Why Integrate TangoCard with Emergent?

Building custom applications around TangoCard data typically requires setting up REST API clients, managing authentication with platform credentials, implementing order creation and tracking logic, coordinating multi-system reward triggers, handling recipient data synchronization, managing budget tracking across programs, and creating user interfaces. Each custom rewards tool can quickly become a complex technical project requiring ongoing maintenance and specialized expertise in both incentive program management and API development.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe the rewards program app or incentive workflow you want and the order and recipient data you need. Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, API handlers, data models, and integrations.

• Rewards-aware intelligence: Emergent understands TangoCard's API structures, reward catalog options, order management patterns, authentication methods, and redemption tracking, helping you build accurate incentive delivery and performance measurement systems.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for organizations with sensitive reward recipient data, budget tracking requirements, and compliance needs.

• Real-time workflows: API calls for order creation, polling for redemption status, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability across reward delivery, recipient management, and cross-tool orchestrations.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine TangoCard with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets, Qualtrics, and Mailchimp to build complete systems such as employee recognition platforms, customer loyalty hubs, survey incentive managers, and automated sales performance reward programs.

Step 5: Configure Real-Time and Scheduled Flows

Set up event triggers from connected systems (sales closed, survey completed, milestone achieved), configure scheduled reward campaigns for anniversaries or holidays, define API calls for instant reward delivery, or create on-demand actions such as manager-initiated spot bonuses or bulk recognition sends.

Step 6: Test and Preview

Run test API calls in sandbox environment, validate order creation and email delivery, preview reward selection pages with custom branding, verify recipient data accuracy, check logs, and automatically handle authentication and rate limits.
