Out of the box, Podio/Podio Workflow Automation has a perfectly serviceable send email action — if you don’t mind generic, Podio branding.
This Sway details how a much more complex flow in Podio Workflow Automation coupled with waiting webhooks in Zapier can get that email template sent via Gmail — and then the merged content saved as an item in its own Podio app as well.

The Podio Product Roadmap call on the 19th was perhaps a little less impressive than I had hoped for. But I must confess that I like the colors on the UX Beta. And I’ll have to retire my well-worn, well-recieved line about how in a cloud platform industry on innovation overdrive, there stands the Podio User Interface, as if frozen in Amber.
My Wine & Spirits Importer Client project is moving ahead steadily. The data model for SKUs, Brands, Wineries & Varietals is coming together nicely, as is a Globiflow automation that looks up the producer based upon brand terms (sometimes 1:1 more often 1:many). Researching all the terms takes the time; adding it to Podio is what triggers the iterative search over the hundreds of SKUs.

One of Podio’s longstanding weaknesses has been dashboards and business intelligence visualizations. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover this app, ChartGrids.com
By drilling down through Podio Org to Workspace to the App whose data you want to visualize, you can combine charts from different apps into a dashboard. Right now it’s only bar charts. But area charts, pie charts and donughts charts are on their way.
It’s nice to see for real that there are Podio users who are not in the Real Estate Industry.
Today on-ramping and securing my Google Workplace UserID. Next week: low-code platform integration planning and Podio customization.
Some growth would appear to have taken place.
Go figure. Here’s the new one.
My biggest client these days is a real estate investor who monitors Open Data feeds for investment ideas to add to the funnel and evaluate on the basis of reported information.
We’re using Podio to house all the data, and Globiflow, Procfu Scripts, and integromat to acquire, transform, and move data around.

And I guess it’s about time to update this Podio Overview from a few years’ back. How much I’ve learned since then.
