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

Transform your payroll with Zapier
Zapier helps you modernize payroll and compensation automation with less manual work. Process payroll, manage compensation changes, and automate bonus payouts—and that’s just the start.
Payroll processing
Run payroll with fewer delays
Automate payroll workflows from time to payout. Connect HR systems, payroll tools, and Google Sheets to move employee data, approvals, and pay records automatically. That means fewer errors and faster payroll runs.
Automated payroll run alerts
Get notified in Slack when a payroll run starts, stalls, or finishes so HR can catch delays before payday.
Employee record updates
Push new hire, status, or pay changes from BambooHR into payroll trackers and records automatically.
Tax deadline reminders
Send Gmail reminders before filing and payroll cutoff dates so deadlines are not missed during busy cycles.
Payroll approval routing
Route payroll exceptions to the right approver and log decisions in Google Sheets without chasing responses.
Pay report generation
Build payroll summaries in Google Sheets automatically so HR can review totals, errors, and completion status fast.
How it works
Payroll and compensation automation connects your tools, detects pay events and compensation changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Track payroll runs, bonus updates, and approval status in real time—without manually updating spreadsheets.
Step 1
Connect your tools
Integrate platforms like QuickBooks Online, BambooHR, Google Sheets, HR systems, and payroll tools to centralize payroll data.
Step 2
