Retrieve unique identifiers for integrations
Learn how to retrieve the unique identifiers of different features on the SafetyCulture web app with ease.
From time to time, you may need to retrieve the unique identifier of specific documents or profiles to integrate with SafetyCulture. Whilst you can always refer to our API documentation on how to retrieve unique identifiers via API requests, we understand that not everyone who's tasked with building integrations is comfortable with such methods.
What you'll need
Take note
Depending on the unique identifier you are trying to retrieve, you may need document access or organization permissions to proceed.
While it's possible to retrieve unique identifiers regardless of your organization's plan, you'll need the Premium Plan or Enterprise Plan to use integrations.
