This application is the perfect example of a well executed and documented API. In less than 10 mins, set up, web hook done, and first render! Mike Maberry, Gunslinger.dev
The API had good examples and was straight forward to setup, and most importantly dev support was quick and helpful. Once our integration was setup we could leave it do its thing and have not had any real problems since. Adam Chubbuck, Software Engineer
