What Can We Do in the Portal?​

The portal is designed to give you full control over your data and workflows. Here’s an overview of what you can do:

  1. View and Analyze Data: Access and analyze data using tables, reports, and custom visualizations.

  2. Automate Workflows: Set up and manage automated workflows with the Flows tool.

  3. Manage Tables and Data: Create, edit, and manage tables with real-time data connections.

  4. Use Bricks for Automation: Utilize Bricks to integrate external services or automate tasks within your workflows.

Main Bricks Overview​

Here are some of the key Bricks you'll work with:

  1. Webhook Brick: Connects to external services or APIs to bring data into your flow.

  2. Python Brick: Enables advanced data manipulation and scripting within a flow.

  3. Send to Topic Brick: Links Playbooks and Flows, sending processed data to storage or external services.

  4. Form Brick: Allows users to manually trigger flows via form submissions.

  5. HTTP-Endpoint: This Brick lets you bring in data through a secure HTTPS endpoint, supporting formats like JSON and XML.

Example​

Here’s what you can accomplish with the portal in a simple Business Case:

  1. Data is collected from multiple sources (e.g., Excel files, APIs).

  2. This data is automatically processed by a Flow and stored in a Table.

  3. You create a Visualization to track key metrics in real-time.

  4. When certain conditions are met (e.g., sales targets), an alert is triggered using a Web-hook Brick.
