Among these is the \u003cem\u003eWatch Views\u003c\/em\u003e API endpoint. This particular endpoint enables developers to subscribe to changes in views, which are predefined filters in Podio Apps—essentially, it allows an application to be notified when the data that matches a specific view has changed. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n There are several use cases for which the Watch Views API endpoint can be particularly beneficial.

For instance, when a view in Podio containing important seller leads is updated, this can trigger an automatic update in a connected CRM system, ensuring that the sales team always has the latest information.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotification Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n The endpoint can be used to develop notification systems that alert users when data changes.
