Overview
Every customer is different. Nobly Insight is designed so administrators can extend behaviour without forking the platform or writing plug-ins that block upgrades. Two extension surfaces are available out of the box: a managed script engine for custom logic, and a complete REST API for system integrations.The script engine
A managed, sandboxed environment for safely running customer-defined Python scripts that extend the platform.| Property | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Versioned scripts | Every change is a new version; publish, roll back, or pin specific versions |
| Automatic validation | Syntax, contract, and safety checks run before a script can be published |
| Sandboxed execution | Strict timeouts and memory limits — scripts cannot break out of their boundary |
| Encrypted secrets vault | Scripts call external systems without exposing credentials to script authors |
| Full audit logging | Every script run is logged with who triggered it and the result |
Where scripts plug in
| Trigger | Use cases |
|---|---|
| External autofill | Look up customer or contract data from a CRM/ERP/master-data system when a user types in a metadata field |
| Form autofill | When one field on a form changes, automatically calculate or look up the values of other fields |
| Form actions | Power custom buttons — generate documents, post to external APIs, send e-mails, create related records |
| Event hooks | React in the background to document events (document.created, document.updated, and more) — feed downstream systems, run validations, send notifications |
Calling external systems safely
Scripts can call any external HTTPS API (identity providers, CRM, ERP, SMS gateways, and so on) through a managed HTTP client with logging, timeouts, and request-size limits — all without exposing infrastructure credentials to script authors.REST API
The full platform is exposed as a versioned REST API so other applications can:- Upload, retrieve, update, and search documents
- Read and write business object data
- Trigger workflow actions
- Manage users, groups, and configuration
- Subscribe to lifecycle events
