Gingr says it provides API access, especially for businesses that need to connect it to other systems, and publishes version 1 API documentation. Our team builds the Volty connection from it, agreeing with you which owners, pets and reservations Volty may read. ### Can Volty tell an owner their dog's vaccines are expiring? If Volty can read the pet's vaccination records, a scheduled automation can send an approved WhatsApp template before a rabies or Bordetella record lapses, and Volty answers the owner's reply about uploading the new certificate. ### Can pet parents book boarding through Volty? Volty checks the dates against open boarding, flags any vaccine that lapses before check-in, and hands the request to your front desk with everything filled in. The desk enters the stay in Gingr and confirms kennel space, so Volty never writes a reservation itself. ### How much does it cost to connect Gingr with Volty?
