You use dozens of tools to get work done—and you'll need to move information between them to keep operations running effectively. Chances are, you're probably moving this data manually at least some of the time. But as your workflows get more complex (and they will), you'll need to automate those business-critical processes so you can drive actual results—at scale. 

With Zapier, you can automate individual tasks with automated workflows—we call them Zaps. You can even build out systems of Zaps that connect all of your work tools. Whether you're just getting started or ready to orchestrate full systems across apps, data and teams, here are five workflows that will transform your work.

Zapier is the most connected AI orchestration platform—integrating with thousands of apps from partners like Google, Salesforce, and Microsoft. Use interfaces, data tables, and logic to build secure, automated, AI-powered systems for your business-critical workflows across your organization's technology stack. Learn more.

Five things you should automate: 

Message your team about leads or customers

If a lead comes in and nobody acts on it, did it actually come in? We can't answer that question—we'll leave that to philosophers—but what we can do is help you make sure this never happens. 

You could say it's one of the things we do best. People commonly use Zapier to notify teammates about leads.

It's a simple Zap—what we call our automated workflows—to set up. All you need to do is connect whatever source you're getting leads from to whatever communication tool your sales or marketing team uses the most. That way your team gets notified every time a new lead comes in, in the place they're most likely to see it, so they can take action right away.

For example, you could send an email to your team whenever a lead comes in. Here are some quick Zaps to get you started.

To get started with a Zap template—what we call our pre-made workflows—just click on the button. It only takes a few minutes to set up. You can read more about setting up Zaps here.

For example, you can send the information from forms that your customers have filled out to a spreadsheet.

                                                                                  Collect new Typeform responses as rows on Google Sheets

Zapier can help you analyze those entries in a spreadsheet automatically with this integration. Once you set it up, it will catch every new entry you receive on a Typeform, saving the results to a new row on Google Sheets so you don't have to do it yourself.

                                                                                    Create rows in Google Sheets for new Gravity Forms submissions

This Gravity Forms-Google Sheets integration makes it easy to do just that, automatically.

When a new submission is received in Jotform, it instantly creates a record in Tables by Zapier. This not only saves you time and effort but also ensures accurate data entry, making your data management more efficient and effective. Keep track of all your Jotform submissions easily in a dynamic, organized table format.

                                                                                          Spreadsheets are great for storing information, but they're not built for acting on it quickly. For a more dynamic automated system, try Zapier Tables. With it, you can store data, trigger automations, and connect all your organization's apps and workflows to your spreadsheet data.

                                                                                          You can also keep track of leads.
