Everything you need to integrate, build, and learn.
Integrations, developer docs, a blog, and a working glossary for the record based DMS that files your documents for you.
Connect Abscode to your existing stack
Storage backends, accounting tools, identity providers, ERPs, and notification channels. Abscode files documents as records and still plays nicely with the tools your team already uses.
Storage backends
Google Drive · Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint · AWS S3 · Azure Blob · on-prem NAS. Bring your own storage on the Enterprise tier so documents stay in your account.
Accounting + ERP
Integrate via our REST API, available from the Professional plan.
Identity + SSO
Google Workspace · Microsoft Entra ID · Okta · custom SAML. RBAC and MFA available as you scale, priced on usage rather than per user.
Notifications
Email notifications. Routed by approval stage and user role when you turn workflows on.
Mobile capture
Native iOS and Android apps for capturing documents, approving on the go, and running field-team workflows. Offline-capable with sync.
Custom integrations
REST API available from the Professional tier. Custom integration scoping handled by our team for Business and Enterprise.
Build on top of Abscode
REST API, API reference, and scripting hooks: everything you need to extend a DMS that files documents for you.
Developer documentation is coming soon
API reference, scripting examples, and SDK quickstarts will publish alongside our V1 launch. In the meantime, book a technical demo and we will walk through the API surface with your team.
Notes from the field
Practical guides on record based document management, automatic classification, OCR search, and the day-to-day reality of running a paper-heavy business.
The blog launches with the platform
First posts will cover: why a record based DMS beats folders and files, how automatic document classification files things for you, building maker-checker approvals with AI, and moving off shared drives. Want to be notified? Sign up and tick the newsletter checkbox.
Document management terms, defined
Plain-English definitions of the terms that show up in DMS specs, audit reports, and compliance requirements.
Record based DMS
A document management system that organises documents as structured records instead of folders and files. Each record carries a type and fields, so the system knows what a document is, files it for you, and makes it searchable without manual sorting.
Automatic document classification
The system reads an incoming document, recognises what kind it is (invoice, PO, contract), and files it as the right record type with the right fields. It replaces the manual step of naming files and dragging them into folders.
Maker-checker
An optional approval workflow where one person creates or edits a record (the maker) and a different person approves it (the checker). Abscode lets you build these workflows with AI, and they map to ISO 9001, NABH, RBI Master Direction, and ICAI expectations for compliance-led changes.
Audit trail
A complete, tamper-evident log of every action taken on a record: who created it, who viewed it, who edited it, who approved it, and when. Required by most regulators for documents used in compliance, claims, lending, and patient care.
Bring-your-own-storage (BYO)
An architecture where the DMS provides records, workflow, search, and audit but the documents themselves live in the customer's own storage account (Google Drive, OneDrive, S3, etc.). Available on the Enterprise tier so the vendor never owns your data.
Retention policy
A rule defining how long a record (or its audit log) must be kept before deletion. Driven by regulator requirements (e.g. 7 years for GST records under Indian Income Tax Act) and contractual obligations.
RBAC (role-based access control)
A permission model where users are assigned roles (e.g. clerk, manager, auditor) and roles have specific record-action rights. Lets you scale access without managing per-user permissions on every document.
OCR search
Optical character recognition turns an image of text (a scanned page, a phone photo) into machine-readable text, so records become fully searchable. In Abscode it is a built-in part of how documents are indexed, not a separate add-on.
Bulk digitization
Scanning and importing large batches of existing paper documents in one pass, then letting the system classify and file them as records. Available from the Professional tier upward for teams moving an existing archive onto Abscode.

Data protection laws: India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. All require specific controls on document access, storage location, retention, and breach notification.
