What is zapier?

Zapier is a popular automation tool that connects different web applications to automate repetitive tasks. Think of it as a translator between different apps, allowing them to share data and trigger actions without you having to manually move information around.

Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

• Zaps: These are automated workflows that connect two or more apps. A Zap consists of a trigger and one or more actions.

• Triggers: This is the event in one app that starts the Zap. For example, a new lead in a CRM.

• Actions: This is what Zapier does automatically after the trigger occurs. For example, adding that new lead to a marketing email list.

• Apps: Zapier integrates with thousands of applications, including popular ones like Gmail, Google Sheets, Slack, Salesforce, and many more.

• Use Cases: Zapier can automate various tasks, such as:

  • Saving email attachments to cloud storage.
  • Adding new leads from forms to a CRM.
  • Posting social media updates.
  • Creating tasks in project management software.
  • Sending notifications in chat apps.

• Pricing: Zapier offers different pricing tiers, including a free plan with limited functionality. Paid plans offer more Zaps, faster updates, and access to premium apps.
