I am trying to understand the full functionality of this tool.
I need to connect multiple SaaS applications together: Wordpress, WooCommerce, CRM, Plutio, Suitedash, Quickbooks, Shipstation, and more
I am discovering that as I learn automation, not all automation tools (Pabbly, Zapier) offer the same connectivity to SAAS platforms via their API commands. I have had to purchase multiple automation tools because they offer a slightly different event/trigger/action set.
If a Saas Platform has an API, can this tool discover the endpoints and develop the required connectivity/exchange of data between the platforms?
And what about webhooks, which to me, seems kind of essential in order to listen to and "catch" an event from a SaaS. Otherwise how is this event trigger performed? A good explanation here would really seal the deal for me!
A: You can connect multiple SaaS applications with Twidget as long as each platform provides an API you can interact with. Twidget does not “discover” APIs automatically. API documentation is usually published by the SaaS provider, and you’ll use that to configure the integrations.
For event-based automation, Twidget supports webhooks. You can create a webhook by setting up a GET (or POST) endpoint in Twidget, then configuring the other SaaS platform to call that endpoint when a specific action or event occurs. This allows Twidget to “listen” for events and trigger subsequent actions between platforms.
I purchased your app, but I am going to be honest, I am a little overwhelmed. I would love to set it up to look at my emails, find any invoices, then add the invoice info to a google sheet, add the attached file to google drive, then link to the google drive file on the google sheet. Is this something that can be done with Twidget? Are there any tutorials that use cases that show step by step example of what it does. I find the tutorial now are generic and not very helpful for newbies.
A: Thanks for reaching out, and totally understand feeling overwhelmed at first!
Yes, what you described can be done with Twidget, but it does require some familiarity with Google’s Gmail, Sheets, and Drive APIs to integrate them together smoothly. Our current tutorials focus on helping new users understand the basics of the platform, but we’re actively working on more detailed, use-case-based guides like the one you mentioned.
Do you have the functionality to create webhooks? Like if a new row is created or field updated a webhook is triggered to send the data? If webhooks don't exist is this on the roadmap? I see others on appsumo have also asked about webhooks and this is very important to me.
A: While Twidget doesn’t use traditional webhooks, the platform gives you full control to run custom logic before and after any database operation. You can define reusable functions that act like pre- or post-triggers whenever a record is created, updated, or deleted.
Q: Are the database tables limited to 7 columns max?
As I see a table can have only 7 columns, from which two (_id and created_at) are populated by default and cannot be deleted. So basically there can be only 5 custom columns added, then the + button disappears.
Is it really limited to only 5 custom columns per database table or is it some GUI bug?
Thanks, then it is indeed an user error. I've never noticed that there is a scroll bar at the bottom of the page. I've found it now and it is working as intended.
Q: can we connect external database like mysql, supabase etc ?
