Episode 6: Integrations

In this episode we investigate "Integrations" — specifically, how can integrating tools that are the best at what they do give you the data you need to grow your business?

Integrations are connections between your software tools that allow them to exchange information from one another. Integrations are critical because there is no magical, "all-in-one" software tool that can do everything for you. Different tools specialize in different things. And you want the ones that are the best at what they do for your situation and unique business case.

Early in the episode you'll learn about 3 different ways to integrate your software tools:
- Native
- 3rd Party
- Custom API

You'll hear from Sophia Sithole, partner manager at Zapier, who explains 3rd party integrations and the different benefits they can bring to your business.

We then turn our attention towards how integrations help you improve the customer experience, your day-to-day functions, and ultimately how they help you grow and develop your business.

Throughout the episode you'll hear from featured guests as they discuss various aspects of the importance of software integrations, and how they can help you provide a better customer experience.

We sat down with Neha Varshneya, Senior Manager of platform marketing at Thinkific, to discuss the recent launch of the Thinkific App Store, integrations that help course creators and entrepreneurs, and to discuss the different tools that Thinkific uses and integrates in their own tech stack.
