Tips & Tricks: Magic Dash

The company overview page can be great to access and find quick and useful information as soon as you jump in to a company. One of the ways you can do this is through the customizable quick notes section, another is by utilizing Hudu's Magic Dash. Through the use of the Rest API, you can set up the magic dash to bring other useful information directly on the forefront of your company page. Below is an example of how the Magic Dash can look once it is set up.

We have set up scripts for the Magic Dash to bring in information like an internal client dashboard and a network diagram. In order to set up the Magic Dash, you can go to the API keys section in the Admin tab. In Hudu's API Documentation, we have a swagger page for running different commands in your Hudu instance and there is a section for the Magic Dash as well as various other items.

There are various areas where you can find information on running different scripts to achieve setting up the Magic Dash:
