Integrating Altinn Apps

How to override or enrich the automatic Dialogporten integration from your app

Introduction

Altinn Apps are automatically synchronized with Dialogporten. Every time a new instance is created, the dialog service will create or update a corresponding dialog that is visible to the end user in Altinn Inbox (“arbeidsflate”). This guide explains how the default behaviour can be adjusted and how you can take full control over the integration if needed.

Automatic dialog synchronization

By default, the synchronization is enabled for all applications. Updates to the instance, such as status changes, added activities or attachments, will be reflected in Dialogporten. The behaviour can be tuned in the app settings. See the reference information linked below for details.

Using the Dialogporten WebAPI SDK

Some scenarios require more control than the automatic synchronization offers. The Dialogporten WebAPI SDK gives your application programmatic access to Dialogporten so you can create and update dialogs yourself. This enables fine-grained handling of activities, transmissions and synchronization with Altinn Inbox.
