Great question! Instead of dealing with race conditions like this, we encourage users to use our webhooks to create a workflow. For example, if I wanted to sync my user's sales data and then relate it to the invoices from the accountin

Great question! TL;DR: codat.io is more like Plaid in that they've come up with a single schema for everyone else to build against. hotglue allows you to come up with a schema that works for your product, and gives you the tools to sta

Interesting – would love to hear more about what your experience using Tray has been like. Glad to hear that going against that "no-code" trend is something that you agree with, as it definitely gives more flexibility to developer

Yup, that's definitely a great target for a product like ours. Like you said, especially for a start-up in a market of more well established products, it's hard to juggle product growth with scaling up integrations (and all the wo

Sort of, yes. Fivetran has a product called Powered by Fivetran which is an API on top of Fivetran that lets users connect their apps and push to a warehouse managed by you. For example, you could ask users to connect their Salesforce via F
