# Use the Filestage API to improve your team's workflow

Accomplish all your automation goals by using the Filestage API

> **Success:** The Filestage API is available on our **Business** and **Enterprise** plans.
> Please find more information on our [**pricing page**](https://filestage.io/pricing/).

_The Filestage API allows engineers and developers on your team to automate certain actions involving Filestage and the other tools that you work with. Filestage does not currently provide an MCP server or an official MCP-based way to connect Filestage to an AI assistant. For automation and integrations, you can use the REST API and webhooks._

## Benefits of using an API

The Filestage API can improve your team’s workflow and overall efficiency. 

**By using the API, you can:**

✅Automate data transfer between Filestage and other systems, ensuring consistent data as well as adhering to company guidelines

✅Replace manual tasks involving other tools with automated actions to save time and reduce errors

## Examples

Filestage users who are already using the API are accomplishing their goals of improving their workflow by getting projects started, eliminating human error, and moving a project forward. 

In this section, we will discuss a couple of goals these teams are accomplishing with the API. However, the possibilities of using an API are endless.

### Create an asset in Filestage based on a trigger in a different system

An agency using the API has improved its project kick-off process by using its briefing request tool and the Filestage API.

Once a customer submits their briefing request form, a project is automatically created in Filestage, and the briefing is automatically uploaded to the first reviewer group of that new project.

From there, the agency begins working directly with its client in Filestage.

### Create a new reviewer group and automatically add email addresses 

Another Filestage user uses the API to create new reviewer groups based on the different pipeline stages in their CRM. 

By using the API and their CRM, a new reviewer group is automatically created, and it auto-invites the different stakeholders based on the emails within the CRM.

From there, the Filestage user works on the project within Filestage.
