Is it possible to connect Avaza and Owncloud?
1 Comment
BK
Hi Radek, Avaza connects to hundreds of popular applications via Zapier. You may want to explore that option. We don't have a native integration with Owncloud.Read more
Are their any plans to have a tab on the left side for a project dashboard on the main screen? Or how about automating project percentages instead of the manual version Avaza has now?
