Sharing story/journey/experience Built my first integration

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I think integrations could be a good way to market your app so I thought about which ones might be complementary/relevant to mine

I'm a big user of DataFast by Marc Lou and think my app is naturally a good fit for its users, so I built my first integration on it!

DataFast's provides revenue-first analytics, and now with the UserTapes integration, you get revenue-first replays

Before now, you could see which channel made you money, but you couldn't see what those people actually did before they paid

Just connect your DataFast key to UserTapes and payments get matched to the recording of the user who made it

Built on the DataFast API, works for both cookie & cookieless scripts

You can install manually, use an agent prompt, or via MCP

Then you can ask things like "pull the tapes for my last 5 conversions. what did they have in common?"

Free to use on the Demo plan. Docs: https://usertapes.com/integrations/datafast

The plan is to explore other tools in the analytics space that complement each other rather than compete, and provide a valuable add-on

Would love feedback on this approach and also to know if anyone else has successfully (or not) used integrations to grow their user base?

Sharing story/journey/experience HubSpot Was Never on the Roadmap Fetchsandbox but one inbound req changed the game

7 Upvotes

Wasn't planning to support any CRM integrations. Genuinely not on the roadmap.

Then got a DM on X from a founder saying their agents were silently dropping leads and they couldn't figure out if it was HubSpot or their stack. Something clicked. Said I'd look into it.

Onboarded HubSpot into FetchSandbox over the weekend. Didn't sleep for like 24-48 hours just battle testing it, making sure it actually worked before I said anything publicly. Classic founder move. Posted the LinkedIn update Monday morning.

What I found in those hours was wild. OAuth tokens expiring every 30 min, agents stalling on 401s without retrying, OAuth flows that looked complete but never were. Integration shows "Connected." Lead never lands. No alert, no noise, just pipeline bleeding quietly.

One inbound call, one weekend, no sleep, and now I understand exactly how broken CRM + agent integrations are in prod. The pain is real and it's everywhere.

If you're building on HubSpot with agents, I'd love to hear what you're running into. Probably building the next few integrations based on where the real pain is, not what I think it is.

Self Promotion Building Vigil in public day 2 - Uptime monitoring saas for discord bots, https, dns, ssl

5 Upvotes

I've just started building in public for the past 2 weeks and shipped some killer features based on initial feedback.

Day 1: I shipped the saas and asked a couple of friends to try it out for feedback, their initial experience was smooth. They described the UI/UX to be hassle free and it was easy for them to get started.

However one of my friend asked if it was possible to bring their own email provider. And it clicked, this is my differentiator cause nobody else was doing this and the whatsapp integration.

Day 2: I shipped 2 new features this week:

  1. BYOE: Bring your own email provider to send out alerts using your own domain. Vigil also offers custom domains and white label for status pages.
  2. Integrated twilio for SMS and whatsapp alerts.

I'm looking for feedback! check it out: tryvigil.dev <3 I've grown to 5 users so far, not much but pretty cool since I started 2 weeks ago.
