@foolywk This is great, I'll definitely be checking it out. Some feedback, it would be nice if the demo video started by showing the end result. It wasn't clear from the beginning that you were actually building a customer-facing Slack integration (which is very cool btw).
@matthew_reid1 Thanks for the feedback, I agree that could help make it more clear - we'll try that for the next video!
Hey @foolywk, slick design! What kind of canvas are you using for block-scheme rendering? Is it SVG or something custom?
@eugenehp The workflow editor components are all our own, and we render the edges/paths between steps with SVGs that scale to the right width for a branch/group of steps (i.e., a branch will be wider if it contains multiple fanout or conditional blocks within it). vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke is a key part of making that stretching look smooth 😄
Considering this as an alternative to Zapier, I guess a proof of concept for integrations with Slack and Jira will be a good test for our Mirro.io
Very impressive product @ishthedestroyer @foolywk and team, we could've used this when building integrations @ Enplug for our customers. I dig the "Plaid for SaaS apps" positioning. I'll recommend this to others! 🚀💪
As an early beta tester, I can testify that Paragon is EXACTLY what I want when I’m building out new stuff. It strikes the balance of simplicity in power. It is truly the Webflow of automation tools.
Super excited to show everyone what our team's been working on! Over the last year, we've had tens of millions of automations run on Paragon with use cases we would've never dreamt of. With Paragon Connect, our mission is to make it 100x easier to integrate these workflows natively in your apps without spending countless hours setting it up. Let us know what you think 🚀
This is such a big time-saver for us! Especially having pre-built connect and configuration pages, that's a ton of dev work that we no longer need to do. Congrats to @foolywk and @ishthedestroyer for making such an awesome product :)
Thank you @davidgu! Grateful for the opportunity to be part of Perfect Recall's journey!
This will save months for early-stage teams, great idea & product! Building integrations has never been easier 😎
We use Paragon Connect @ Popl and it's amazing! Great job to Brandon, Ish and the team for making an incredible product that just works 🙌
Very awesome! Congrats on the launch. @foolywk — Brandon, awesome to see a fellow Bruin building cool things. Would love to chat and hear more about Paragon's story ⚒️
Paragon is the real deal! We're trying it at dashworks.ai, and love the execution and support from @foolywk and the team.
Paragon Connect gives an embedded solution for integrating product with third-party SaaS apps, providing seamless, unified integration experience. This allows teams to avoid the cost, time, and risk that comes with building and maintaining their own integrations solution.
Congrats on the launch @foolywk! We are happy customers of Paragon - it's saved us countless hours of dev time to connect our app with Salesforce.
@foolywk @stan_chang1 we're starting with SFDC too. Is your integration 2-way - push and pull?
Really useful product for SaaS world, extending integrations will make it much more powerful. Congratulations!
I got to see a quick demo of Paragon Connect from Ishmael and it's a super impressive tool. Definitely looking forward to diving deeper into what I can do with Connect, especially around providing HubSpot integrations for my clients.
Congrats on the launch, Paragon team!
We've already started integrating this into https://tallyfy.com and really looking forward to doing tons more in future.
@jo_m Thanks! Paragon is specific to the integrations side of a product, so it can help offload the (not fun) engineering work associated with that: adding configuration UI for each integration, access token management, stitching third-party APIs together, managing webhooks, etc.
We simplify that by hosting a configuration modal for your integrations and providing a low-code workflow editor to deal with third-party logic instead 🙂 I see Retool as addressing a more generic set of problems building internal tools, particularly around common CRUD scaffolding work.
The UI that Paragon hosts for your end users is a bit like Retool's "Auth Login" feature. We include some extra stuff, like preconfigured picklists for each integration (e.g., Channels or Users for Slack) and tying users' integration state with your app's existing auth sessions. But to my knowledge Retool can't run anything in response to integration-driven events, like "when someone updates a new record in my user's Salesforce account, sync that into our database." That's where our workflow editor would come in!
I can actually see Paragon fitting in really nicely to some Retool apps to accomplish what its Auth Login cannot (and for supporting integrations that Retool doesn't have)! You can embed the Paragon Connect portal just about anywhere 😄
@thatethanlee wow super cool, thanks for responding so thoroughly! very exciting to think of all the possibilities of paragon + retool and can't wait to take it for a spin. :)
We've been using Paragon Connect and absolutely love how easy it is to get integrations up and running ASAP.
Incredible! Love what you're doing, implementing integrations faster and more easily is 👌🏾
