Solution	SynapseFI uses Postman for their complete API development workflow, which includes building requests, creating specific API environments, and using test scripts. Postman's sharing features, such as the Team Library, have proven to be extremely beneficial for team collaboration. The Team Library allows team members to subscribe to shared collections of APIs, share collections and environment templates, and see the activity feed. When a developer modifies a collection, other team members can see the activity feed and explore the changes before an official feature deployment. SynapseFI also uses Postman for a variety of internal and external training scenarios. They use Postman to onboard new hires and get them up to speed on the SynapseFI API. Postman is also used to train non-technical members of the team about the basics of APIs. In addition to onboarding new team members, the CEO uses Postman to introduce new features to the team during biweekly training sessions. Read More Log in to view content
