Beamer
Add Beamer to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Beamer publishes product changelogs and in-app announcements, and its REST API at api.getbeamer.com/v0 authenticates with a Beamer-Api-Key header rather than a bearer token. The awkward part of POST /v0/posts is that title and content are arrays, not strings: you pass a language array and matching arrays of titles and bodies, indexed positionally, so a mismatch silently publishes a post with the wrong text against a locale. Posts carry a category such as new, improvement or fix, which is what drives the coloured labels in the widget, and they can be scheduled ahead by setting the publish date. Reader engagement comes back as comments and reactions on a post, and feature requests are a separate collection with their own votes and comments. This sits closest to posts and comments; Beamer has no pages in the usual sense. fastn stores each customer's Beamer key, keeps the connection healthy and limits which agents may publish.

Let a customer connect their own Beamer account so release notes publish to their widget and their audience.
Push a changelog entry automatically when a release is tagged in your own deployment pipeline.
Pull comments and reactions on recent posts into your product analytics so teams see which releases landed.
Sync feature requests and their vote counts into your roadmap view.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
Let an agent draft and schedule a changelog post in the right languages while every publish is audited per tenant.
Have an agent summarise the comments and votes on the last month of posts.
Allow an agent to read feature requests and add a reply, but not to delete posts or comments.

Set up Beamer in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Beamer connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Beamer account, so calls run under their credentials rather than a shared key.
- 03Decide which posts, pages and comments your product needs, map those fields, then enable the actions and triggers you want.
- 04Call it from your product and expose it to your agents through the same governed connection.
Why teams use the Beamer integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Beamer integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Beamer account inside your product and work their posts, pages and comments there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: anything published is public immediately, and each network gates access behind its own review process. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Beamer update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Beamer connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you publish and listen from inside your product instead of a separate social tool without wiring it twice.

Beamer integration FAQ
How do I add a Beamer integration to my product?
Enable the Beamer connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Beamer account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Beamer client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Beamer account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Beamer account and only ever sees their own posts, pages and comments. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Beamer integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. Let an agent draft and schedule a changelog post in the right languages while every publish is audited per tenant.
Who maintains the Beamer integration?
fastn does. When Beamer changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product publish to a customer's own Beamer account?
Yes. Each customer authorises their own account, so a post goes out as them, under their permissions, never from a shared account you own. That also means a customer revoking access affects only their own connection.
Can I read engagement back from Beamer?
Yes. Comments, reactions and reach come back scoped per tenant, so your product can act on them or show them in your own reporting without one customer's numbers mixing with another's.
What can I build with the Beamer integration?
A common starting point: let a customer connect their own Beamer account so release notes publish to their widget and their audience. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Beamer integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Beamer does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
