Honestly I have not found it to be as robust as Keboola but that might just be me archiving my e-mails before it completes it 15 minute poll.  The second use case I am working on is the pulling in Strava data, for a fitness dashboard the fact it has a built in connector for Strava is great, though I am worried given the activities I do that I might reach the limit.  I won't go into details on how to set things up but you can setup 5 Zaps that can run for a combined 100 runs during a month for free.  In my data platform / solution I am using Zaps to load harder to get / automate data.
