Just like how you can use the tulip api to interface with tables, I think it would be very beneficial to be able to pull machine state and activity data via the API, for historical analysis and reporting.

Hi Steve,

Automations will be able to utilize machine attribute/activity changes that can be written to tables or to an API through a connector function call.

Sincerely,

Jake

Hi Jake

Thanks for the feedback. I think there is a defiantly a need to pull it into another application on demand, as opposed to having it be pushed by tulip. Thanks
