August 2025: API, Zapier, Task Progress Widget + More

Posted by Connor Bearse

We’ve been building and shipping nonstop all summer, with the latest big drop being the API + Zapier integration.

Sydnee has been growing faster than ever, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all of our users – both longtime supporters and everyone who has recently given us a try.

Here’s what’s new!

API + Zapier Now Available

Connect Sydnee to the rest of your stack (finally)!

Create accounts, add clients, send requests, and even auto-attach task templates – all without lifting a finger.

💡 Create an API key, check out the documentation, and join the invite-only Zapier integration in your company settings

New “Task Progress” Dashboard Widget

Keep clients (and your team) on track right from their dashboard.

  • Display progress bars for any task section
  • Click through directly to the tasks that matter
  • Give your clients a crystal-clear view of where projects stand

💡 Enable progress tracking by turning on the “Progress Bar” option inside any task section

More Control Over Widgets

Make your client dashboards work exactly how you want:

  • Reorder widgets globally (or per account)
  • Hide widgets you don’t need
  • Rename widgets for clarity

Save your configuration so every new account starts with your preferred layout.

Simpler + More Powerful Embed System

Sydnee’s embed system just leveled up – making it easier to drop in your favorite tools and customize them without touching code.

  • Set height & width without touching code
  • Preview embeds before publishing
  • Add descriptions for clarity
  • Support for advanced embeds requiring custom scripts

Recently Uploaded Files on Dashboard

Now you (and your clients) can quickly scroll through the most recent uploads right from the dashboard.

Misc Features

  • Bulk add accounts/users (up to 20 at once)
  • Preview audio files directly in the file manager
  • Toggle background colors for cleaner thumbnails in gallery view

We’re excited for you to try out these new features and can’t wait to see what you build with them.
