About Zapier
Founded in 2011, Zapier has helped over 1.8 million individuals and businesses with their automation needs.
The ease of use - comfortable UI that allows the user to implement a process flow is a great way for us to automate tasks across multiple platforms.
Unfortunately, it can be a little limited, mostly to the other tools' fault and not zapier. Because the triggers and actions can be very limited.

Zapier in review
Comments: Good scope of functionality & easy to use. Quick to get going and get things up and running.
Pros:
The vast library of connectors to ad from different platforms.
Cons:
The costing can sometimes make it unfeasible.
A safe bet for experienced users
Comments: I've been using Zapier for many years now, as a paid version, and I've seen it evolve a lot. The platform knows how to adapt to trends, even if it would benefit from being more accessible in terms of price and complexity.
Pros:
the platform is very comprehensive, enabling you to create both very simple automations and very advanced scenarios if you know enough about them
Cons:
The most advanced automations are difficult to get to grips with, and the learning curve is long enough to put off newcomers. Artificial intelligence was a good idea, but unfortunately not effective enough.
Connect Your Best Tools

Pros:
It is such an extremely useful tool that allows you to integrate all of the best possible softwares for your business

Streamline Your Workflow with Automation
Comments: My overall experience is very positive, By automating repetitive tasks, Zapier frees up valuable time for me and my team, allowing us to focus on more strategic activities. This boost in productivity can lead to significant improvements in overall business efficiency.
Pros:
We do have an online store and , Zapier is a powerful tool for anyone looking to streamline their workflows and increase productivity through automation. Its extensive integrations, user-friendly interface, and flexible pricing make it accessible to a wide range of users, from individuals to large enterprises. We are a small enterprise and was an excellent cost-benefit ratio.
Cons:
Although Zapier is user-friendly, creating complex multi-step Zaps with conditional logic can still require a bit of a learning curve. Users might need to spend some time experimenting to fully leverage its capabilities.
Alternatives Considered:
Useful tool for multi-system integration
Comments: Very positive, very important tool for us.
Pros:
Being able to do basically anything/any automation with any system
Cons:
Creating a zap isn't the most user-friendly, plus stuff fails occasionally for no real reason, and they don't notify properly
I manage to automate my work time.
Comments: Jumping from platform to platform to be able to carry out certain tasks such as importing and exporting data between them, performing automations with Zapier is vital for my day to day since in a simple panel and with the platforms correctly connected I can optimize my workflow. This tool saves time within my company on jobs that would take a long time to complete, with the simple fact of already programming a task that connects different actions from different platforms with just a few clicks a series of actions are already triggered, saving me a lot of time in the process. This platform is essential within my company because it has native integration with practically any platform that is currently used in the work world and in case a complete integration is not available, they can be created manually, although it will cost a little effort but it is worth it.
Pros:
This tool makes it easier for me to optimize my workflow since I can connect multiple tools from different platforms in a very simple way since Zapier has a complete and native integration of a variety of platforms. It also has an advanced way of optimizing integrations since it has a developer mode in which through code I can be more specific with the tasks I want to automate, so the possibilities are endless since you can configure the actions to my liking. I can create automations both by data entry as well as by a scheduled date and time that are executed at the time I want, with this I make sure that everything is done correctly, thus being able to have more control over what I want to automate. I receive updates on the execution process or when a Zap has already been completed, and if something fails in the automation I am also notified. All of this can be customized, thus being able to choose which notifications I want Zapier to send me and how I want it to send me the notifications.
Cons:
The integration is a bit complicated at first, because it requires going through the steep learning curve that Zapier has, since without the proper knowledge, a bad optimization can be created when creating the automatic tasks that involve doing a series of steps between different connected platforms. I consider that the cost is a bit higher than normal, this leads to having to make a summary of the zaps to be created in order not to overload the system and waste unnecessary money for each task created. Some integrations with certain platforms lack functionalities unlike directly connecting the other platforms to each other. This leads to frustration because I use Zapier to create an optimization which sometimes requires me to take extra steps when I do not have a certain functionality that is not directly integrated into Zapier.
Review for Zapier - Automation software
Comments: My experience with Zapier has been mostly positive. It has significantly streamlined our workflows by automating tasks and integrating seamlessly with our essential applications. The ability to create custom workflows tailored to our needs has been particularly valuable. While the pricing can be a concern as our needs grow, Zapier's reliability and flexibility make it an indispensable tool for improving efficiency and productivity.
Pros:
What I liked most about Zapier was its seamless ability to automate tasks and integrate with a wide range of applications. This streamlined our workflows, saving us significant time and effort. The reliability of Zapier's automation ensured our workflows ran smoothly, and its extensive integrations allowed us to create comprehensive solutions tailored to our business needs. Overall, Zapier greatly improved our workflow efficiency and productivity.
Cons:
What I liked least about Zapier was its pricing structure, which can become expensive as the number of tasks and integrations increase. While the basic plan is affordable, scaling up can incur additional costs. Occasionally, setting up more complex workflows required more effort and time due to the need to troubleshoot and adjust configurations.

Excellent tool to integrate applications without technical knowledge
Comments: I am a web designer and sometimes I need to integrate localized forms into my website, so that they can be integrated with other tools such as CRM, Google Sheets, etc. For example, on one of my websites, it was easy for me to integrate a form created in Gravity Forms with the Odoo CRM.
Pros:
What I like most about Zapier is the number of apps we can integrate without having any programming knowledge. I've had very specific projects where I have to integrate two or more apps and when I look in Zapier, they already have a way to integrate them, this saves me from having to pay someone to do the integration for me.
Cons:
I would say the prices are a bit high, also, the first time I used it, I had a hard time understanding how it works.
Best Tool for Streamlined Marketing Automation
Comments: t’s a powerful tool that makes automation easy and saves me a lot of time on repetitive tasks. It helps streamline my marketing processes, like lead management and email follow-ups, without needing technical skills. Overall, it’s reliable and easy to use, making my work much more efficient.
Pros:
it connects all my marketing tools easily. It saves me a lot of time by automating tasks like adding leads to my CRM & sending follow-up emails. The interface is simple, and it makes my work faster and more organized.
Cons:
Zapier is more expensive. While it’s very helpful, the pricing can be high for small teams or businesses. Also, some advanced workflows require higher plans, which aren’t always affordable.
You don't need to be a developer to use Zapier
Comments: It has allowed non developer skilled people within our team to be able to integrate two of our most important platforms together seamlessly.
Pros:
Easiest non technical way to integrate products and platforms together.
Cons:
It can become technical if you are looking for a deep integration, however using logic often can help most complete setting up zaps.
Zapier is pretty good
Comments: overall it's pretty good and I continue to pay about $100/mo for the service.
Pros:
Zapier is a great idea. I love that you can sync any app. It's also the most popuplar platform of it's kind so it has the most number of apps integrated into it's ecosystem.
Cons:
Zaps always break or appear to be broken. For example, I have an zap that's been running for months and I get a daily notification of a possible error. When I log in, it appears to be working fine. It takes hours to try to figure out what the issue is. I haven't used other platforms that do the same thing so can't say if that's a problem related to zapier or if it's just an issue with this type of platform.

A powerhouse software. Worth the price
Comments: Zapier is a huge part of my business. To be honest, I wouldn’t know what to do without it.

I love zapier and will continue to use it for years to come.
Pros:
-Connects with lots of different softwares and allows me to seamlessly bring data between different platforms -Can send me an email when the zap is complete -Let’s me know if there is an error in the process

Zapier is hugely configurable and it is the metaphorical glue that holds so much business infrastructure together. It works great, and it integrates with almost every product you've heard of.
