## The problem

Copying status from one tool to another is the kind of chore that makes you resent your job.

## How Plexii handles it

Receive from a URL gives the desk its own web address; what another service sends lands on the desk and flows along wires. Send to a URL tells another service when a widget changes.

In short: Give a desk its own web address. Builds, forms and other services can post to it, and the update flows into your tables.
