CLI Tools
PlaidCloud provides three command-line and on-machine tools for working with workspaces outside the web UI:
PlaidLink
Section titled “PlaidLink”PlaidLink is an agent that runs inside your network to bridge PlaidCloud workflows to firewall-protected resources — databases, file shares, and other systems that PlaidCloud can’t reach directly. It installs as a Windows service, Unix/Linux/Mac daemon, container, or Kubernetes pod.
PlaidXL
Section titled “PlaidXL”PlaidXL is the PlaidCloud add-in for Microsoft Excel. It retrieves project tables and dimensions into worksheets, refreshes them on demand, and adds PLAIDXL formulas that calculate rolled-up values from PlaidCloud data.
