Celigo 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Smart iPaaS Integrations

As businesses grow, so do their tech stacks—CRM systems, ERPs, eCommerce platforms, and support tools all need to talk to each other. Enter Celigo, a powerful Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) that helps businesses connect apps, automate workflows, and scale without increasing manual work.

In this beginner’s guide, we’ll break down what Celigo is, how it works, and why it’s a smart choice for companies looking to simplify integration and automation.


What Is Celigo?

Celigo is a modern iPaaS platform designed for both technical and non-technical users. It offers pre-built integrations, called Integration Apps, and tools to build custom workflows across your enterprise applications.

Whether you’re using NetSuite, Shopify, Salesforce, or Zendesk, Celigo helps connect these platforms with drag-and-drop simplicity and scalable logic.

  • Save development time with pre-built templates and reusable logic.

  • Increase visibility into system performance with dashboards and logs.
