Hellos I think the beauty of coda will be to bring together all the other bits and pieces of info we have all over the nets and allow us to display it in a single place in a word doc type format. Coda canvas is like a live, internet connected piece of paper! Oh! Can you start on that next? k, thanks, ta!
Todoist (better task management structure for getting on with it)
Google Drive (direct embed or list files)
Embed google calendar instead of native (better live integration)
Hey Kimberly, Iām part of the team working on new Packs
Thanks for your suggestions. Would love to know more detail about how you want to use these. Feel free to DM me or share more here in the community. Especially any examples of your current process and where youād love to be using Coda for it instead.
Ok so, Iāve found myself using coda for a few different things but itās mainly for business that I think it shines for me. Iāve been really struggling with getting a coherent overall view of my business. Iāve tried many tools, like task management and project management software, reporting software. And Iāve tried almost all of them
Iām looking to use coda to give me the high level view that I need for planning business objectives by pulling all my data into one place that will allow me to see the big picture, decide what I want to do with my big picture and then, well, get on with doing it! Sounds simples, ay?
So to set this up Iāve created a Live business plan that follows the standard format but allows me to:
Pull data from other sources to be included visually (ie, graphs etc)
Give me an overview of each sections progress
Allow me to plan my projects and create and schedule tasks.
Essentially, I see:
Finance - pulling data from Xero
Marketing - pulling data from a social management/ reporting tool or coda replicating it (which I think I can do relatively easily)
Sales - pulling data from shopify, stripe, paypal, ebay, amazon, facebook etc.
Brief overview/ Project management - This will be where I plan projects and create associated tasks. While coda can handle task management, itās just not as effective as Todoist in many ways.
These are the obvious sections. Iām still working on what I need to include elsewhere.
Can I give you access to a doc so you can see what Iām yammering about?
Oh and Iāve starting using it to auto-generate my shopping list cause I am defo that short on time!
In addition - convert table to CSV and attach CSV to email (for daily/weekly/monthly backup of important data such as inventory, chargeable-work log, etc)
Of course there is no guarantee that the pack with the most votes will make it, but at least it gives the decision makers a good indication what the āmakersā are looking for.
Alternatives like Zapier and scripts like @Al_Chen_Coda has made might for the time being also a solution.
Iām already relying on Zapier for several things but couldnāt find any way to easily download entire tables/views, searched heavily here. Which scripts/workflows are you talking about?
Again, this should not be treated as a pack, its a basic straightforward feature to access information generated within the document/app.
Thank you for the link but, damn, is it a complex process! Iād rather wait for a proper GSheet pack to be developed. Having to repeat this for every table is too much for me right now.
Also, I think it wouldnāt work for my Coda apps because I need to export CSVs of different views of the same parent table (often 2 or 3 views per table).
So really a GSheet pack would probably not work as well as copy pasting the data to a sheet and exporting a CSV.
