How Zapier works
Zapier lets you build automated workflows between two or more apps—no code necessary. These workflows are called Zaps, and this is how they work.

With Zapier, you can integrate everything from basic data entry to end-to-end processes. Here are some of the business-critical workflows that people automate with Zapier.
