The Peliqan low-code Python environment provides single line functions to interact with APIs from connected SaaS applications. These functions abstract away the complexities of working with a specific API (authentication, error handling etc).

Here’s an example to write a contact to Hubspot (CRM):

hubspot_api.add('contact', {"email": "[email protected]", "name": "John Doe"})

And here’s an example to send a message to Slack:

slack_api.add('message', channel = 'QA', text = 'Data quality alert')

Use cases: data activation

The Peliqan SaaS API wrapper functions can be used for various use cases. We refer to these use cases as “Data Activation”. Here are a few examples:

• Send alerts to Slack

• Send an email with a report attached

• Write data to a Google Sheet

• Add a contact to a CRM such as Hubspot or Salesforce

• Create an invoice in an accounting system

• Import a CSV file

• Writebacks from the data warehouse to SaaS applications

• Data syncs (Reverse ETL, custom data pipelines, custom data exports etc.). More info:
