§ FAQ
Munis integration questions
Does Munis have an API?
Yes. Tyler's API Catalog offers REST toolkits for Enterprise ERP, such as General Ledger and Purchase Orders, licensed per city. Details are behind Tyler's customer login.
How do I create a positive pay file from Munis?
Read checks issued that day, map them to the bank's layout, and write the file to the bank's SFTP outbox. A template does this.
Is the Munis connector verified?
No. It is built from Tyler's public descriptions and tested on a SentraBridge sandbox. Paths and fields are confirmed with your Tyler documentation first.
Can Munis data stay on our network?
Yes. With self-hosting or the relay, SentraBridge reaches Munis inside the network, and records are never stored.
