Automate everything
Six years ago, three young men started a journey to make productivity apps even more productive. Automate everything and save time, became their mantra and it lead Wade Foster, Bryan Helmig, and Mike Knoop to launch Zapier in 2012. Zapier enables users to build their own personalized, code-less workflow automations called ⚡️zaps.⚡️
Zapier makes you happier :)
Zapier is often described as a translator between web APIs. Imagine it as a power plant that connects apps so that they can work together and do what they can’t on their own. With a bit of inspiration and creativity, you can pull almost any app into a unique workflow to get more done in far less time.
"The only limit to what you're able to streamline with Zapier is your own imagination," says CEO Wade Foster.
To start up your automation flows you can create Zap Templates using available integrations or Zaps where the apps and core fields are pre-selected. Select first the app and trigger you want to start the Zap, then add an action app and map the fields from the trigger app to that action. Then, add a title and description to help people quickly understand when to use your Zap. 👊
