00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,780
Welcome back.

2
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:02,770
So in this video we're talking about free connectors.

3
00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:12,060
So if we click on all connectors and go to standard connectors then you can see popular connectors recently

4
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:16,740
added connectors that are free and then standard connectors.

5
00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:17,180
OK.

6
00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:23,660
So you have the Microsoft connectors of course on top outlook SharePoint one drive for business.

7
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:32,550
Microsoft forms planner Microsoft teams outlook dot com RSS feed power by one no business notifications

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:42,210
Office 365 users Google Calendar approvals Twitter Excel online business mail Microsoft to do Gmail

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:49,210
Amazon weather outlook tasks Dropbox Treloar and Facebook to name a few and we'll do a more role here.

10
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:57,090
We got project online Instagram file system FTB Google Drive Wonder List Yammer and slack.

11
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:04,470
So those are some of the free connectors that you can use inside of power automate which again it gives

12
00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:10,590
you even more customization for all the different Office 365 applications.

13
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:18,420
So what I really like about the connectors is it gives you do a bit the ability to expand the applications

14
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:22,490
to even more automation.

15
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,330
So there's a lot of tasks that you can automate so you don't have to do these repetitive tasks all the

16
00:01:27,330 --> 00:01:28,120
time.

17
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:34,890
So any tasks that you repetitively really are doing make a note of it and try to make a flow that will

18
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:35,670
do it for you.

19
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:37,500
So you don't have to keep doing it over over again.

20
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,410
I compare this to in photoshop.

21
00:01:40,410 --> 00:01:41,720
They have actions.

22
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,640
So in Microsoft they called flows and Photoshop the court actions and basically actions are the same

23
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,690
thing as a flow.

24
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:53,480
It's an automated process of doing the same similar task over and over again.

25
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,950
So let's say that in photoshop I create a new file I create a background and I give it a color.

26
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:01,760
That's just a really easy example.

27
00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:03,630
But let's say that you do this over and over again.

28
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:10,050
If you create an action you can run that action and do it over and over again and automatically do it

29
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:10,830
for you.

30
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:18,140
So to automate it so that you don't have to keep doing the same thing over and over again so I definitely

31
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:25,470
see the value in that because I find myself doing things that are repetitive and if I could not optimize

32
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:32,390
but automate that process so that I'm not doing it as much and get more work done then it's a win for

33
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:32,870
me.

34
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:33,370
All right.

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,100
So that's free connectors.

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,110
So thanks for watching.

37
00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:37,010
I'll see in the next video.
