Data Infrastructure · zapier.com
Overview
Zapier is a cloud-based workflow automation platform that lets businesses connect apps and automate multi-step tasks without writing code. Users build "Zaps" that trigger on an event in one app and automatically move, transform, or act on data in another. It has grown into the largest independent integration platform, connecting over 9,000 web apps.
The problem Zapier solves
Ops and RevOps teams often need data to flow between a CRM, marketing tool, support desk, and spreadsheets, but rarely have engineering bandwidth to build and maintain custom integrations. Zapier solves this by letting non-technical users build multi-step "Zaps" that trigger on an event in one app and automatically move or transform data in another, connecting over 9,000 apps without writing code.
