Description
Zapier is a workflow automation platform that allows users to connect over 6,000 web applications (like Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, and increasingly AI tools) to automate tasks. Users create "Zaps," which are automated workflows triggered by events in one app, leading to actions in another. It targets businesses, marketers, and individuals looking to streamline operations, save time, and integrate disparate software without writing code. Zapier stands out by its vast library of app integrations and its intuitive, no-code interface, making complex automations accessible to non-developers, which is a significant advantage over manual processes or custom API integrations. This enables users to build powerful, custom workflows quickly and efficiently.
