What does Merge do?
Merge handles third-party data access by giving teams a single unified API for reading and writing across customer-facing integrations. Its platform combines Merge Unified for product integrations, Merge Agent Handler for agentic tooling, and Merge Gateway for LLM routing and governance, so teams can build once and connect to many systems without stitching together each connector themselves. The observability layer adds sync status, issue detection, logs, and webhooks so integration problems surface early instead of after customers notice. At scale, Merge says it powers hundreds of integrations across thousands of pre-built tools and serves thousands of companies, including OpenAI, Perplexity AI, Drata, and Ramp. The platform covers categories like accounting, ATS, HRIS, CRM, file storage, ticketing, knowledge base, and chat, with support for SFTP and CSV report-based uploads. Merge also offers security and compliance controls such as multi- and single-tenant servers, field-level scopes, and audit trail features for teams that need tighter data minimization and governance.
Why use Merge?
- A single build can cover multiple integration categories, which reduces the maintenance burden of managing separate connectors.
- Observability features surface sync status, logs, and issue detection so teams can catch integration problems before customers do.
- Field-level scopes and selective sync help teams minimize data access without redesigning their integration layer.
- Support for SFTP and CSV report-based uploads extends coverage beyond standard API-only workflows.
- Merge's platform includes both customer-facing integrations and agentic tooling, so teams can support products and AI agents in one stack.
Who is Merge for?
- Product teams that need customer-facing integrations without building each connector from scratch.
- AI teams that need secure access to third-party tools for agents and workflows.
- Engineering teams that want observability and maintenance controls for live integrations.
- Security-conscious companies that need field-level scopes and compliance-oriented controls.
- Operations teams that need reliable syncs across HR, finance, CRM, and ticketing systems.
What are Merge's key features?
Data integrations
Connect to hundreds of customer-facing integrations and thousands of third-party tools, so your product can read and write external data without building each connector yourself.

What are Merge's use cases?
Product teams ship integrations
Product teams that need customer-facing integrations without building each connector from scratch use Merge to launch faster. They rely on Data integrations and Unified to expose HubSpot, ClickUp, and BambooHR connections through one API, so customers can connect tools without waiting on custom engineering for every new request.
AI agents access tools securely
AI teams that need secure access to third-party tools for agents and workflows use Merge to power actions across external systems. With Agentic tooling, Agent Handler, and secure access to thousands of third-party tools, they can let agents retrieve or write data while keeping control over what each workflow can touch.
Ops teams keep syncs reliable
Operations teams that need reliable syncs across HR, finance, CRM, and ticketing systems use Merge to keep records aligned. Integration Observability gives them sync status, logs, and issue detection, while Security and compliance helps them manage field-level access and reduce risky data exposure.
Engineering monitors live integrations
Engineering teams that want observability and maintenance controls for live integrations use Merge to spot problems before customers do. They use the Integration dashboard and Automated issue detection to track failures, inspect webhooks, and maintain hundreds of integrations without constant manual triage.
How does Merge work?
- Connect your first data source in the Integration dashboard and choose the platform you want to support, such as HubSpot, ClickUp, or BambooHR, to start a live integration.
- Map the fields you need with Unified, then apply Security and compliance controls like field-level scopes so each customer only shares the data your workflow requires.
- Use Agentic tooling or Gateway to let apps and agents read or write third-party data through Merge, instead of wiring each connector separately.
- Monitor sync status, logs, and webhooks in Integration Observability, and use Automated issue detection to catch broken connections before customers notice.
- Expand coverage with more integrations and keep them healthy through Merge maintains hundreds of integrations for you, so your team spends less time on maintenance and more on product work.

Editor's read
Check whether Launch's 3 production Linked Accounts are enough for your rollout, since the plan charges $65 per Linked Account after 10 total production accounts. If you need custom fields, field-level scopes, or custom sync frequencies, those sit on Professional rather than Launch.
