Library Release 9 - January 2021 (Pack & Ship, Events, API Connectors and more)

We’re excited to announce the 9th release of the Tulip Library!

The Library is a set of apps that can be added to your account and used out of the box. Each app comes with an installation guide, and a video describing how the app works and what it can be used for.

If there’s an app in this list that you’d like, reach out to Sarah (sarah@tulip.co) or contact us and we’ll get it added to your account and the documentation sent to you.

This can be used to track production performance of your work centers and replace manual methods like whiteboards. Try the app here.

Hello there :wave:

Some food for though : I found it a bit difficult to find apps linked to API connectors in the library. I believe they all have “Unit Test” in their names so I can search app called “Unit Test” but it would be great to have a dedicated category for example.
