What Do Blockchain, Construction, Emojis, Healthcare, IT Operations and Word Clouds all Have in Common?
Normally, zero! But, each of these new Power Automate connectors addresses one of these categories. Join me to take a quick look at how each one could improve your flow.

The Infura Ethereum API gives developers the Ethereum-based infrastructure to build decentralized applications, or blockchain. These are often used to prevent cheating or hacking a system as you might want for apps that deal with cryptocurrency. With it, builders can connect applications using a single line of code. This connector’s actions supplement that ability.

More Changes Afoot
Along with these new connectors comes one update that’s worth mentioning. If you need the ability to track memberships for your organization and you use Impexium already, you surely want to take a close look at this connector to automate more of your tasks. If you’re looking for an app that works well for this purpose, this one may suit you.
When the Impexium connector, used for membership management for nonprofits and member-based organizations, originally landed in February 2021 it was a small blip on our radar, garnering a solid three and a half stars. Later, in August of 2021, I noted the addition of more triggers and upped the ante to four stars for making a good connector even better. Today, a year after our first brush with Impexium, we can report there are a slew (over 50) available actions and 14 triggers that improve the usability of this connector for its users.
