Upwork is a global freelancing platform where businesses and independent professionals connect and collaborate remotely. Hire for any scope of work, from one-off tasks to recurring projects to full-time contract work. Freelancers on Upwork cover a variety of skills, including web development, design, accounting, and writing, and you can find experts in dozens of areas. You'll post a job, get qualified proposals within 24 hours, and then compare bids, reviews, and prior work to decide who to interview and hire. You can also use Upwork to chat or video call, share files, and track project milestones. Plus, you can pay hourly or fixed-price and receive invoices directly through Upwork.

Now that Upwork integrates with Zapier, it's easier than ever to automate your freelancing workflows. Connect Upwork to any of 1,500+ apps in your tech stack: Zapier can automatically trigger workflows in other apps whenever a new message is sent to a room in Upwork. Or you can send a message to a room in Upwork whenever trigger events happen in the other apps you use most. Just be careful to avoid Zap loops when sending automated messages.

  • Automatically send messages to Upwork whenever you have a new lead come through.
  • Connect Upwork to your task management system so all your information is always up to date and you never miss a beat.
