I used to be the human API.

I used to be the human API.

Every Monday: export from HubSpot. Paste into Google Sheets. Reformat the columns. Copy to Looker Studio. Pray nothing broke.


Every. Single. Week.


I wasn't analyzing data. I was ferrying it. The living, breathing middleware between platforms that refused to talk to each other.


That's not a job. That's a glitch in the system.


Then I switched to Coupler.io. It connects everything automatically. HubSpot, Sheets, Looker, 400+ apps, synced on a schedule.

Now I'm not the glue anymore. I'm just a person with free time.
