Unified.to Jan 2024 product updates
January 31, 2024
That's a wrap on the first month of the year. Here are the top launches of January plus some exciting company updates at the end.
1. New unified file storage API
We've extended our unified API categories to now include file storage. Integrate once to retrieve file data from multiple storage systems. The File object represents a file or folder and each File has a download_url field you can use to retrieve the contents.
After initially launching this category with the most popular cloud storage systems (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and more), we also added HubSpot and GitHub. Some of your customers store files in "unconventional" systems, so we're planning to add more of these.

2. Major webhooks enhancement
We launched a major update to our webhooks, which now make it easier for you to retrieve historical data, get more visibility into your webhook activity, monitor webhook health and have more control over the data you access. Unified.to's webhooks handle advanced data pulling mechanisms, including pagination, rate limits, and error handling with back-off and retry strategies.
3. New sandbox environment
Support for testing integrations has been a much-requested feature and very few third-party platforms offer test accounts. To simplify integration testing, we've introduced a new Sandbox environment that allows you to read and write data to any integration. To ensure data accuracy, we'll always return data in the format that the integration supports. Our Sandbox environment is best to use when you do not have a live customer using your integration, or you do not have a test account with the third-party platform. When you activate an integration in your Unified.to account, we'll automatically provision a Sandbox environment.
4. Connection health status
We added health status to your user connections, so you can monitor the health of your active user connections. Troubleshoot user connection errors by reviewing your API logs. You'll see the following statuses:
- New: A user connection has been recently established
- Healthy: Your user connection is functioning as expected
- Unhealthy: Your user connection has not seen a successful request
- Unhealthy now: Your user connection is currently experiencing an issue
