Zapier
No-code automation that connects thousands of apps — build 'when this, do that' workflows and let routine tasks run themselves.
Visit official site →What is Zapier?
Zapier's own directory lists more than 9,000 app integrations, and breadth is the real product — no single feature matters as much as whether your particular stack is covered. It fits people who spend their day shuttling information between systems: copying form entries into a CRM, filing attachments, chasing approvals. The free plan caps you at 100 tasks per month and two-step workflows, which is enough to prove one automation works. Write down a repetitive handoff you do every week, then rebuild exactly that first.
Three things Zapier does best
-
Connects the apps you already pay for
The directory covers more than 9,000 apps — Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, QuickBooks, Google Sheets — plus webhooks for anything missing. You pick a trigger app, pick an action app, and map fields in a visual editor. Premium apps such as Salesforce and NetSuite need a paid plan.
-
Builds whole systems, not just single steps
Beyond two-app handoffs, Zapier includes Tables for storing records, Forms for collecting input, and Canvas for mapping a process. Multi-step Zaps with filters, paths, and formatting require the Professional plan; the free tier is limited to two-step workflows and 100 tasks per month.
-
Gives AI models a way to act
Zapier MCP exposes your connected accounts as tools an AI assistant can call, so a chat model can actually create the ticket or send the update rather than draft text about it. AI steps inside a Zap now bill against the same task counter.
Zapier has a free plan, so the fastest way to judge it is to try it on one real task.
