What It Does

External Management provides a bridge between LogMeal’s API and external systems such as healthcare software, nutrition dashboards, or enterprise apps. It allows syncing of user profiles, body measurements, meal data, and nutrition reports automatically or on demand. This feature is especially valuable for large organizations that manage multiple users or need to keep their systems up to date with LogMeal data.

When to Use It / Outcomes

• You need to connect LogMeal with an external system (e.g., EHR, corporate dashboard, wellness app).
• You want to synchronize user and intake data automatically between platforms.
• You want to push or pull data for analysis, visualization, or compliance reporting.
• You want to create user accounts with permissions to manage and visualize the intakes information submitted by end-users.
• Output: JSON confirming data transfers, synchronization status, and optionally detailed sync logs.

Feature-Specific Details

• Direction: supports both push (LogMeal → external system) and pull (external system → LogMeal) models.
• Authentication: requires APICompany or APIUserManager tokens for secure transfers.
• Customization: external endpoints and fields can be mapped to match your system’s schema using the Custom Plan.
• Security: all data exchanges are encrypted and rate-limited to protect sensitive information.
