Coda Packs with Data Sync - A building block that keeps up with your data.

One of our most powerful building blocks just got new integrations, data sync, and a powerful new feature we call Packs Tables. Ever seen a doc do this?

Excited to bring the new Coda Packs to Product Hunt! We launched our first rev of Coda Packs on Product Hunt about a year ago, and the response was awesome. We saw Coda makers remix these third-party integrations into amazing docs ー or as we like to say, "docs as powerful as apps". And this release takes Coda Packs to a totally new level. The new building block here is Packs Tables, which enables one of our most common requests: data sync. Now with the click of a button, your Coda doc can pull your calendar into a table, so you can quickly categorize and set goals for each meeting. A table can merge your customer emails with your revenue pipeline, and follow up with your clients automatically. As a bonus, we also added two of your most-requested Packs - Jira and Shopify - so now your product roadmap and inventory work seamlessly with the building blocks in your doc. You can take a look at a wide set of examples at https://coda.io/packs or read more about the news on our blog post. And if you just want to see a fun test case, here's an example I put together on how to use the new Coda Packs to color your calendar 😄. What's your favorite use case?

@shishirmehrotra Congrats on the launch! Coda really is a revolutionary new product in an exciting area. Packs really open up Coda as a platform. Will be fascinating to see what your community does with it. (Hoping to see some HubSpot packs on the horizon). :)

Packs are a fantastic addition to Coda, it's now incredibly easily to connect lots of data sources sources together with a few clicks. As an example I created one that turns your Gmail inbox into a Coda ToDo list and then gives every item a "Add to your Calendar" function. https://coda.io/t/Dess-Prioritis... Excited to see what this makes possible

@destraynor Love this template. Your tweet ( https://twitter.com/destraynor/s...) on this topic was epic and it's so fun to see it come to life in Coda!

Is it possible to marry Coda? Asking for a friend PS that friend is me, I want to marry Coda

@nidanizam Thought you'd never ask :) Good news is we've got a head-start on the wedding: https://coda.io/t/Plan-your-Wedd...

I love Coda! I like to see all the hard work these guys are putting it to help us be more human by automating as much as possible our day to day work. Keep going guys!
Justin Hales
@marc_fitt thanks for being such a fantastic maker!

I'm really excited about this release of Coda. I've been using a custom template for my to do list since back in March, and this made it really easy to add tasks from my email into my overall workflow (vs. having to look in two places). Here's my template: https://coda.io/t/Ellen-Chisas-A...

@ellenchisa Awesome use case. To-Do lists are one of those cases where I've found most off-the-shelf solutions to be not-quite-right. And having an effective model can be an order of magnitude impact in productivity and peace of mind. I've already borrowed a couple ideas from yours :)

Really excited to have launched this, I'd love to know what other Packs people would like to see and how they're using Packs Tables. Currently I'm using it for: - Keeping on top of the teams Pull Requests in Github - Syncing our team vacation calendar to know who's in and out - Pulling in Intercom conversations related to Packs to track the feedback and questions

Keeping up with my network can be a full-time job so I've been looking for an easy way to reach out to everyone on my contact list at the right time. Coda finally gave me the tool I needed with the launch of Packs. Check out my template for my "Self-Driving Rolodex" - a simple and flexible way to keep in touch with the people that matter. https://coda.io/t/Satyas-Self-Dr...

@satyap Such a fun use case. Adding some of these ideas to my tracker now...

@chase_schwalbach Thank YOU for the kudos! We do it for you :)
Justin Hales
@chase_schwalbach Would love to see what you're building!

I love Coda and its flexibility to build my own tools and apps, especially when sheets and asana totally fail me. Can't wait to play around and experiment with Packs Tables. As a manager whose inbox gets totally destroyed everyday, really looking forward to analyze my gmail and optimizing my google cal. stoked!

This is an amazing addition to @coda_hq @shishirmehrotra! Congrats on this product update 🎉
Jacob Matthew Wood
Love seeing Coda back on Product Hunt. Excited to get my hands on this!

Thanks @vanhinpuu! Excited to see what you build.
Ritesh Chopra
Shopify integration is awesome. I think it'll be a big hit with small business owners
Jeffrey Withington
I loveeeee Coda! It's a fantastic app that lets me build tools that I want, and I'm really excited to check out these new packs. Thanks!
Evan Davies
@jeffrey_withington Thanks for all the love ❤! Let us know what you think!

Hi , great stuff - could it also be used to sync between two coda documents ?

@asaf_moses2 Watch this space :)

When is firefox support coming?
Shishir Mehrotra
@ziyad_dadabhoy We're working on it now!
Justin Hales
@ziyad_dadabhoy in case you missed it, Coda 2.0 now supports Firefox and Safari! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/c...

It's really disappointing that this app, with all it's promises, is limited to use on chrome. It's going to be impossible for Coda.io to stand alongside other competing products (Ahem. Notion) because of the paltry support. Desktop + mult-browser support is essential in 2019. This chrome only limitation feels like a call back to the Internet Explorer days.
Angad Singh
@ayushpokh We're working on it. Can't commit to a timeline yet but it's coming soon!

@ayushpokh in case you missed it, Coda 2.0 now supports Firefox and Safari! https://twitter.com/coda_hq/stat...

@justin_hales I did not see that! But that's fantastic =) You may have gained a user then.

Coda makes it so easy to program with your data! Want a reminder to pop up into your one todo list ever so often? That's easy. Have a set of things to do every time new folks join your team. Easy to generate reminders for those too. Apps trapped all our data; Coda frees them for our use!

This is awesome! Is there a way to connect a corporate JIRA account that's not on the latest version of JIRA?
Bill Veghte
Personal context and data sit in remarkably brittle and isolated silos. I love the promise of Coda but for it to be fully active and unlock the potential of docs, breaking down these silos becomes so important. This is why I am particularly excited about the Coda Packs. Way to go Coda team!!! I love the examples from Shishir's rainbow calendar to Des's take on personal productivity and how he links with calendar and To Do's....

Wow this looks great
