May Release Notes: 8 New Apps and 18 App Updates
We added a diverse set of names to our app directory in May in fields ranging from education to marketing automation and KPI tracking. You can now use automation to save time as you sell your online courses, convert leads more efficiently, and even translate info passing through your apps automatically.
As always, our new apps work perfectly together and with every other app on Zapier. You can now expand your reach with automated Pins and tracking on Pinterest, monitoring your growth with Dasheroo's dashboards. And when those orders start coming in, ShipStation can process and fulfill them all.
Take a look at all the new ways you can hand off time-consuming chores to Zapier automation:
New Apps
Pinterest (Social Bookmarking)
Pinterest isn't just a personal scrapbook—it's also a powerful tool for engaging with customers and growing your business. With this new integration, Zapier can automatically Pin products from your ecommerce store or any other app, track new followers your posts, and back up every pin you like on cloud storage.

Marketo (Marketing and Lead Conversion)
Marketo helps anyone add powerful automation to their marketing and lead management. With our integration, any lead from another app can be routed into Marketo for your segmentation and targeting, so you never need to import them manually again. And when you need those leads elsewhere, automated workflows can send them to every other tool you use.

ShipStation (Shipping and Fulfilment)
Ecommerce businesses rely on ShipStation to route products and packages around the globe. And when you plug it into Zapier, you can pipe new ShipStation orders into your CRM or email marketing app. Invoices can be auto-generated from new orders, and shipping alerts sent for you. Get ship done automatically with ShipStation and Zapier.

Dasheroo (KPI Dashboards)
The more data you generate, and the harder it is to see patterns. Focus on your key metrics with pinpoint precision using Dasheroo's customizable dashboards. Line and area charts let you visualize every important data point from the apps you connect through Zapier. Track incoming sales, what's left of the budget, or your daily completed task count. The choice—and insight—is yours.

46elks (SMS and call automation)
46elks makes SMS and call automation easy. You can use it to send out targeted or broadcasted messages, or place and redirect phone calls with precision. The app supports networks in over 200 countries, too. Connect it to Zapier, and your automation extends to every app you use: from routing text messages into your chat channels to sending SMS messages directly to customers.

Translate by Zapier (Utility)
We can't offer you a universal translator like those found in science fiction just yet, but we built the next best thing—workflows that translate your text automatically. With this new Zapier app, you can auto-translate incoming communication into almost any language. And it works in the other direction, too, letting you speak any customer's language. Try it out yourself:
