Transcripts
zapir has a new feature that's in beta
called Central this feature allows us to
create Bots that allows us to access all
6,000 apps on their backend and also
Access Data within our system in today's
video we're going to check out
everything we can do with zap your
central such as creating a behavior or
alternatively adding a data source
welcome back y'all in this video we're
going to be checking out this new beta
feature called Central I'm not too
surprised that zapier did this it makes
sense as the direction does seem to be
going towards our ability to automate
with AI more specifically this now gives
us the ability to use a chat gbt like
interface but it's like very integrated
to zaper as you probably already know or
if you don't know when dealing with
zapier and Chad gbt there's a little bit
of nuance involved a little bit of extra
code a little bit more understanding
that you would need in order to really
leverage their gbt or just their plugin
but it seems like zapier has released
their own version with their own user
interface that is really seiously
integrated so in this video I kind of
just want to go over everything that we
can do with it up to this point point
and then maybe in future videos I'll do
more specialized use cases to start
leveraging these zap your Bots this is
my Twitter check it out in the
description down below by the little
bird that goes tweet tweet I'll see you
there so your first question may be
Corbin how the heck do I get access to
this I don't see it in my dashboard
don't worry it wasn't in my dashboard
either but what you need to do is you
need to first off sign up for zapier's
early beta program I'll put a link down
that down there below you'll receive
emails that basically give you access to
these kind of new products I'm going to
try to give the link to this because
basically this is using a sip like a
separate domain what I suggest you to do
is type in like central. z.com see what
happens if that doesn't work then just
sign up for their beta reach out to them
this seems to be basically a feature
that they're testing still trying to see
like if it's a good go also mind you I
am in touch with zapier's team and I've
been in good relations with him for the
past year if you want features that you
haven't seen on this new Central that
you think would be cool leave it in the
comments down below because there's a
high probability that one of the
engineers working there will see that
comment and be like you know what that's
a good idea I'm going to add that let's
go ahead and see what we can do in this
platform so far to start off let's go
ahead and just create a new bot so I hit
new bot here it seems like there's no
caps there's no monetization yet this is
completely free this is just like let's
just see what we can do with this
platform I'm going to zoom down a little
bit here I'll go ahead and proceed with
telling you how to change the name
because it can kind of get annoying what
I'm going to do is you can either come
up here or you can come up to these
three ellipses and hit rename bot I'm
going to go ahead and just come up here
and just say uh data reader so we're
going to go ahead and check out its
first main feature so it can do two main
things it can do behaviors and data
sources first main feature is going to
be data reader this is already pretty
powerful as if you're familiar with this
channel we've done videos on co-pilot
pilot not pilot perplexity chat gbt all
these different softwares and we know
that there's always like some something
you know involved when it comes to
adding external data source like Google
Sheets in this platform though it
integrates and I haven't seen a pricing
model yet but it integrates with no
issues so we're going to go ahead and
first test out it's data reading ability
I'm going say add data source for me I'm
going to go ahead and add a Google sheet
right now we Google Sheets Google Dax
notion and as you as you can clearly see
they want to know what else you would
want to integrate in this context make
Google sheets I'm going to do our
courses account here and I'm going to
select a specific spreadsheet here so
this was coming from our Google video
where we go over Gemini and its
integration within Google what we're
going to do here though is we're going
to use this as sample data here which is
a web development kind of like you know
task associated with time dates time
dates voice crack and everything like
that and the notes for each one so I'm
going to gut check this by basically
saying you know for John Smith what have
they done for this development Journey
like what what were the task associated
with John Smith we're going to see if
this works so I'm going to go and select
our data source here we going to do web
development once we added web
development we can't actually start
right away there's a little bit of a
sinking process so you can go ahead and
make sure you hit sync now to make sure
you have the most up to upto-date data
and it can even access it proceeding
that matter once it's synced we can go
ahead and just ask a question we're
going to say based on our spreadsheet we
can even reference by name if you want
to you know web development if we choose
to do so because I only have one data
source right now I'm just going to say
spreadsheet because there's only one
spreadsheet in there I'm going to come
back over here we're going to say for
John Smith what a fantastic name right
based on our spreadsheet what did John
Smith John Smith do you know like Johnny
apple seed was there like a point in
that book where like he ate a bunch of
apples and like spit them into a
pot they're going to go ahead and do the
heavy lifting for me and let's see what
it comes out to be as of now Gemini
doesn't have the specific ability to
integrate in this manner also co-pilot
it's very expensive to do this kind of
thing so this being free is already a
big big deal beyond all that though more
competition the better that's what I
always say as our ability to internalize
and read data in a chatbot like UI is
very powerful and I think as we keep
going down longterm it's going to become
very affordable for most businesses so
we got our three steps here which we can
click and see what's going going on here
and here we go so John Smith has been
involved with three priority tasks
according to the spreadsheet data so it
gives dates and it gives what they were
supposed to do let's gut check it revamp
social media April 26 2023
April 26 2023 new social media strategy
check One wireframe landing page March
15 2023 March 15th Yeah March 15th 2023
first version of designs in complete
plan is to test workflows research and
then integrate designs back feedback
okay wireframe landing page two revamp
online calculator April 5th of 2023
April 5th of 2023 revamp online
calculator three for three for three now
the service level you might be like
Corbin like I could have just read that
myself but imagine you had a sheet with
like 500 rows and you wanted to find
very specific data on a very specific
individual or a very specific data point
now we have a very fast way we can do
this leveraging it within zapier's user
interface there is a little bit of the
data feature let's go ahead and look
into the behavior feature I'm going to
create a new bot here and just real
quick just so I can show youall let's go
to this chat this old chat here right in
order to start a new chat you can say
start refresh chat yes start a refresh
chat and basically we can have the
relevant data sources we've already
uploaded SL actions we already have
created for the said bot and you know go
ahead and proceed in that manner got a
new bot here let's call this bot IG post
we're going to go ahead and create a
behavior and they have basic Bally two
options here so we can either use lay
IND dictation to kind of get an idea of
what kind of automation flow we want
this is kind of similar to their uh AI
prompt feature in the dashboard
personally I don't need to use this
feature you can use this feature it
gives you like you know you know
possible ways to go about creating
automation flows this is going to get
better and better over time of course I
want to just show you like the coolest
thing that I saw when it came to this
specific type of behavior feature which
is basically being creating a trigger
through a message I sent to the bot this
is powerful so let's say I create a
social media bot right it's already
integrated into a lot of my social media
platforms whatever it may be YouTube
Twitter through up uh API web books and
everything of that nature and let's say
when I communicate with this bot I have
little actions I wanted to shoot off
right so this one we're just going to do
an action of IG say give me
IG and this specific phrase or keyword
is going to be the trigger now that we
have the trigger what does gimme IG mean
in this context first let's create an
image so we're going to go ahead and use
delay so I'm going hit delay here or no
just going to do open AI Del so it comes
up do Del 3 generate image with delay 3
have ai generate the value of this field
okay that's fine add action now we want
a following action we're going to go
ahead and do a Instagram post we're
going to do Instagram and we will scroll
down here publish photo we're going to
do our Instagram account probably assume
the correct Instagram account off that
the photo I'm going push it to the Limit
here I'm going to have ai generate the
value for this field so I'm going to
assume that it's going to grab the the
delay URL the caption will just go ahead
and say have ai generate this field tag
users location not important we're going
to add this action and let's go ahead
and see if we can get this working let's
go ahead and say when I
say uh quotation marks give me IG
generate and image with open AI Del 3
you're going to want to use the exact
terminology here you don't want to
shorthand this stuff and we're going to
say post Dolly three and generate a
caption with generate caption I'm gonna
go ahead and not add a Chad jbt block to
generate said caption I'm gonna see if
this can generate the caption for me
which would be pretty cool and then
we're going to go and say publish to
Instagram all right enable Let's test
this Behavior okay so this seems like
our debug log here determining Next Step
here now let's move on to creating
caption okay when the image in caption
are ready the next step is to publish to
Instagram okay mind you this is actually
the first time I'm doing this so
actually seeing if it can push it to the
Limit here okay proceed oh no it's
already going okay so there seems there
was an air but I think that's on my end
I think I need to reauthenticate my
Instagram real quick so let me go a and
do that mind you all connections used in
zap your central are just enter zap your
dashboard okay I realized that basically
the connection was working but as of
recently I've kind of switched up my
Instagram so you can check it out as
well this is basically me hiking and
just going to different locations and
when I did that I disconnected the
business page associated with Facebook
so I don't have that so that's not going
to be able to push forward therefore I'm
going to switch this up a little bit and
I'm just going to send it as a Gmail
attachment in order to get rid of an
action I'm just going to hit delete
action okay there we go I'm going to add
an action here I'm going to hit Gmail
we're going to say create a draft I'm
going to choose my courses subjects fine
two is fine let's it a specific value
for two we can enter the value enter
perfect body is fine show options let's
go ahead and add an attachment here I'm
going to say have ai generate this field
so B basically anything you want to
manipulate make sure you have that
selected everything should be good here
we're say add this action we're going to
have to update our instructions generate
image3 generate a sub email
subject and body attach the delay 3
image to the email let's see if this
works this is going to be super cool if
this works I have no clue this is going
to work we say give me
mail see I'm going test this Behavior I
will say I really like their debug log
it's very transparent very user friendly
same deal here we are dealing with a
image being generated if everything goes
right we should expect to see an email
draft found here got our email subject
we got our body which basically is like
a newsletter for nature I suppose which
I think is also cool it's able to
reference The Prompt previously said and
provide additional information based off
that promp such as a subject line and an
Emil body creating the draft the email
draft has been successfully created or
oh it worked okay we got a subject line
we got a body and we got our image here
this is the image we got pretty
impressive y'all this worked a lot
better than I was expecting and just to
prove that this works outside of that
logic let's go and start a new chat here
say start fresh chat we even have an
activity log based off our bot and our
actions these are the test posts that we
had for the D IG post the name of the
action is actually not correct right now
rename it like that I'm going to say
email push the way we're going to
reference it isn't going to be email
push it's going to be give me oh wait
give me
mail that's how we're going to reference
this prove this works so going put
random characters so it doesn't just
click off in the action right or maybe
it will let's see yeah I don't blame you
I don't I I don't blame you for not
understanding that let's try it now put
in the simple action word or key phrase
hit enter when I message B oh okay here
we go y'all this is pretty impressive I
think this is this is next level if
they're using open AI API in their back
end then open AI is very happy as
they're going to get a ton of usage off
this and basically zapp's going to get a
ton of value to their customers off this
as well now it is stuck at the trigger
here when I message bot activate actions
oh it looks like it's still going here
so maybe I need a little bit of like a
loading UI oh I see it's running
Behavior okay zap here make that a
little bit more obvious VI I think maybe
make it orange change the color a little
bit cuz for a second there I thought it
just froze one reply here we go oh okay
interesting so they even have a separate
thread um so it doesn't look like the
chat doesn't get overwhelming and
supposedly we should have another draft
and we have another
draft boom what do y'all think you like
it you don't like it would you use this
how would you use this what are features
that are missing from this I'm overall
pretty impressed with this I think this
is leap years of where we were a year
ago especially with the fact that
there's a ton of value that's can be
Associated here this may be zapier's
play when it comes to hey this is R 20
USD a month but like a separate thing
right now I'm not sure how they're going
to approach this when it comes to I
guess the the the existing chatbot and
the chat B that's used on websites it's
going to be a whole separate ecosystem
whole separate product selection but
this seems like really powerful I could
totally see a business creating a bot
dedicated towards social media creating
very specific actions for said thing or
just analyzing a bunch of data make sure
leave a like it's completely free check
out the playlist at the end here that's
going over everything you need know
about zapier not over 100 videos not
over 200 videos I think over like 300
videos when it comes to zapier you check
that out at the end here I'll see you in
the next video what do youall think that
is the playlist right there if you're
brand new to Ai and automation you check
out the very first two videos it's going
to give you a in-depth idea of
everything you need to know that's a
random video that's my face this is it
I'll see you in the next video
