Packs let you connect your doc to apps you use to design, code, and communicate. So you can make docs as powerful as apps.

Super excited for this launch. I've been following Coda since the early days and am really excited to see the vision come to fruition. Coda is just as useful for personal docs and tracking as much it is for work. I've used it for various things at home, including creating fun systems for my kids.
I'm pumped about the addition of packs - it gives me the power to do things via other apps that I use in my daily life and even more excited about what we can build by connecting even more great services together.
In addition to using Coda for roadmap planning at Intercom (see Matt's comment above) we're also using it to track partnerships (like a lightweight CRM)! It's been such a big help and packs cover that last mile between your Coda docs and other systems you use without having to resort to coding against APIs.
The Intercom pack in specific has allowed us to track progress of our partners and then seamlessly connect with partners via Intercom in-app messages. 😍
Congrats to the team on a fantastic launch!
This is a fantastic addition to Coda, check it out if you haven't already. Being able to centralise and sync data and not end up in a copy/paste nightmare is really useful, speeds up workflows, and places Coda at the centre for a lot of processes.

Congrats to the team on launching an extremely powerful tool! Packs could become the single biggest reason to use Coda. It essentially "normalizes" information across a variety of data source on the Internet, giving you the ability to do truly unique things in Coda docs that aren't just possible with basic tools.

Coda is already one of my favorite tools that enables creation of powerful app-like experiences with the familiar and simple paradigm of docs and tables.
With Packs, Coda gets supercharged by easily connecting with popular external services such as Slack, Github and Intercom. This opens up brand new use cases to create simple workflow and project management tools to better aligns teams, provide more transparency, and more easily get shi--things done. Check out the examples--you'll be impressed.
Pros:
- Extends the power of Coda w integrations to popular external services
- Elegantly designed integrations makes adding new services simple
I've been waiting for Coda Packs for a long time. Thank you for making this happen!
Benefits:
We can start using Coda to build our own mini-applications that interact with the outside world without developing a single line of code.
What I am missing:
These packs: Webhooks, Webhooks, Webhooks, Stripe, Hubspot, Google Sheets.

Ever find yourself opening up a hundred tabs, copying and pasting the exact right information or paragraph between tabs into your spreadsheet and then realize you got the wrong paragraph and now you need to rework the whole table?
Packs are an incredibly powerful tool, where Coda did the heavy lifting for you. Packs essentially "normalize" data from the internet and turn it into something useful that you can do something with.
One simple example.. I spent weeks building a dashboard in Google Sheets of data pulled for multiple public stocks that were relevant to our company.
With Coda Packs, I built the basics of what I had created in less than 10 minutes.
Imagine being able to do this for every type of data that you interact with. It's an extremely powerful way to create the "tools" you need to make decisions particularly when the apps you use don't quite give you the report you exactly need or when you need to combine data from multiple different apps.

Pros:- put an end to a million tabs

Cons:- need more documentation on Pack APIs!
