Key Concepts

Endpoints

An endpoint is a specific URL where your API can receive requests. Each endpoint has:

  • A unique name

  • A description

  • Associated fields

  • Configuration settings

Fields

Fields define what data your API accepts. Each field has:

  • Field Name: The parameter name

  • Data Type: string, number, boolean, array, or object

  • Field Type: text, single_select, multi_select, date, or object

  • Required: Whether the field is mandatory

  • Active: Whether the field is currently enabled

Flow Builder

The Flow Builder is our visual interface for creating APIs. It guides you through:

  1. Endpoint Setup: Name and describe your API
  2. Field Configuration: Define what data to accept
  3. Validation Rules: Set up data validation (coming soon)
  4. Response Mapping: Configure API responses (coming soon)
  5. Testing: Test your API before deployment (coming soon)
  6. Deployment: Deploy your API live (coming soon)
