I am using Coda for quite some time now and so far the experience is seemless. But for automating workflows, only Zapier is the only method.
It would be really awesome if Coda is integrated to IFTTT. The reason to do that is because:
IFTTT is easy to use and it is free
It has a larger user base than Zapier
It provides a much more apps to integrated Coda with.
I have used it. I still do. Strange, I didn’t bump into any problem.
Still, if it is not that great, then best bet would be to have an API which we can consume so that we can automate the workflow ourselves if not Zapier.
Please consider IFTTT integration via a pack or a push API (would be more general).
I vote +1 for this to enable me to push data such as adding rows to a table. Right now I use IFTTT to push data in Google Sheets but as I’m using Coda more, I realize some data would be better used in Coda tables and the workflow here.
I also would much rather have integration with IFTTT than Zapier.
Zapier is very limiting at 100/ month instances in their free tier. I’m a lighter user, but could top that fairly regularly. But, I’ll not trigger enough Zaps to warrant paying $240 a year for 1000/ month.
There’s a big hole here between those who are light, but consistent users, and those who are using this as a business product and their company might shell out the cost for Zapier integration.
IFTTT fills that hole, even if it’s not as slick a service.
Please build for IFTTT. Their product is affordable and Zapier to be useful costs $50 a month which one user especially a single mother of 6 cannot afford that hefty price tag. IFTTT pro offered a name your own price so I upgraded for $1.99 a month! It’s not perfect but it works well.
I noticed there’s now a VOTE button at the top of this post. I see no votes but several comments of users wanting this. SO I think we all need to VOTE for it so it’s numbers go up. Coda seems to work by looking at what is most upvoted to add next.
They’ve recently released a custom GPT for interfacing with any services you have connected to your account. If there was a link up with a Coda doc, you could update your doc/a table/a page from ChatGPT
Have gotten table updates working via updating a Google Sheet from ChatGPT and then syncing that into Coda.
