Document360 Overview#

The Document360 API enables programmatic interaction with your knowledge base, allowing you to automate content creation, updates, and management. With this API, you can integrate Document360 into your existing content pipelines, support workflows, or any system that needs to push or pull knowledge base content. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to craft serverless workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps to keep documentation up-to-date, trigger notifications based on content changes, or analyze knowledge base usage.

Salesforce Overview#

The Salesforce (REST API) provides a powerful platform for creating and managing customer relationships with a wide array of features like data manipulation, querying, and complex automation. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can create workflows that automate your sales processes, sync data with other platforms, enhance customer engagement, and trigger actions based on specific events. Dive into Salesforce data, streamline lead management, track customer interactions, and push or pull data to or from Salesforce seamlessly.
