# Overview

Missive provides a comprehensive suite of developer tools designed to empower businesses to fully customize and enhance their experience.

## Rest API

Use the Rest API to enrich Missive conversations with content from anywhere: commits from GitHub, transactions from Stripe, exceptions from Rollbar, events from your own servers.

Additionally, you can automate various tasks, including the creation and sending of drafts, synchronization of contacts, and more.

Example use cases:

* GitHub and Heroku notifications merged in a single conversation
* Developer notifications automatically added to Missive via the API

## UI / iFrame integrations

UI/iFrame integrations let you customize the interface and connect your own data or backend systems. Build custom panels that display your data and interact with Missive using the JavaScript API.
