Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...

Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.

Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.
