Front API

Front App is the shared inbox for teams.

Use the Front Connector

Add the front connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the front API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.

const { workflow } = require("zenaton")

module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
  const front = this.connector(
    'front',
    'connector-id')

  const response = yield front.get('path_to_API')
  const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
  yield front.post('path_to_API', params)
})

The Zenaton Engine

We handle the complexity of orchestrating Front API calls and related logic in your code.

Out of the Box API Call

Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.

Automatic Retries & Alerting

If your Front API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting

View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed Front API calls.

Integrate Front into your application logic

The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the Front API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.

const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
  const front = this.connector(
    'front',
    'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
  );
    // Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
    const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
    if (event) {
      // If event has been triggered within 24 hours
      yield this.run.task('TaskA');
    } else {
      // else calls front API
      yield front.get('path_to_API');
    }
  }
});

// The Zenaton engine orchestrates front API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");

  const front = this.connector(

  const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
  if (a > b) {
