A couple of months ago I was wondering how to set up communication using the API between two systems without having deep knowledge in programming.

I even took a Python express course and started an API course. But they don't say anything like that anywhere. At least I haven't learned anything new for myself.

Then I remembered Stepan's workshop, and using the method of scientific poke + the documentation of the PF and the Contour (I'm setting it up with them now) - a miracle happened)))

Yes, the great benefit of the workshop is that Stepan not only gives the text of the request, but also shows how to use the documentation to make a request, where to look. After that, it becomes much easier and clearer to use the documentation.

Slightly belated feedback on the workshop). Stepan analyzed a specific case (the establishment of a new employee). The APIs of PlanFix, Yandex, and another now-defunct password generation service were involved (this can now be done by Planfix).

What I liked. There was no stupid copy-paste, Stepan showed where and how to look at the desired method, what and how to copy from the documentation, what and where to correct.

The case that interested me (changing analytics) was also considered, accordingly showed where and what to look at, what and how to edit. Along the way, Postman was mastered).

The most important thing at the end of the Wordshop was not that Stepan showed how to send a request, it was shown what and where to look in the documentation, and how, in principle, to use it. He did not just give a fish to a starving man, but showed him where to get a fishing rod and taught him how to fish.

The first time the basic course was bought and not completed, due to my own workload, supported by a little laziness, in the summer of 2018. Then, from what I managed to pass, I could say that the course is good, it makes you think normally and it's exciting , you can learn a lot of new things.

Now, in the fall of 2022, there was a great desire to leave the telecom sphere for the IT sphere, the choice fell on PlanFix, since I have known him since 2017, and there is a very big prospect in it in terms of development, to the service as a whole)))

So. Compared to the 2018 course, the 2022 course has advanced and pumped very well. Sometimes I even wanted to “google” some solutions, but this is a unique course, so sit down and think and understand))). It's good that the tests. Not like this at university sessions)).

The course worked very well. First and foremost, think like a planfixer. Here is just a part of what you go through on tasks:

• task templates;
• analytics;
• references;
• automatic generation of book documents from templates;
• setting up a planner with a gantt chart;
• eisenhower matrix;
• setting filters for anything and everything.

After some tasks, you feel like a "mother's programmer"))) There is euphoria and you want more ... because there is power over the process)

In general, after wiping the snot, I can Definitely recommend to everyone:

• who wants to learn for themselves and move on to integrators;
• to companies that want or are thinking of moving to PlanFix, but do not understand how to train employees;
• to employees who already work at PF and want to upgrade their skills as a user;
• to employees of companies that do not have PlanFix implemented, but really want to organize their work routine and projects.

In general, everything, now I will take an advanced course.

Many thanks to Stepan and Yulia for their help and tips))

Hello!

You asked for feedback, we are writing)

First I will write why I took this course.

When I first got acquainted with Planfix in 2017 and tried to figure out how to set it up for the needs of our company, I didn’t come across videos and blogs from such a specialist as Stepan. And so our setup was “oh, well, at least it works somehow.”

Much later, I came across a video on Youtube from Stepan and was pleasantly surprised how the logic of building reasoning and processes works for a person. To be honest, I fell in love and took it as a standard) I set up something right in parallel under the video (yes, just like now after the lectures), I took note of something for future changes. Therefore, when I saw in the letter that there would be an advanced course from Stepan, I did not think for a long time.

It's great that the course is built the way you need to set up Planfix for the company in a good way. That is, first find out: what, who, with what and for what, and then automate business processes. Thanks to the course, our company got a Knowledge Base (before that, there were just instructions that were in the documents).

Thank you for making me think about such a seemingly simple and obvious solution. And thanks for the solution with the Call for Help button, it's also great that employees can now write instead of calling, just like in technical support.

In my opinion, the most common business processes were considered. From setting up workspaces for each department, creating deals "from and to", to internal processes of companies (such as the work of the HR department).

Yes, of course, I had to suffer) In excitement, I spent half the night on tasks: well, that's it ... now it will work out ... I'll test another hypothesis)

I really liked the answers to my questions from Yulia and Stepan, who did not give direct answers, but showed the vector of reasoning. A very warm attitude was felt.

I would like to scold, because this is the most valuable thing in feedback, but there is nothing to scold. The course is very well built (you wouldn't expect anything else).

Keep it up! You are awesome!

I would like to start the review with words of gratitude!

A huge THANK YOU to you, Julia and Stepan!

Thank you for the well-structured and capacious material that is presented so easily for assimilation. Without extra water and tediousness.

Thank you for all your advice and help with the homework, for your patience with them and for the fact that not a single question was left unanswered). For the fact that when you find yourself in a dead end, no one tells you how to do it, but they find words that start the thought process in a different direction and you sincerely don’t understand, well, it was difficult here.

When I studied at the institute, we had a professor who tested the first computers. He solved problems with a binary code in his head, in a word a genius, but he is not a lecturer from the word “completely”. It is not given to everyone to be able to express their thoughts and convey them, it seems to me that you did an excellent job with this.

During this course, you were a “kind mom” and a “wise dad” for me, for some reason you evoked these associations in me.

I have never met such curators who with such cadets would be treated with awe and care.

There were moments when I wanted to drop my hands and wave my hand, but it was in those moments that you came to the rescue. Thank you so much for this!

I can’t say that it was easy, I didn’t consider myself a beginner when I started training, but at the end I realized how much I didn’t know and probably there was still a lot to learn).

This is why I love Planfix: it is progressing, and you are with it.

And you are guides, and share invaluable experience, not theorists, but practitioners, and this is expensive in our world.

Well, I praise you endlessly, there were moments when I scolded you oh how)

When did I scold you? When it didn’t work out from the word “completely”, starting with reading the assignments. You sit at night and think, “People have a fantasy, it was necessary to come up with the same thing.”

What are only tasks with calculations, creations of employees and their birthdays =)

Oh, I forgot something else - the Workshop! Well, it's just a wonderful miracle!

You come with a question, you leave with the feeling that now you can do everything, well, maybe not everything, but a lot.

6 hours fly by like an hour of time, and at the same time you don’t get up from the table exhausted, but with great joy that you were there.

There is excellent help in PF, but you can’t talk to it, there is support that will never refuse to help, but there are things that are so close that you don’t even know about them, and then hop on a silver platter, yes all the secrets...

My kid would say you're Cool, and I agree with him. Guys, you are cool)
