Custom integrations

Jack Hillman

As much as developing individual integrations is great, it would be good for a user to define a custom integration endpoint, where you post through the context of the user/day, and the endpoint reponds back with a predefined schema.

The Sunsama team could also just build an integration with Zapier and would solve most of the integration requests...

Do you mean like some sort of API integration on the Sunsama side, or a custom made API that be reached through Sunsama?

Jack Hillman

Boy Callaars: The latter. I imagined a solution similar in permise to how Stackbit's Sourcebit works: https://github.com/stackbithq/sourcebit.

I would imagine a flow like this: A custom integration is setup with a user defined endpoint and a payload (config), which when called responds with an array of task objects. The simplicity of Sourcebit is that the source (in this case, the payload) is a standard format, and the output (in this case, the task list) is also in a predefined format. It's up to the custom endpoint to respond appropriately to the payload with data that can be understood by Sunsama.

Jack Hillman: That's a pretty cool idea, I got to be honest.
