Integration categories

Automate your lead management and improve conversions

With Zapier, you can automate every part of your lead funnel and give yourself the best chance at converting leads. Automate everything from lead capture to outreach to reporting—and close more deals as a result.

Create more impactful campaigns with automation

Measuring campaign performance across platforms can get chaotic. Plus, digging up the right metrics costs you precious time and effort. With Zapier, you can create a centralized view of your performance, skillfully manage your lists, and ensure your campaigns drive ROI across the business.

Provide world-class support with a little help from automation

Support reps can't be productive when they have to track down crucial information for every incident or ticket. With Zapier, you can automatically send your reps the context they need to resolve tickets quickly and create a seamless customer experience.

Automate your way to actionable, up-to-date data

The days of manually exporting and importing data are over. With Zapier, you can send data where it needs to go, in the format you need it—so you can centralize your data and unlock more insights.

Resolve incidents faster with automation

Your technical support team wants to focus on tech tickets rather than admin work. With Zapier, you can automate everything from ticket creation to routing to inter-team communication—eliminating friction from incident management and increasing speed to resolution.

Supported triggers and actions

Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
