Pando Developer Tools

Pando makes it easy for applications to send packages using Pando. For example, a chat application can use Pando to send video files, or a photo organizer to use Pando to send photo albums to friends and family.

If you are interested in distributing Pando with your application, please contact us.

There are two integration options, opening a pando:send URL or making an automation call.

pando:send URL

The easiest mechanism is have your application add a button to send packages using Pando, where Pando does the actual sending (sending the email, send to web, etc.). See One-click Pando packages with pando:send for details and code examples.

This is supported on both Mac and Windows.

Sending via Automation API

If you want your application take care of the sending, such as through a private chat network, posting to a web site, or incorporating into your own emails, we provide PDEmailInterface COM. This allows your application to call Pando to package files, returning the Package URL for you to use.

When your application receives Pando packages, such as through a private chat network or web page, you simply open the file or URL and we'll take care of the rest of the download. For more details, see Downloading Pando Packages.

If you want to control the entire user experience, contact us about the Pando Client Integration Toolkit.

Supported Versions

PDEmailInterface COM is supported in Pando version 1.4.5 and newer, Windows only.

Identical functionality will be provided for Mac OS X by an AppleEvents API in a future release of Pando.
