What is Zapier?

Zapier connects over 6,000 apps and lets you automate workflows without writing code. A "Zap" is a trigger-action automation: when X happens in App A, do Y in App B. For small service businesses, common uses include: new booking triggers a CRM contact, invoice paid triggers a follow-up email, form submission adds a lead to a pipeline. Zapier is the broadest-supported option — nearly every SaaS tool integrates with it.

Pricing note: Free plan includes limited Zaps and task volume. Paid plans increase task limits and unlock multi-step Zaps. Check zapier.com/pricing for current rates — pricing changes periodically.
