Automating your workflows with Zapier

Zapier automatically moves information between your web apps using workflows called Zaps. A workflow is a process through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. Rather than creating individual workflows on your own each time something needs to be done, Zaps help to automatically achieve these tasks.

There are 300+ ways to automate your workspace with Zaps to create a more efficient working environment for you and your team. Zapier supports thousands of applications, from Gmail to Trello to Airtable, to fit the varying needs of your company with Zaps, and continues to grow with the expansion of your knowledge utilizing its tools. In this section, we'll take you through the process of understanding an individual Zap, how to create one both from existing formatting and from scratch, and ultimately, how to add it to your workplace for the magic to really happen.
