      7. Added GroupBy Option to Query Collection Action

      Now you can utilize the GroupBy option in the QueryCollection action. This addition empowers you to aggregate and organize your data more efficiently.

      Imagine you want to automate the process of importing an overview of Google Directory users from each department into Google Sheets or zenphi Tables. To achieve this, you can utilize the Search Users from Google Directory action and combine it with the QueryCollection action, enabling the Group By option. 

      By leveraging the GroupBy option within the QueryCollection action, you can effortlessly group users from the Google Directory based on their department or team affiliation. This powerful combination allows you to generate comprehensive reports that provide insights into the user count for each department, track user activities, and manage access permissions more efficiently.
