About Zapier
Back to topZapier is a web-based service that enables Operators to integrate the web applications they use and repeatedly automate what they do! Their integrated apps include Google Sheets, Gmail, Slack and MailChimp, just to name a few. View their full list of integrated apps here.
Zapier has named their automated, integrated tasks - Zaps! A Zap workflow consists of a trigger and an action - when this happens (trigger), do something (action).
For example, when you receive a new Gmail message, you can automatically have the attachments saved to Google Drive. Very handy!
