How it works
It all starts with an app
Imagine all the apps you use for work talking to each other. Zapier connects 5,000+ apps so the conversation flows—automatically.
Next, choose a trigger
Your trigger is what kicks off the automated process between your apps. In our example, the trigger is a lead coming in through Facebook.
This is where the action happens
After the trigger step comes the action, or what you want to happen automatically. In our example, the action is sending the team a Slack notification.
And that's what we call a Zap
A Zap is when your trigger causes an action. But the real magic happens when you wake up to 250 new leads that you got in your sleep.
Zaps do more, so you can too
A Zap can have up to 100 actions and automate an entire process—not just a single task. So a workflow can run while you focus on pitching a client and closing the deal.
All of this happens in the Zap editor
Zapier makes it easy for anyone to create new Zaps—or change existing ones—in our no-code automation platform.
