Most of us waste far too much time doing busywork. Instead of focusing on the most important parts of our job, we fritter the hours away sending emails, checking apps for updates, copying data back and forth, and scheduling endless meetings.
Zapier cuts the busy work by handling those tasks and more for you automatically. With automated workflows we call Zaps, you can send emails, get updated about apps, copy data between your software, and even schedule meetings automatically. No more distraction—just more time to do the work you love.

Zapier's Digest tool can correlate the info for you and send it right when you need it.
