Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Outlook and FreshBooks

Microsoft Outlook + FreshBooks + Slack: When a new email arrives in Outlook, the flow checks if it mentions a new invoice. If so, it searches for the corresponding invoice in FreshBooks and sends a notification to a Slack channel with the invoice details.

FreshBooks + Microsoft Outlook + Google Sheets: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks, the flow logs the invoice details and client information in a Google Sheet. A confirmation email is then sent via Outlook to the client using the data from FreshBooks and Google Sheets.
