Zapier

Zapier interconnects your everyday work applications and automates your most repetitive tasks. It automates your work by connecting your apps and moving information between them based on set conditions and rules.

Connecting multiple apps and performing a given task is called a Zap. And a single Zap can have up to 100 actions. For example, you can define a Zap so that when someone buys a product from you, they are added to a spreadsheet with an ID and that ID is added to your inventory along with the number of items they purchased.

Within a Zap, there are paths. A path is when a Zap performs specific actions based on "if/then" logic. You create the rules! For example, if the buyer is a first-time buyer, Zapier might ask your email provider to send them an email with a discount on their next purchase. But if they are a repeat customer, they may simply receive a gift or VIP card.

With filters, your Zap will only run when a certain condition is met. You can also schedule your Zap to run when you want or delay the action step.

Zapier transfer allows you to move data en masse whenever you want, so you don't have to waste time copying and pasting, fixing errors, or cleaning up messy data. Got lots of data to move from Spreadsheet to Airtable? It's easy! It's done. Want every purchase added to your spreadsheet? Done.

To date, Zapier has over 5000 integrations and accounts. For even more customization, you can use webhooks to receive data from any service or send requests to any URL without writing code or running servers.

And if your application isn't on the list, you can work with the Zapier team to create the integration yourself.

Zapier templates are a repository of the most popular and widely used Zaps by users. So instead of starting from scratch every time, you can simply check if your Zap is listed in the template gallery and use it.

You also have access to a knowledge base where you can learn more about how the platform works and how to make the most of its features.

Marketplace is where you can entrust your automation work to an expert who can do it for you from start to finish. The Zapier team has vetted each expert, so you're in good hands.
