What is Zapier?
Zapier pioneered app automation for everyone. The platform connects 5000+ apps through simple triggers and actions called Zaps, where you build workflows by picking "when this happens, do that." Through its straightforward approach, it turns multi-step tasks into automated processes that anyone can create.

- Multi-step Zaps that handle complex workflows.
