Claris Connect utilities

Claris Connect provides a set of utilities that allow you to transform output data from a flow step, use communication protocols to work with data, and add enhanced functionality to your flows. For example, you can use the Text utility to extract the domain in an email address, the Images utility to read data from a document or image file, or the Approval utility to require someone's approval before the flow can continue.
