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 file management with Zapier
Unlock smarter file management with Zapier. Organize files automatically, back up critical documents, and move files between tools—and that’s just the start.
Automatic file organization
Keep every file in its place
Route files into the right folders the moment they arrive. Use Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box triggers to rename documents, apply rules, and log file organization automatically. Stay organized without constant cleanup.
Automated folder routing
Route incoming files to the right Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box folder based on source, name, or type, so organization happens instantly.
Smart file naming
Rename files using dates, form data, or project details before they land in storage, so every document follows a consistent pattern.
Metadata-based sorting
Sort documents by tags, uploader, or file type and record the result in Google Sheets for cleaner file management automation.
Duplicate file alerts
Flag repeated uploads as soon as matching names or records appear, then alert the right person in Slack before clutter builds up.
Organization activity logs
Log every filed document to Airtable or Google Sheets, giving you a searchable record of file organization without manual tracking.
How it works
File management automation connects your tools, detects new files and folder changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Route files, archive backups, and log transfers in real time—without manually sorting folders or moving documents.

Route files, send alerts, update logs, and continuously track file workflow improvements automatically.
