The Zapier integration does 3 things - you can Trigger it via a webhook using the sample Applescript provided and a SmartRule (it uses tags to select which Zap you want to trigger) then you can pass data to any Zapier app. Personally I have been using which is a terrific low-code front-end builder for creating a GUI front-end to access MongoDB and other databases. But if you set up a MongoDB database (which can be done on the Mongo free tier) then the API will do a 1-way sync of your DT3 metadata to MongoDB that then opens up the floodgates to infinite possibilities for building your own web app to access your local DT3 database. In simplest form, the API itself has a bulit-in web app which lets you upload or download files to/from DT3 via the Internet. You can use the API by itself if you want to use the Zapier integration then you must also have the API installed. If you would prefer to install the Zapier integration as your own app, just let me know and I will add you to the private Github repository where that is stored. I have also included a link for you to request access to the installed Zapier integration note that the Zapier integration lets you enter the URL and other credentials for your own API and Zapier does not share that with me so there is no security issue beyond what you have with any other Zapier app. The link to the Github repository for the API is below. I am glad to share this with others - with the request that this be for non-commercial use and that you share back any edits or tweaks or tricks you develop with it. It lets me keep the unique and unparalleled benefits of a desktop DT3 app and local data storage but also have the benefits of a web app. To me this solves a long-running goal to be able to access my data when away from my main computer (beyond what DT3 Server and Devonthink to Go can do) and to more easily create custom reports and otherwise integrate DT3 with other apps. The concepts are mine – with help from a developer to implement it. I have implemented a working API for DT3 along with Zapier integration.
