[Lynk004]

Hi all,

I've recently started using Roundcube and it's proving pretty handy for managing emails via the web. I've noticed there's quite a bit of scope for customisation and plugins, which is great for tailoring it to one's needs.
I've also come across platforms that offer loads of resources for startups and developers, like programmes, offers, and support for all sorts of tech tools. I'm wondering if there's anything similar specifically for Roundcube, or if anyone here uses services or plugins from those kinds of ecosystems to boost Roundcube's capabilities.
Specifically, I'm trying to hook up an external tool (think API or plugin) to improve the user experience, but I'm a bit lost on where to start or whether there are ready-made solutions out there.
Has anyone had a go at this sort of thing before? Any advice on where to find solid plugins or tips for building your own?

Cheers in advance!

I would need to understand more of the use case to recommend similar plugins or hooks to use. Roundcube ships with a number of plugins in the plugins directory so it would be a good idea to start there.

Here is the documentation around building a plugin:

• Plugin API
• Plugin Hooks
• JS Plugin Hooks (I don't think this list is complete)

Hi everyone,

I recently looked into integrating an external tool with Roundcube, and from my experience, it really depends on what you're trying to connect. I found that using plugins was the easiest way—there are quite a few community-made ones that support extra features. Also, making sure the tool supports IMAP or SMTP helped a lot. If you're using something like a CRM or task manager, check if it can sync with your email account directly. Happy to share more if anyone needs!
