In this video, we will provide an overview of Easyflow connectors, including both the partner and built-in connectors.

The connectors panel is located on the left side of the visual designer canvas. You can search for connectors using keywords, such as "Microsoft" or "Google", or you can navigate between tabs.
From the "Settings" tab, you can choose your preferred groups by clicking on the "+" signs. For example database, ecommerce & social groups. Accordingly, All your favorite groups will appear by default in the partner connectors first tab.
To add a connector like Google Analytics, drag and drop it onto the flow canvas. To see its list of operations, click the connector. Operations can be triggers, searches, actions, or events. Each operation can be configured according to your needs.

Regarding the built-ins connectors, there are three different groups of: services, tools and utilities, and function expressions.

Each connector has its own set of characteristics. For example, the webhook provides a URL that can be used within third party applications to send events to Easyflow.
Additionally, you can delete each connector from the designer canvas.
If we take the HTTP connector as an example, you can see that it provides the ability to connect to any application, even if it's not included in the predefined partner connectors list. This is a great way to extend the reach of your integration projects.
The Workflow connector allows you to connect to other flows built by Easyflow. These flows will act as sub-flows in your master workflow, which is useful when you have reusable logic that you want to use in many different workflows.
The delay connector allows you to set up waiting time between steps. For example, if you want to wait for a couple days before sending an email to a customer, you can do that with the delay connector.
The Send emails connector enables you to send emails through the STMP service.
Regarding the receive emails connector, it will allow you to receive email through IMAP settings.
The Loop connector can be used to iterate through a list of records, assuming the list is an array. The number of times the loop will iterate can be determined from the index length text box.

Make sure to "close the loop" as shown when configuring this connector by dragging a backward allow from the loop to the previous step.

The Mapper connector is one of the most powerful built-in tools in Easyflow. It allows you to build your data in JSON format with full flexibility, and supports any data format including text, numbers, and binaries.
For complex cases, it is highly recommended to prepare your JSON payloads in a mapper before sending them to the connector-specific steps.
The Mapper connector will serve as a temporary variable during a single workflow execution lifetime.

Easyflow offers a variety of function expression connectors to suit your needs. The Array Functions connector, for example, lets you work with JSON simple and complex lists, such as arrays, arrays of objects, and arrays of arrays.
The conditions connector allows you to set up conditional formulas such as IF and IF-EMPTY using the same concept as Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel formulas.
The DateTime connector allows you to perform various operations with dates, such as formatting, adding time offsets, and calculating durations.
The Filter connector enables you to search for and filter simple and complex lists based on desired criteria. This makes it a powerful tool for finding the specific information you need.
The Transform connector is one of the most powerful connectors in Easyflow. It allows you to work with large amounts of data, such as cleansing, merging, combining, reformatting and structuring datasets. It offers more than 40 different predefined transformation patterns to cover any case you may face.
