Recipes

Outcome-based flows that map to real use cases. Each recipe describes what you get, what you need, and how to wire it with your Data Pod API.

  • Create a task when a form is submitted

    Use a form tool (Typeform, Google Forms, n8n form trigger) to create a task entity in Synap with a single POST /entities call.

    What you get: Task entity in your workspace

    Needs: API key (hub-protocol.write), userId, workspaceId, profile slug (e.g. task)

  • When entity updated, notify Slack

    Configure a webhook in Synap (when available) or poll/trigger from n8n after Synap operations, then send a message to Slack.

    What you get: Slack message with entity summary

    Needs: API key, webhook or scheduled trigger, Slack connection

  • Import a CSV into entities

    Parse CSV in n8n/Make, map columns to entity fields, then loop and call POST /entities for each row. Use type (profile slug) and properties for custom fields.

    What you get: Multiple entities in Synap

    Needs: API key, CSV source, profile slug and property mapping

  • Generate a timeline from an outline

    Use an LLM to turn headings/outline into dated items, then create entities (e.g. event or task) with date properties. Optionally create a view (via app or future API).

    What you get: Events/tasks with dates, optional timeline view

    Needs: API key, LLM node, outline source, profile with date field

Setup

Create an API key in Settings → API Access (scopes hub-protocol.read, hub-protocol.write). Use the Quickstart for POST /entities and other endpoints. For n8n/ActivePieces, add an HTTP Request node with your Pod base URL and Bearer token.

More recipes are coming, including downloadable n8n/ActivePieces flow exports and step-by-step “test” instructions for each one. Need a specific recipe? Tell us via support or your account manager.
