# sevDesk integration

sevDesk is a German online service that enables small and medium-sized companies to automate bookkeeping, accounting, and merchandise management easily, affordably, and securely. Handle important tasks in the cloud and store your data in compliance with GoBD on servers in protected German data centers.

With sipgate, you can make calls directly in sevDesk and use your contacts in the sipgate app. This way you always see who is calling and don't have to switch between different tools. sipgate is your phone system with the telephony app for desktop and mobile.

Connect sipgate and sevDesk and benefit from automatic contact synchronization. All changes or new contacts that you add in the sipgate app during or after the call are automatically saved in sevDesk.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/connections-and-integrations/integrationen-fur-die-sipgate-app/sevdesk-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
