A transformer is the recommended way to integrate into the ZIQNI system. This integration ensures there will be no modifications necessary to the message formats in the user's backend systems.  The ZIQNI transformers will allow messages to be sent in the users' current format and will transform the message into a format that will be accepted by the ZIQNI API. 


The information below provides an overview of how to create a transformer. To access the API for transformers please click here.
