Hey Jordan,
  There isn’t yet a community of add-on developers, but I have started a top 10 wishlist in the API sub-forum - http://norada.com/forums/viewforum/13/
  I know that there is a growing demand at least from people i’m working (and my own instance of solve) for API integration that i’d be willing to pay-in for to develop.
  Especially mailchimp.
  The API is really well documented and seems very easy to move forward on,
cheers

Hi Jordan,  In order for clients to customize the service to meet their specific requirements and set the stage for developers to create value by integrating additional components / services last month we released the Solve360 API.

We have a rapidly growing community of users, some of which are seeking help to develop extra features, data management utilities and integration with their own apps and other online services as per Adrian’s example.  We’re mainly focused on improving the core service and would be happy to refer clients to quality and responsive third party options as many of these initiatives are best provided by developers that focus on providing client solutions.

We’ve already developed a few great example scripts that can help get started quickly and have more that we’ll be posting soon.

PS: I’d recommend adding a post to the “Introduce Yourself” section with your website / contact information so anyone interested in contacting you knows how to reach you.

@adrian - great list! Mailchimp is also our preferred email marketing client.

@SpecialOps - I’m excited watching your product grow, thanks for the assistance in finding developers!

I could look through mailchimp campaign reports all day.

I have poked around a bit in the mailchimp jungle http://jungle.mailchimp.com/ but just haven’t had time to formally put together a request for an API guy there.

The other thing I was wondering is if it is possible to use the contact form on a website to do multiple things while adding a new contact - so if you create a field on the contact form that says “about your project,“ then whatever gets filled out there becomes the description of a new opportunity.

Anything to cut down the amount of clicks can really speed things up - so instead of just adding a new contact, it also builds the opportunity.

The API enables you to do almost anything you need when posting a “contact form on a website” to Solve e.g. specify owner, add category tags, populate custom fields, add activities and very soon add templates.
