Who are your audience here? I’m trying to figure out whether this is some Zapier/Integromat type of tool, but the emphasis on more “high volume” integrations and scenarios is interesting.

I’m personally just doing some simple workflows with Gitlab-to-Telegram etc, and I have to say that I find it quite difficult to accomplish that what I consider “medium complexity” stuff: one Gitlab push event has multiple commit messages, I want to iterate over them for formatting, and then collect all of them in a single Telegram message.

Unfortunately, the sheer fact that I’m not “allowed” to write any code makes the solution so much more complex; debugging what’s wrong is a nightmare, and generally it all just leaves a bad feeling behind.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m paying for this service because I get value out of it, but it feels as if the devil is in the details if you want to pull this off.

Our focus is on helping developers and product teams build integrations between their core product and 3rd party services. "Medium complexity" is a good way to describe it - you can accomplish a good amount on Paragon without writing code, but if you need to write a custom function to go the last mile, you can.
