Hi! I have an API question! I want to set up a way to pipe super duper old & dusty unverified cards into a Slack channel using Workato. In theory I can do this if I can update a Google spreadsheet using API calls, but that's where I'm getting stuck. Right now, I use the Card Manager to look a set of parameters to pull it manually - but I'd like to take myself out of the process and operationalize this process! Has anyone done anything similar to this?

Hey @aberman, so sorry I am catching up from being OOO last week. This is a great use case of using an iPaaS connector to create triggers for Guru Analytics. This can be automated by using the API, specifically the lastVerified endpoint (https://developer.getguru.com/reference#createextendedfact)

We have seen other clients using connectors to automate specific Guru reports. For example, @nick.snelling shared with @crojewski and the community that RedEye used Microsoft Flow to create a trigger that posts certain Guru analytics into a Slack Channel using certain Guru API calls. More details of Nick's use case that he shared with us can be found here --> https://app.getguru.com/card/cbKoojqi/Spotlight-on-API-Usage-Nick-Snelling-RedEye

Feel free to keep reaching out with more specifics on this project - sounds like the automation would be a huge help for you guys

I will say that our Ops Eng team in CE can probably help me with this, but it's lower priority for their overall work and I also want to learn API stuff - so here I am! :slightlysmilingface:
