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)

Good evening!

I liked the course as usual.

I discovered a lot of useful things that have ALREADY been applied in practice both in my account and with our clients.

Although the first part of the course was very simple for me.

And as usual, the main problem was and is to find time among routine tasks to do homework.

Мы на предприятии запустили в опытно-промышленную эксплуатацию функционал «Фиксация обращений», который являет собой сочетание созданного Телеграмм чат-бота и план-фикса. Хоть чат-бот и не реализован так как мы учили на занятиях (его делал наш программист), но без тех знаний и наработок которыми я овладела на Вашем курсе, я не смогла бы сделать процесс в ПФ таким классным.

6 июня у нас начнется вторая фаза запуска большой ERP-системы на предприятии и у нас будет шквал обращений, которые ранее не могли обрабатываться с такой же системностью, как это будет сейчас, благодаря функционалу ПФ и, конечно, знаний, полученных на Вашем курсе и при выполнении домашек. :)))

Спасибо Вам огромное Степан.

p.p.s. Помимо этого у меня появилась еще целая гора идей по доработке всех процессов реализованных в ПФ и это воодушевляет. :)))

Юлия, Степан, добрый день) Пишу общий отзыв по всему курсу, и в самом начале хотел выразить благодарность за вашу проделанную работу, за вашу стойкость, помощь во всех заданиях и разъяснения. Это сильно развивает комьюнити Планфикса, аналогов таких курсов нет, а может и есть, но я такие не встречал, да и не искал, признаюсь честно)

Курс очень емкий, и местами видно, что сложновато было уместить какой-то блок в одну лекцию. Скажу сразу, чтобы не томить, курс превзошёл все мои ожидания)

Первая лекция — это то, что заставило меня посмотреть на мир, под другим углом, именно оформление процессов, их документация через Комунду и ИксМайнд шикарный опыт и это маст хэв в работе админа. Документировать процессы нужно обязательно, ведь когда их уже более 25, то можно запутаться на раз два, а держать всё в голове, просто невозможно)

Шикарные лекции Пасрин, вебхуки, JSON, GDS, API, Telegram. Это то, ради чего стоит пройти курс, много нового и интересного сразу выделил для себя, чтобы упростить и автоматизировать работу в компании.

Я даже думаю, что людям, которые ток познают ПФ и пришли на курс с базовыми знаниями, может показаться слишком сложным. Курс достаточно объемный, честно, вчера я был приятно удивлен, что закончил его первым, в голове были мысли, что я последний) Но видимо и правда, на курс пошло очень много новичков, которые всячески натыкаются на ловушки и нюансы, в этом я уверен на 100%.

И я считаю, что это хорошо, что курс устроен так, что всё идет по нарастающей, с каждым ДЗ всё больше нюансов, которые вы открываете человеку и заставляете его копаться в ПФ, ведь ПРО Админ должен знать всё, до мельчайших мелочей, чего только стоит домашка с ДР, такая мелочь, а при помощи этого можно построить много нового (в ПФ это и правда скрыто на дне, надо смотреть очень внимательно).

Человек, который пройдет весь курс от начал и до конца, будет достаточно силён в ПФ, в этом я уверен!!! Самая большая проблема — это пробный период в ПФ, который они дают на месяц. Я думаю, вы постараетесь решить эту проблему, но единственное решение — это если ПФ сделает подписку для всех курсантов на 2 месяца, а не на 1 (хотя я уверен, что многим и 2 месяцев, может не хватить, у моего второго аккаунта осталось 5 дней)). Из-за того, что часть домашек в одном, а другая часть уже в новом, легко запутаться, но тут ничего не поделать, как я уже говорил вышел, курс объемный и жаловаться на это, уж явно нельзя)

Следующая проблема — это проверка домашек, поскольку их по 2-3 штуки на каждую лекцию, что тоже является несомненным плюсом, ведь раскрывается больше нюансов. Их проверка, требует большей оперативности) Я бы поставил некий дедлайн на дз для курсантов, которые хотят оперативного ответа, например, если дз сделано до 18-00 и отправлено, то его проверят сегодня, если после 18, то ответ уже будет на следующий день. Мб этим методом можно как-то ускорить процесс прохождения курса. Но тут честно скажу не столько вопрос к проверяющим, сколько к объемам ДЗ, которые нужно проверить, может быть нужен еще один помощник, который будет заниматься проверкой.

P.S. Пишу это и понимаю, что сложно угодить всем, на курсе 30 человек, кто-то отсылает ДЗ в час ночи, кто-то в 8 утра, все это делают в удобное для себя время, также есть человеческий фактов, когда человек хочет отдохнуть.

Как я уже писал неоднократно ранее, курс очень объемный, как для проверяющих, так и для студентов. Встретить человека, который делает все в срок, без ошибок и заканчивает курс до 28 марта, невозможно, ведь все мы люди)

Ну и в заключении добавлю, что от курса я получил только положительные эмоции, под конец, честно скажу, было тяжеловато, но я не унывал) И пытался снова и снова, дойти до самого конца. Самое главное, что я хотел получить от курса — это более системный взгляд, чтобы всё упорядочить. И я это получил — это очень хороший опыт.

Еще раз благодарен Вам за его разработку, желаю терпения, сил и, верно сделанных домашек)
