v2 of the integration was released :)
This includes support for 2 new triggers (task complete / task created)
The triggers are also real-time so should be instant regardless of Zapier plan.
I'm marking this complete for now but please feel free to open a new feedback item if you have other triggers/actions you would like supported!

Is there a chance we’ll get an API to call or will all non-standard integrations need to go through Zapier?
Chris
Shawn: Hey Shawn, sent you an email a few days ago about the API access in case you haven't seen it!
Posting here for anyone else reading this that you can reach out to me (chris@aloa.co) to get API access!
Will actually try to flesh out the API a bit more and make it available to everyone soon :)
Chris
Thanks for your patience everyone!
I ran into a few issues getting this out but finally have a public beta available that anyone can try out :)
You can install the beta by following this link: https://zapier.com/apps/ellie/integrations
and a new guide has been published on how to use it here: https://guide.ellieplanner.com/features/zapier-integration
The integration contains the ability to create/update Ellie tasks
Please comment or email me if you find any issues. And THANK YOU to everyone who helped test this so far 🙏

Chris: This is awesome! Also Ellie is beautiful and I can’t wait to integrate it into my favorite programming project!

Andrew
Chris: With the current API is there a way to add a task with an estimated duration in hours? Also it would be great if the REST or similar interface Zapier uses to call Ellie could be documented so I could call it from a programming language. You probably have a lot of other stuff you’re working on, so no pressure!
Chris
Nathan: 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Chris
Andrew: Appreciate that Andrew :)
On the estimated duration in Zapier there is not, but taking notes on what fields people want + what use cases people have for the v2 of Zapier!
The API itself does have this actually 😉
Happy to give you API access if you want to play around with it, just need to polish things up documentation wise for you. What are you thinking of building with it?

Karina
Chris: thank you for creating this beautiful app! will it be possible to complete the task in a source app too when it's done in Ellie? not sure if zapier is right for two-way integrations though
Chris
Karina: Appreciate that!
Next iteration of the zapier integration will support Ellie as a trigger so you can do exactly that :)
So you can do do X when Y happens in Ellie

Andrew
Chris:Thanks for your response! Feel free to email me and I can tell you more about my project over email if you’re curious. I’d love to get API access.
Chris
