If you haven’t heard, we now have the ability to execute REST API within a calculation script. Not only does that mean we can interact with other environments and do things in calculations we couldn’t do before, we also have the ability to interact with any provider that has REST. You could pull current prices for products from Amazon. You could see how many open box items there are at area Best Buy stores. You could pull in currency rates. That doesn’t even touch on the things like DM processes, metadata updates, and application refreshes. You can even send emails!
