CAD events, routed.

Covaga Hub listens for your ECAD exports and delivers them to Teams, SharePoint, Drive or email — credentials stay server-side.

Integrations without the integration project.

// today

  • One-off local macros

    Custom export scripts commissioned for 200€ to 2,400€ each, living on a single workstation. You own the maintenance forever, and they break when a colleague changes machines.

  • Heavy PLM / ERP connectors

    Enterprise middleware that is expensive to license and slow to roll out — far more than a small electrical team needs to file a drawing into SharePoint.

  • Credentials on the CAD PC

    OAuth tokens and API keys sitting in local config files, going stale whenever the provider or a webhook secret rotates.

// with Covaga Hub

  • Configured routes, not code

    Point an ECAD event at a destination and you're done. Turn a PDF export into a Teams notice or a SharePoint upload in minutes.

  • Credentials held server-side

    OAuth tokens live encrypted in the hosted router. The open-source client on your PC only sends event data — never secrets.

  • Kept current for you

    When a provider changes its API, the hosted worker is updated centrally. Nothing to redeploy on your engineering machines.

how it works

Three steps, from CAD event to delivered.

  1. 01

    An ECAD event fires

    A PDF export, a BOM export, or a project close happens inside your ECAD tool during normal work — nobody changes how they draw.

  2. 02

    The open-source client POSTs JSON

    A lightweight client running alongside your CAD sends a small JSON payload to your private tenant URL. No secrets leave the PC.

  3. 03

    The router delivers it

    The hosted worker transforms the event and delivers it to your destination: Teams, SharePoint, Google Drive, email, or any HTTP endpoint.

events · src

What your ECAD can trigger.

Each event maps to a real EPLAN API action — including the ones most integrations never touch.

  • pdf-exported live

    PDF exported

    Fires when a schematic or documentation PDF is exported from a project.

    action export · PDF

  • bom-exported live

    BOM / parts list exported

    Fires when a bill of materials, parts list or terminal label is exported.

    action label

  • dxf-dwg-exported coming soon

    DXF / DWG exported

    Fires when pages or the project are exported to DXF or DWG for mechanical or client hand-off.

    action export · DXF/DWG

  • project-backed-up coming soon

    Project backed up

    Fires when a project backup (.zw1) is created — ready for off-site archival.

    action backup

  • wiring-exported coming soon

    Production wiring exported

    Fires when production wiring data is exported for the machine build.

    action ExportProductionWiring

  • project-closed coming soon

    Project closed

    Fires when a project is closed — useful for sign-off and archival flows.

    event lifecycle

destinations · dst

Where it goes — tools engineers use.

  • Microsoft Teams

    Post a message to a channel on every event.

  • SharePoint

    File the export into the project's document library.

  • Google Drive

    Upload the exported file into a shared folder.

  • Email

    Send the export to a distribution list or an inbox.

  • Network folder

    Drop the file onto a shared drive via a small agent.

  • PLM / PDM

    soon

    Check drawings into Vault, SolidWorks PDM or Windchill.

No Slack? By design — Covaga Hub speaks the M365 + PLM stack your office already runs. Need something else? A generic HTTP destination forwards the payload anywhere.

faq

Straight answers.

Which ECAD tools do you support?

Covaga Hub is ECAD-agnostic. The open-source client captures events from your CAD tool and POSTs them to your tenant. EPLAN Electric P8 is supported first; the client is designed so other ECAD tools can be added the same way.

Does the CAD software need to be open?

Yes. The client runs alongside your CAD with an active licence. While it's open, integrations run automatically as you export and close projects. Nothing runs when the software is closed.

Is the client really open source?

Yes — MIT licensed and fully auditable by your IT team. You can read every line before you install it, and it only sends event data to your own tenant URL. That's the Community tier: free forever.

Where do my OAuth tokens live?

Encrypted in the hosted router, held server-side. They are never stored on your PC. The client sends event payloads only, so credentials never leave the hosted environment.

Why no Slack?

Because engineering offices don't run on Slack. Covaga Hub targets the tools you actually use — Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Drive, email, network folders, and PLM/PDM. A generic HTTP destination covers anything else.

Do we have to change how the team works?

No. Engineers keep exporting PDFs and BOMs exactly as they do today. Covaga Hub listens for those events and delivers them, so there's no new tool to learn.
