Consumer Safety, Event Planning, and More
These topics as well as education marketing, security and file sharing are among those addressed by the Power Automate connectors that wrapped up July 2022. Four connectors are the product of one independent publisher. I’ve reviewed all of these here to give you a quick rundown, looking first at consumer safety.
Is There a Recall on Your Peanut Butter?
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) is tasked with advising the American public with information about products. According to its website, “CPSC works to save lives and keep families safe by reducing the unreasonable risk of injuries and deaths associated with consumer products and fulfilling its vision to be the recognized global leader in consumer product safety.”
The CPSC Recalls Retrieval Power Automate connector has a single action that can reach out to the CPSC and deliver a list of recalls. If there was a trigger that could remove the offending item from your home or refrigerator, now THAT would be cool! Still…

Sharing Files?
With the File.io connector, you can upload a file, share the link, and after it is downloaded, the file is completely deleted. This could be a handy tool when you work in covert operations and need to keep your space tidy. It’s five actions include:
- Upload a file and creates the file details.
- Update a file by key.
- Delete a file identified by key
- Get a list of your files.
- Get the plan and account details for the user.

Event Planners: Check it Out!
If you plan events, coordinate fundraisers and volunteers or are the one in charge of the class reunion you can use the new SignUpGenius connector to automate many of the tasks that would otherwise keep you up at night with spreadsheets and neon colored sticky notes. Its actions are many including:
- Get all sign up information.
- Get all active sign up information.
- Get all expired sign up information.
- Add a user to a group.
- Get details about a group member.
- Get the members associated with a group.
- Get all groups created by the user.
- Get all active sign ups you are invited to.

- Get a report of the slots that are filled for a sign up.

By automating these tasks, you’ll have more time for the face-to-face and be better able to delegate workloads.

Keeping Secrets on Your Server?
Security nerds who use the Delinea Secret Server may want to minimize manual time by utilizing this connector. Three actions get a single secret by ID, get a single secret template by ID, get an access token for use with other API requests, or refresh an access token.
