Zapier integration
In depth
Zapier launched in 2011 (Bryan Helmig + Mike Knoop). Founder-friendly automation platform — 6,000+ app integrations, no-code workflow builder. 2M+ users 2026, $400M+ ARR. Use case: connect tools without code.
A workflow ("Zap") = trigger + actions. Trigger: new event in App A (e.g. Stripe payment received). Actions: chain in App B/C/D (send email, update Sheet, post Slack, create CRM lead). Multi-step zaps + conditional logic + error handling.
2026 pricing: Free 100 tasks/mo + 5 zaps. Starter $19.99/mo 750 tasks + 20 zaps. Professional $49/mo 2K tasks. Team $69/mo 50K tasks. Enterprise custom. Task = single action; multi-step zap = multiple tasks per trigger.
Alternatives: Make (Integromat, $9/mo cheaper), n8n (open-source self-host), Pipedream (developer-friendly), Workato (enterprise). Zapier wins on ecosystem breadth + UX simplicity.
