Abstract

An incentive management system may receive a request for registration of a software application from a software developer and assign at least an API key and an API secret to the software application. The system may further provide, to the software developer, integration instructions including at least the API key and the API secret and provide a developer platform to the software developer, the developer platform configured to receive program information including at one or more actions that may be performed by a user of the software application. The system may monitor messages from one or more application servers, such as via webhooks embedded in the software application, regarding performance of one or more actions identified as actionable by the software developer. The system may periodically determine a cumulative incentive associated with each of the users of the software application and coordinate provision of the incentives.
