What is Navan ?
Navan (formerly TripActions) is a comprehensive corporate travel and expense management platform serving over 10,000 customers globally.
Navan combines travel booking, corporate-issued payment cards, expense reporting, and analytics into a unified platform.
The platform leverages AI technology throughout its infrastructure, becoming the first travel management company to integrate generative AI across the entire tech stack, from search capabilities to customer service through their virtual assistant, Ava.
The Navan Integration Challenge
While Navan offers powerful features and some API capabilities, accessing comprehensive operational data programmatically presents significant barriers:
- Limited API documentation: The Navan API requires admin-level access to create credentials, with API details only accessible once during creation and no ability to retrieve credentials after initial generation
- Complex authentication requirements: Navan uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) including magic links and various identity protocols, adding complexity to programmatic access
- Restricted data access: API access requires special enablement from Navan support for features like the Expense Transaction API, with separate permissions needed for different data types
- Mobile-first design limitations: Despite having iOS and Android applications, users report frequent crashes, slow performance, and missing features that complicate data access
- Enterprise-focused integration model: While Navan has built 40+ HRIS integrations through platforms like Merge, direct API access for custom integrations remains challenging for individual organizations
How Supergood Creates Navan APIs
Supergood creates a production-ready REST API by interfacing directly with Navan's web platform at the browser automation level.
Our platform authenticates through Navan's standard login flow including MFA handling, maintains active sessions with automatic token management, and continuously monitors the integration to adapt when Navan updates their platform. We can generate Supergood managed service accounts to handle MFA and reauthentication automatically. This provides programmatic access to comprehensive travel, expense, and user data that isn't readily available through the limited official API, enabling true automation of travel management workflows without the restrictions of official integration channels.
