Workflow automations can run inside Hive and across connected apps, including recurring jobs and workflows built with Buzz. Native integrations include Google Drive, Google Calendar, Dropbox, QuickBooks, Zoom, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, GitHub and Box; a REST API and Hive Automate recipes provide further integration options. Hive is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and web, with API access. The Free plan costs nothing and allows up to 10 workspace members, with unlimited tasks and collaborative notes.
