What do I need to do? If you wish to continue a feed to an impacted portal or service, please review whether the portal or service you currently use is listed as a supported portal in Reapit’s Business Service Catalogue Keep in mind that your agency website might be using one of Reapit’s legacy methods, so check with your website provider to confirmIf the portal/service is not included in the Reapit Business Service Catalogue and an integration has not yet been created for installation via Reapit’s AppMarket, a Foundations app must be developed - this app will facilitate the data feed integration from Reapit to their portal or service
