Extending Flow Overview Video

Hi everyone! I recently worked on a video to help give an overview on when and why you might use Flow extensions. I also cover some good sample scenarios using various actions and also cover some lessons learned.

Check out the summary (with helpful clickable timestamps) below!

Here’s the video:
