Zapier

Zapier connects apps with automated workflows called Zaps: when something happens in one tool, actions run in others. It has grown beyond that into tables, simple interfaces and AI agents, so a small team can build a lightweight app and its automations in one place.

For no-code builders it is often the glue between a front end, a database and email, payments or a CRM. AI steps can classify, summarize or draft text in the middle of a workflow.

Watch task counts on busy workflows, keep a log of what each Zap does and who owns it, and add error alerts so a broken step does not go unnoticed. Templates cover common pairs of apps, which makes the first automation quick to set up.
