Zapier

Zapier is the biggest automation platform, connecting more than 9,000 apps so they work together on their own. A Zap links a trigger — like a new order — to one or more actions, like sending an email or updating a sheet. You build Zaps without code, adding multi-step logic, Paths for branching, and AI steps when needed. It also offers Zapier Tables, Chatbots, and MCP support for AI connections. It suits non-technical people and teams. Check zapier.com for current plans.

Key Features

1. 9,000+ app integrations

Connect more than 9,000 apps — the widest selection of any automation platform. Odds are your tools are already supported.

2. Trigger-plus-action Zaps

Every Zap starts with a trigger, then runs actions in order. A new form entry can update your CRM and ping your team.

3. Multi-step Zaps and Paths

Chain many steps in one Zap instead of many small ones. Paths add branching logic so one Zap handles different cases.

4. AI steps and Zapier Agents

Add AI steps that summarize text or draft replies inside a Zap. Zapier Agents can run multi-step tasks on their own.

5. Tables and Chatbots

Zapier Tables stores data for your automations like a simple database. Zapier Chatbots turn flows into chat helpers for your team.
