Creating WordPress-Teamwork link (API or plugin) is how you do it:

Teamwork is a powerful and complete software package. Combine it with WordPress, the world’s most popular CMS, to streamline your work even more. Read all about the Teamwork link for WordPress websites here.

Why integrate Teamwork with WordPress?

Organizations that start working with Teamwork once soon realize they can’t live without it. It eases communication between team members, provides a complete overview of work and contact moments, and stores all important data in one central location.

The great thing is that customers can have a hand in enriching the Teamwork database. The traditional way of collecting customer data was by gathering their information by phone or copying from completed Web forms. But with a direct link between Teamwork and WordPress, that manual work is a thing of the past. Customers, donors, suppliers, participants, guests or job applicants then put their data directly into your Teamwork database.

The benefits of this are multiple: it saves you time (and therefore money), it relieves your employees so they can focus on their main tasks, and it improves data quality. But more importantly, it will improve your communication with customers.

WordPress and Teamwork as a tool for efficiency

One of the applications of an integration of WordPress and Teamwork, is in the world of project management. Because how convenient would it be if such a link immediately put project data into Teamwork, including related documents and deadlines?

A good linkage enables two-way traffic. Not only does the website send data to Teamwork; it also retrieves data. Thanks to Teamwork and WordPress linking, you no longer have to work on website maintenance because updates in Teamwork are immediately on the website.

Do it yourself or outsource?

You can create a link between Teamwork and WordPress in several ways. For example, choose the Teamwork WordPress plugin or take advantage of the Teamwork API. Which of the methods is most suitable for your situation depends on several factors: the data you want to send back and forth, the complexity of the data stream, your budget, and the requirements regarding the WordPress site itself.

Obviously, this requires the necessary study and technical knowledge. In any case, if you have them in the house, this is going to take time. Especially when you first set up such an integration. To overcome frustrations and save time, it is nice when you can rely on an experienced and knowledgeable partner. Besides, of course, you also want to avoid a fine for unsafe data transmission.

Consider data protection

The General Data Protection Regulation requires organizations to send and store customers’ personal data securely. On pain of heavy fines, the Personal Data Authority monitors this. That makes this an additional consideration when integrating WordPress and Teamwork.

If you choose to outsource this project, also make sure that the Internet agency considers encrypted connections and secure databases. This ensures that your organization handles data responsibly and legally.
