Description

In Tiki it is not possible to create tracker items automatically from a remote system. There is no way to include/connect Tiki to a external system.
It would be good if Tiki could be used as frontend and/or database to some automation via M2M (machine to machine) communication.

As example, in Sharepoint you can add list-items via a https-call (API-call). In my environment i used Sharepoint as database and frontend to manage and document backups, which is legally mandatory for us. For that i use some Powershell scripts that do the backups and create a list entry in a Sharepoint list via a API call (https with authentication).
This is also relevant if you like to have a frontend for e.g. (hardware) production and distribution where you can use a barcode scanner that fires a API-call to Wiki to list a parcel in a Tiki tracker.
And so on, and so on, the usage cases are really unlimited and it's a very important function, heavily used in e.g. big Sharepoint Intranet applications.
