Learn how to use Ply to build custom interfaces in SmartSuite with buttons and icons. The tool automates tasks like adding Google Calendar events and generating emails with OpenAI, designed for ops managers and power users.
If you use SmartSuite, you should probably know about Ply. Ply allows you to add your own buttons and icons into SmartSuite, such as this little icon here that every time I click it, it will automatically add a Google Calendar event that matches the record information. The power of this setup is that it uses contextual information, so the stuff you have in your SmartSuite record can help inform OpenAI writing an email based on that information. Once set up, all you or your team have to do is click that button that seamlessly blends into SmartSuite, and a bunch of automated actions will happen. This tool connects super well with SmartSuite, and it's currently in a free beta period, so anyone can sign up. This is a really great addition to your SmartSuite power features if you're looking to take things up a notch, particularly those of you who are ops managers or power users.
