During the Dutch/Flemish webinar we had a session in which we shared the extensions people used and what is useful about them. We enjoyed sharing this with each other and we thought this might be useful for the wider community so here is the list of extensions in no particular order:

This blog post explains how you could insert data from a CSV file into CiviCRM. We use Pentaho Data Integration to read the CSV file and to call a Form Processor in CiviCRM.

This is a first blog post about how we build the team portal for Roparun.

I have finished a working prototype of the form-processor and action-provider extension. See my previous blog post for where the idea came from.

Last month I made a proposal for a client to integrate CiviCRM with Outlook 365. This proposal was rejected because the client did not go for an e-mail migration to Outlook 365. So the need for this plugin was gone.

The plan was that this integration would do the following:

Last week we had a Sprint in the wonderful city of Brussels. This blog post is a recap of what I have been up to.
