💡 Tips
Tip 1: Always test
Before trusting an integration, test that it works.
Tip 2: Periodic manual backup
Even if you have integrations, do monthly export to Excel.

❓ Frequently asked questions
"Can I integrate with any program?"
If it has API or accepts file import, probably yes.
"Are the integrations automatic?"
Depends. Some are automatic (webhooks), others require manual export.
"Do I need a programmer to use the API?"
For simple things, no. For complex integrations, yes.
"Is it safe to give out my API token?"
Only to reliable services. The token gives access to your data.
