Connect systems. Not data silos.

What it is

PIPE is a simple, secure way to connect systems inside one organization, for example several sites and a central office. Pair once, set the scope, approve the exchange, and see green / yellow / red status on the link.

How internal exchange works

1. 1

   Pair the two ends

   Both ends confirm a short code and an explicit approval.

2. 2

   Scope what can move

   Set a narrow permission (for example evidence:read), not an open pipe.

3. 3

   Exchange only when authorized

   Nothing moves until the connection is approved.

4. 4

   Get a signed-style receipt

   Delivery succeeds with a receipt, so status means more than "the line is up."

Built for one owner, both ends

PIPE is aimed at cases where your organization controls the sender and the receiver. Multi-site to central office is the clearest fit. It is not pitched as a Zapier replacement that plugs into every SaaS vendor's API.

Code and monitor

Illustrative API and an interactive design preview. No real network connections occur.

import { PIPE } from "@astom-hale/pipe";

const pipe = new PIPE({
  environment: "enterprise",
  tenant: "acme-org"
});

// Establish a verified, approved connection
const connection = await pipe.pair({
  code: "••••••",
  recipient: "central-office",
  scope: ["evidence:read"],
  requireApproval: true
});

// Exchange only after authorization
if (connection.status === "AUTHORIZED") {
  const receipt = await pipe.share({
    connection,
    resource: "incident/1042/evidence",
    permission: "view",
    expiresIn: "24h"
  });
  console.log(receipt.status);
  // DELIVERED
}

The status lights

Every connection has one light, based on proof of arrival, not on whether the line is up.

• Green

  Arrived and confirmed exactly.

• Yellow

  Slow or retrying. Nothing lost.

• Red

  Stopped or rejected. Data held safely until fixed.
