What is Zapier?

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects thousands of apps (Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Salesforce, and more) so actions in one app automatically trigger actions in another. Its AI features add natural-language workflow building and AI steps within automations.

How Zapier works

You choose a trigger event in one app (like "new email received") and one or more actions in other apps (like "add row to spreadsheet" or "send Slack message"), and Zapier runs that workflow automatically whenever the trigger fires — no code required. AI-powered steps can also summarize, classify, or generate content mid-workflow.

Is Zapier free?

A free plan supports a limited number of single-step Zaps (automations) per month between two apps. Paid plans (Starter, Professional, Team, Enterprise) unlock multi-step Zaps, more monthly tasks, premium app integrations, and advanced logic like filters and paths.
