Partner Integration Overview

Welcome to the CHeKT Platform integration guide for technology partners. This documentation will help you integrate your monitoring services and event management systems with CHeKT.

Who is This For?

This track is designed for technology partners who:

• Provide monitoring and event management services
• Integrate with multiple security system providers
• Need to synchronize dealer and site data
• Want to ingest and process security events from CHeKT

What You'll Learn

In this partner track, you'll learn how to:

1. Authenticate - Set up M2M Token and OAuth authentication
2. Sync Resources - Keep dealer, site, and device data in sync
3. Ingest Events - Send security events to CHeKT for processing
4. Understand Policies - Learn critical arming experience policies
5. Build Integrations - Implement complete partner integrations

Key Concepts

Partner Relationship

As a partner, you:

• Provide monitoring services to dealers and their customers
• Do NOT have direct access to the CHeKT Dealer Portal
• Synchronize resource data (dealers, sites, devices) from your systems
• Send security events (alarms, status changes) to CHeKT for distribution

API Access

Partners use M2M Token + OAuth authentication to access:

• Partner APIs - Resource synchronization (dealers, sites, devices)
• Partner Event APIs - Event ingestion and management
