    New on API Evangelist
    • Add Webhooks To Your Product And Recover Failed Deliveries With Svix — A big customer asks whether your product can notify their system the moment an order ships. Your engineers say yes, then quote you weeks of work, because sending the message turns out to be the easy part.

    • Control Who Sees Your Data, Manage Warehouses And Run AI Models With Snowflake — A new analyst starts on Monday and can’t see the sales tables until someone files a request. A departing contractor still has access nobody remembered to remove.

            • API Evangelist Conversation with Reza Shafii, Product Executive At Kong — My friend Emanual had tagged me in one of Reza’s posts on LinkedIn about API integrations being dead, so I invitied Reza to come over and explain more about what he meant. I knew the title was bait, but I was interested in hearing Reza’s argument and after the conversation it is clear that he’s done a lot of thinking at this intersection and wasn’t just adding to the AI hype.
              • FAQ

                            • Automate Branch Cleanup And Push Notifications With GitLab — If you manage a software team, you have seen the repository that nobody tidies: hundreds of old branches, release branches someone forgot to protect, and a chat channel that never hears about a push until somebody complains. Those are housekeeping jobs, and housekeeping is exactly what software is good at.
                            • Automate Ecommerce Email Campaigns And Segment Shoppers With Omnisend — If you run an online store, you already know the email that earns money: the welcome note to a new subscriber, the campaign to people who bought last spring, the reminder to someone who left a cart. The hard part is keeping your subscriber list, your product catalog and your campaigns in step with what is actually happening in the store.

                              • Vercel: The MCP Server Now Takes Feedback From the Agent — Vercel’s changelog entry of October 23 adds a submitfeedback tool to the Vercel MCP server: a way to send bug reports, friction reports and feature requests to the Vercel team directly from an agent or harness.

SMKlog does that comparison for you, and it also offers it as an API, a way for your own software, or an AI assistant, to ask for the prices directly.
                                                                            • Manage Products, Orders, And Coupons For Your Online Store With WooCommerce — If you run an online store on WordPress, a lot of your week probably goes to the same chores: adding products, fixing a price on a variation, creating a coupon for a promotion, looking up a customer, and chasing down an order that needs a refund. Doing that by hand in an admin screen works until the store grows.
