Thank you for your feedback! We're super appreciative of your trust and comments here. External API integrations are available now, most people end up using a system such as Zapier or PostMan. You can dig further into our API documentation via the link I'll provide below. Even with this however, we're working to roll out several direct API integrations with several various platforms - We're have those released hopefully in the fall.
