Poor product, doesn't work for anything but the simplest automations

I really wanted to like Active Pieces. I tried to set up flows that take order details and write each line item to a row in a Google Sheet. Before purchasing, I checked that AC has line item handling – they claimed to. But it simply doesn't work. I tried every conceivable way to fetch Shopify and WooCommerce line item data – it just fails. I raised an issue – you are directed to community support. I noticed other similar complaints about line item handling and no working answers. There's no help from the AC team other than "we will fix this later". And the documentation is very poor. I've since tried to create a flow that simply uploads an email attachment to a Google Drive folder. It doesn't work – the 'parent folder' (where you start to choose the destination Google Drive folder) just has an endless spinner.

I would like my money back.

Actually better than the alternative.

Hear me out. I know they "only" have 181 peices, but guess what? When selecting a piece to use, you can click on the AI and ask it to make one for you. Here's a tip, if it has problems making it, copy the API documentation and tell AI to use it as a reference. If you add this into your consideration, i got a steal.

Generic templates, non active community

Great idea, bad execution. Unfortunately we can not make it work. No templates that make sense. I mean I want to post on instagram, simple as that, give us instructions.

Buggy and requires work

Boy do I wish I had tested this out more thoroughly before going all in. Based on the reviews, I thought it'd be a good investment but I didn't have time to test it out before the 60 day period. That's my fault but I regret it a lot.

I am trying to build a somewhat complex (medium level) flow and there are many issues. Primarily, there is no "save" button so if the builder bugs out, then you have to refresh and re-add all your changes.

The built in PDF parser is terrible. I don't know how that vs chatgpt is so far apart. On top of that, they don't have any other PDF parsers like pdf.co

I think there's still potential but it has a long ways to go.

Once you buy it, you're absolutely on your own

If there were some promises made, I can tell you that using this service and trying to get it working is an absolute nightmare. And when you need help, you'll quickly discover that you're on your own and that there is no support for it. All they'll say is : go to the forum and get help there on your own. I posted about 3 messages on the forum asking for help, no one f** cares about you.
Not to say this product doesn't even have basic tasks such as "if a new WordPress post with category "xxx" is created > send out a campaign using tool "ABC". I mean, that's pretty much the basic thing most people want to do : automate an email campaign.
Good luck, I've just never managed using this tool.
