Q: Hi Rake team, Just one question and one suggestion: Question: Are considering publishing an open API?

Zapier certainly works, but the AppSumo / lifetime deal community have found it to be quite expensive. Most of us prefer Integrately, Pabbly and other tools. Providing API access and documentation would allow these teams to build integrations with Rake.

Suggestion: I'm hesitant to pull the plug because I would really like to be able to use CNAMEs for each workspace. I think if you added CNAME / Whitelabeling to Tier 5, you'd get a ton of people jumping onto that plan. QuestionScout was able to add this to their lifetime deal while the deal was running and got a bunch of new signups.

Listening and implementing are how you'll win loyal customers and advocates for life here. I wish you and the team well.

A: Hi Travis - thanks for the comments. Yes we are planning to post our API in our documentation. As we have recently completed our Zapier work, we now have the majority of the work complete so we're not far off from publishing.
On CNAME - I'm afraid we won't be able to do this quickly enough before the appsumo deal expires but we are headed in this direction.

Mike,

thanks for the response. If CNAME is implemented later, will it be included in those who purchased the AppSumo deal?

Thanks again.

We will certainly include the CNAME option for AppSumo deals after we launch it on our side. Thanks for asking!
