Super interesting - curious to hear about why you decided to build the integrations yourselves versus using an embedded iPaaS (I am one of the founders of one so always curious). Congrats on supporting more than 100 integrations!

The iPaaS landscape was a bit more sparse back in 2015 when we started. And we hoped the breadth of integrations was always going a differentiating factor for us--something we wanted to have full control over.

Ultimately I think it was the right choice. There are enough minor but value-adding modifications we've needed to make over the years that I doubt an iPaaS could provide.
