Amazing service, but need a vital integration (Activepieces)

In terms of quality, as soon as you enter the dashboard, you see that a lot of work has been dedicated to creating a solid email marketing platform with the main features that you find in competitors, and that deserves a lot of recognition, as they take the project very seriously.

However, not everything is perfect. The integration part still needs improvement, as relying on Zapier or Make for integrations is terrible (at least for me).

For example, I use ConvertPro to create forms on my WordPress sites, and there is no native integration for that plugin (which is understandable, despite hoping that this will arrive one day), and I could work around this with an integration with Activepieces, for example.

However, a good amount of time has passed since someone mentioned here about the integration with Activepieces, and so far it is not something available.

I know that this MAY change in the future, but that "MAY" could take a long time.

And I honestly loved the service, but this lack of integration with Activepieces breaks several usage possibilities that I would have here.

I still have a lot of faith in the project and hope that the DEVs will make the integration with Activepieces a priority, because without it, I am still uncertain about using the tool.

And again, I loved the entire platform (this with activepieces will be the best buy of the year), but to send emails I rely on capturing those emails, and the integration with Activepieces is a fundamental piece that I believe is vital for many others on Appsumo as well.

And I know that the creator suggests that we vote on this item on the roadmap and vote there in the Activepieces community as well (and I have already done both).

So we just have to wait, but for now it is still only half of the puzzle for my usage strategy.

OBS: If you love the overpriced Zapier or have a MAKE account that meets your needs, then you don't need to worry about my specific complaint with intagrations and it would definitely be 5 tacos for you.

Sorry Jason, I know you must be managing a large list of priorities, and I truly believe this platform is worth 5 tacos (but, in my opinion, it depends on more integrations for that, as unfortunately, it is a crucial piece of the functionality in my usage strategy).

Thank you for the honest review. You are correct in that we are currently managing a high influx of priorities. Honestly, it's been a little overwhelming, but we'll never complain. The AppSumo community has been awesome to work with! Activepieces is on this list, and with the upvotes we're getting, it's becoming a much higher priority. Once we're acclimated to Activepieces, we can build out a solid integration as we have with Zapier, Make, Boost.space, and Integrately. We have a lot of plans for integrations as that will become one of the major pieces of the Tarvent platform. We realize the importance of integrations but wanted to make sure we have a rock-solid foundation to build on.

Thanks again for the time spent on the review. We'll keep plugging away and maybe get a few hours of sleep a night. 😂
