Tandem
Exciting opportunity to develop a workflow builder built from day one for integrating custom APIs.
Many competitors lack the white glove onboarding and support offered by Tandem's founder.
There are many potential errors that can crop during an API spec import.
Schema mapping is a complex but necessary task when integrating two APIs. Less technical users may need some level of guidence.
The core experience of the product is creating and testing workflows. For low-code tools a visual workspace where users can create actions and make connections is a common pattern. We focused on making the these interactions feel natural and discoverable. We also needed find a way to communicate the required schema mapping tasks users need to complete after a connection is made.
The most complex task users are required to complete is the schema mapping exercise. In order for data to flow smoothly from one API to another users must specify the corresponding field in the second API. And to make things even more complex these fields often are of different formats and adaptations are often required for these APIs to successfully pass data (AI recommendations coming soon!).
We worked hand in glove with the Tandem team to fully understand the technical requirements and iterated until we landed on a concept we all felt confident in.
