Only supports resources available in Retool, not enough integrations
From 1 comment
I try it to say hi in slack, works well :D But, it looks like only support the resources in Retool. We need more.

This is cool. Is there a way to write custom integrations?
anandrmedia on HNHello, How would I make an integration for Retool that anyone in retool can use? Or are the integrations avaible to use created by retool?

Very interested in trying this, will probably wait until your python support is ready until I try it, but definitely like what I'm seeing.

Questions
How is this different from Zapier?
From 2 comments
We use Retool, but haven’t tried workflows. How is this different from Zapier? I see it’s more code-focused, but can’t you write code in Zapier too?
