Zapier

How Zapier Works

Zapier functions on a simple automation principle:

1. Trigger: A defined event in one app (e.g., receiving a new email in Outlook).
2. Action: A response in another app (e.g., adding the email details to a Trello board).

Users can create Zaps, which are automated workflows consisting of multiple triggers and actions. These workflows allow businesses to connect apps that don’t natively integrate and eliminate manual data transfer between tools.
