š Scenarios
Make calls them Scenarios. Zapier calls them Zaps. Microsoft Power Automate calls them Flows. Whatever you want to call it - it's an automation!
š Connectors
These services allow you to connect to tons of applications like Outlook, Gmail, BambooHR, Notion, Twitter, etc. All you have to do is sign in to the connection. No API keys required!
š Templates
You can go into the templates section and see what's available to start using - here is what we see when we type in Microsoft 365 Excel (image below). Imagine being able to connect all your apps together to send data automatically.
- Automatically save documents off Outlook emails straight into OneDrive
- Automatically send an Outlook email to a new hire when they are added to BambooHR
- Automatically send YouTube videos to Twitter
