Frequently asked questions
I don't know what an API is, is this useful for me?
Certainly. Think of an API as the connection line between Slimbot and your other systems. This overview simply shows whether those connections are working properly, without you needing to understand the technology.
Will I notice if an integration fails?
Yes, that's precisely the point. You see errors immediately in the overview and can set up a notification, so you intervene before customers are affected.
