Updates from the Parabola team
Today we’re announcing that Parabola has raised an $8m Series A led by Matrix Partners, bringing our total raised to just over $10m. Ilya Sukhar from Matrix is joining our board, and we're grateful for participation from Thrive Capital, Elad Gil, AngelPad, Merus Capital, Abstract Ventures, and individual investors.
Our CEO, Alex Yaseen, joined Shopify Expert Steve Hutt's eCommerce Fastlane podcast to talk about how Shopify stores such as Volcom, Great Jones, and UMZU are unlocking new levels of productivity through data automation.
We're wrapping up 2020 with some new features and offerings, and putting a bow on some projects that have been in the works for a while. Fresh visual update to steps, new Shopify features, updated find and replace, and more!
As the end of 2020 is quickly approaching, our whole team is heads down working to make steps even easier and more intuitive to use, improve the early experiences for new customers, and supplement all of that work with revised, consolidated educational resources to help all customers get more out of Parabola (more to come on this one very soon!).
It's been an exciting month at Parabola, with some major launches and various product improvements to show for it!First, we introduced out Facebook Ads Integration, which gives you the ability to pull in over 400 unique metrics from Facebook.
Our Shopify integration is officially out of beta and now available to all users! Not only that, but we also made some useful updates to make it easier to work with dynamic dates, to be able to filter for unfulfilled orders, and we improved the experience of pulling in order-level data. That's not all! We also added support for calculating and issuing refunds with our Send to Shopify step. Now you can take a list of items, and their orders, and issue refunds automatically.

My dad, brother-in-law's, and I are in a college football bowl game pick'em with over 180 other money-hungry football fanatics. The odds are low and the stakes are big. It's been a lot of fun to play the past 5 years, except there's one major downfall of running a remote pick'em contest: Excel.
I’m sharing my process of automatically translating Webflow blog posts using Google Translate and Parabola.
We're excited to be partnering with our friends at Bubble! We've added Bubble as a source and destination step for a smooth, easy integration for moving data to and from Bubble.

It was the end of May, and I had a simple question to answer: how much money were we spending on advertising each day across our three main channels?
When I joined Parabola in May I was eager to explore different use cases. Having just left Google’s hotel search team, travel was still top of mind.
This is exactly why we’re building Parabola. Think of it as a way to apply the benefits of coding without having to learn how to “code” as it’s defined today. But before we dive into exactly what Parabola is, let’s take a step back and look at the current state of the world.
I’ve always loved the concept, but the first version of the logo looked just a little too complex, and became unreadable at smaller sizes. Because of these issues, we decided to refine it.
How would you take your data from Stripe, dedupe, clean, and transform it based on a bunch of rules, enrich it with Clearbit, and push the results to Salesforce and Geckoboard? What would you do if you had to repeat the process every month, week, or day?
