Product
What is SentraBridge?
An integration platform for local government from Computer Systems Plus, Inc. It connects anything with an API, plus databases, GIS and files. You draw flows on a canvas: read records, change and check them, decide, then write them somewhere else.
Does SentraBridge store our records?
No. Records pass through in memory while a flow runs and are dropped when it ends. Run history keeps counts, timings and record IDs, never contents.
Do we need Sentra products to use it?
No. SentraBridge is sold standalone and connects any system with an API. If you do run Sentra products, it knows them out of the box.
How do flows start?
By hand, on a schedule in your time zone, when a system calls in (webhook), or when database rows change.
Can a person approve before a flow writes?
Yes. An approval step pauses the flow, holding record IDs only, and reads the records again on approval.
Connecting systems
What if our system isn't in the catalog?
Any REST/JSON API works. Import its OpenAPI or Swagger file to build a connector automatically, or set the address and sign-in and use paths in each step.
Which databases are supported?
Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL (with PostGIS) and MySQL/MariaDB, as sources and destinations.
Can it handle files?
Yes: SFTP (CSV, JSON, JSON Lines, XML) with host-key pinning, plus document transfer to Laserfiche, SharePoint libraries, S3 and Azure Blob.
Does it work with Tyler EnerGov or Munis?
They're listed in the catalog, and need the city's Tyler API access. Once Tyler provides documentation and a key, flows use custom paths.
Accela has no webhooks. How do changes get through?
SentraBridge reads records changed since the last good run (updateDateFrom) on a schedule, as often as every minute.
Security & hosting
Where is it hosted?
Either on US-based cloud infrastructure run by CSP, or on your own servers, including air-gapped networks.
How do people sign in?
With Microsoft or Google sign-in, your own identity provider (SAML, with SCIM directory sync), or a password with two-step sign-in. Viewer, builder and admin roles per workspace, optionally limited to a department.
Does the AI see our data?
The AI flow builder and field mapping see settings and field names only, unless the city includes samples. The Ask AI step sends only the fields you list, and only after an admin allows it.
Are you CJIS or SOC 2 certified?
We don't claim certifications we don't hold. Ask us for current security documentation; self-hosting keeps everything under your controls.
Working with CSP
Can CSP build the flows for us?
Yes. CSP offers assisted flow builds: we set up a sandbox workspace and build flows with your team.
We support several agencies. Can we use it?
Yes. Each agency gets its own workspace; shared templates are published once and rolled out to many clients with update notices.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the connectors and hosting you need. Contact us for a quote.
