What is Zapier?
Zapier is a cloud-based automation platform that connects over 6,000 apps — the largest number on the market — allowing you to create automations (Zaps) without writing a single line of code. Founded in 2011 and used by many businesses worldwide, the platform is considered the easiest to use, but also the most expensive.
How Does Zapier Work?
In Zapier, you build Zaps — automations with a trigger + action:
- Trigger: "When a new lead arrives in Facebook Lead Ads"
- Action: "Save to Google Sheets + send an email"
