Zapier


Zapier is a popular automation platform that connects different apps and services to help them work together without you needing to write any code. It lets you build “Zaps” automated workflows where an action in one app triggers a response in another.
For example, you could set up a Zap so that when you get a new Gmail email with an attachment, the attachment automatically saves to your Dropbox. Or when someone fills out a form on your website, Zapier could automatically add their info to a Google Sheet and send you a Slack message.
Key things about Zapier
- No-code: You don’t have to be technical to use it.
- Thousands of integrations: It works with over 6,000 apps (Google apps, Slack, Shopify, Salesforce, etc.)
- Multi-step Zaps: More complex workflows can have multiple steps (e.g., a new customer triggers adding them to CRM, emailing them, and sending a Slack alert).
- Filters & conditions: You can make Zaps that only run if certain criteria are met.
- Premium plans: Basic features are free, but more advanced features (like multi-step Zaps, premium app integrations, and higher usage limits) require a paid subscription.
It’s especially loved by businesses and freelancers who want to automate repetitive tasks and free up time.
