CoinGecko Integration
Overview
The CoinGecko integration allows you to fetch real-time cryptocurrency price data directly inside a Decimal workflow. It is commonly used for price monitoring, automation triggers, reporting, and downstream financial or Web3 actions.
This integration works as a node in the Decimal workflow editor and can be connected to any trigger or automation logic.
