Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.

Transform your self service with Zapier
Zapier helps you build smarter self-service support automation. Automate responses, manage knowledge content, and moderate customer communities—and that’s just the start.
Automated response management
Answers that reach customers fast
Automate customer support replies the moment common requests appear. Route chatbot and helpdesk signals from Zendesk, Intercom, or Slack into response workflows and review queues. Customers get faster answers with less agent effort.
Instant reply routing
Route common customer support requests to the right automated response path instantly, so customers get answers faster and agents step in only when needed.
Chatbot escalation flows
Escalate chatbot conversations to Zendesk or Intercom when intent, sentiment, or missing data signals a customer needs human support.
Smart FAQ suggestions
Surface relevant knowledge base articles when customers ask repeat questions, reducing ticket volume and improving self service resolution.
Real-time response alerts
Send Slack alerts when automated replies fail, stall, or need review, so customer service teams can fix response gaps before they grow.
Auto-close resolved requests
Close resolved requests after a confirmed answer or inactivity window, keeping support automation clean without manual queue cleanup.
How it works
Self-service support automation connects your tools, detects help content changes and support patterns, and triggers workflows automatically. Surface answers, route updates, and flag issues in real time—without manually reviewing tickets or editing articles.
Step 1
Connect your tools
Integrate platforms like Zendesk, Intercom, Notion, help desks, knowledge bases, and community tools to centralize support data.
Step 2
Define triggers
Set conditions for new help requests, article changes, unanswered questions, forum flags, or portal activity.
Step 3
Automate & measure
Trigger alerts, update articles, route issues, and continuously track self-service resolution improvements automatically.
