A: Hi,

Welcome on board :)

Absolutely we are looking to add more integrations with apps especially ones that have been on Appsumo already. Have done a campaign for Swipe Pages 4 years back we knew that Integrations would be the most sought after by customers.

One thing we have seen most other apps on Appsumo is that they generally don't have solid API docs available. Most of them are new products so its understandable.

Tidycal was our first choice but then we noticed that even though they have OAuth they don't have webhook subscriptions via API. In fact they don't have webhooks support at all. This is something almost all popular apps outside of Appsumo provide. This is important because you then trigger workflows based on Events that happen in these platforms like for instance Meeting booked. That's how we integrate with Cal.com and Calendly.

But having said this apart from Tidycal almost all other apps even if they don't have an API that other developers can build robust apps upon, they generally integrate with connector platforms like Zapier, Pabbly or almost always support webhooks for sending out data ( tidycal an anomaly )

So what we decided was to build a robust Incoming Webhooks option in our CRM. This way any app could be integrated with. Usually the problem with Webhooks would be the field mapping areas, especially when the structure of the webhook is hard. And its also something non technical folks aren't comfortable. So we designed it an intuitive interface taking away complexity.

We will look to add native integrations when we can, when API docs are clear. We are also exposing our own APIs so that other apps can integrate. Sometimes a lot of apps instead of exposing their APIs which is time consuming, prefer to bake in a connection themselves.

What are going to do is first add connections with a number of platform connectors. A number of them have been on Appsumo right from Make.com to recent ones like Albato. Then expose our API docs in parallel and also make videos showing how to integrate with a lot of these apps using Webhooks. Then start working on direct connections with popular apps.

regards,
