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.
Task entity in your workspace
API key (hub-protocol.write), userId, workspaceId, profile slug (e.g. task)
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.
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.
Slack message with entity summary
API key, webhook or scheduled trigger, Slack connection
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.
Import a CSV → 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.
Multiple entities in Synap
API key, CSV source, profile slug and property mapping
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.
Generate a timeline from outline → events + view
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).
Events/tasks with dates, optional timeline view
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.
