I ran across Fusionmint and it seems to be a real contender to the mainstay, Globiflow at first glance....but, it has the ability to connect to a few external cloud-based staples like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Has anyone had experience with it? Would you consider it a way to augment Globiflow or replace it?

  Webhooks, item update, share, comment, PDF, email, CMS, tables, css, Excel export; you name it. GlobiFlow rules....

  FWIW, I've been using GlobiFlow for years now, and don't think any other offer can even come close to “replacing” it as far as PODIO is concerned. Other connectors may help though (Zapier, Webmerge, Fusionmint, whatever), but these can't replace GlobiFlow.

  Thanks for the response @Adrien! After getting a chance to play with Globiflow more extensively, I totally agree...what an amazing tool. I'm especially fond of the webhooks feature...as Zapier won't allow you to update the status of a Podio item.

  Now that its more difficult for single-user Podio guru to take advantage of Globiflow automations as a result of the stringent pricing changes...Has anyone seen something similar to Globiflow to offer the same tools and features? Is fusionmint a good second?

  I have been using Fusionmint for importing wide excel spreadsheets on a daily basis to Podio.  This is a huge timesaver for something that cannot easily be done in any other way that I know of.

  I can export data from a legacy tool, save to a local computer and then update (manage versions) a file in a google drive and after that Fusionmint takes care of the rest. Within about 15 minutes the data has been imported. Doing the import manually would be very error prone because each time I would have to manually select perhaps 20 fields by drag/drop in the podio import ....
  
  When I tried to do this manually I found it far to easy to accidentally try to import a file to the wrong app, or to fail to indicate which fields are to be used as keys (to avoid duplicates).

  So for this particular case fusionmint is essential.  It's certainly not a Globiflow replacement, but besides the use I have there are other sophisticated capabilities that might be very useful as well.
