For example, you can transfer order data to CRM or Google Sheets, send it as notifications to yourself or to a group of managers. This way you can automate the process of processing data, such as orders, with the help of the different services that you use as efficiently as possible.

Next, go to the Apix-Drive system and click "Continue".

Note! After setup, our system will not immediately have test data and a list of fields, because nothing has come to the new URL yet.

It is necessary to make an event, for example, fill out a form on your website or make a test order.

After that, at the Check stage in the Data Source, fields with data will displayed.

If this does not happen, click "Load test data from 
Webhook (source)" or repeat the test data generation, or wait for a while, the data does not come immediately, but within 1 minute.
