Most powerful ways to connect Paypal and OpenPhone

OpenPhone + Paypal + Google Sheets: When a new call or text is received in OpenPhone, the flow finds the customer (based on email or phone) in Paypal to retrieve purchase history, and logs call/text details along with purchase history into Google Sheets.
