Zapier Overview
Zapier is an excellent productivity program that ensures that important data doesn’t get forgotten and saves you from doing repetitive tasks.
The web-based system automates your workflow by asking a simple question – “if this happens, then what should happen next.” For example, if you get an email with an attachment from a client, then Zapier should automatically download the attachment and upload it to your Asana or Slack board. Each of these workflow actions is called a Zap.
Setting up Zapier Workflow
Zapier works with over 3,000 apps and can handle a wide range of actions, so you can focus on the results and not the repetitive tasks.
There are several different subscription tiers with Zapier. The free version includes 5 Zaps, checks for updates at 15-minute intervals, and only supports single-step Zaps. If you follow the instructions above, you’ll start with a 14-day free trial that unlocks the premium features.
Zapier Features
There is a wide range of Zapier integrations that are geared to make your life easier and your business run smoother.
Some of the different types of automation include:
Schedule Repetitive Tasks
You can schedule repetitive events that will be completed daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. For example, if you send out a weekly email to your team, create a schedule Zap to send out the email. You only have to fill in who should receive the email, the message, and any attachments, and Zapier will send it out based on your schedule.
Transfer data from one app to another
As someone who receives tasks and messages from various platforms such as email, Slacks, Asana, and others, there is a convenient way to streamline your workflow. By setting up a trigger, you can automatically transfer incoming tasks to your to-do list based on specific keywords or from a particular contact. This ensures that important tasks are efficiently organized and accessible.
Automate the Busy Work
Automating busy work, such as copying and pasting data from your email to a spreadsheet, is important but can be time-consuming and boring. Set up a Zap, and it will automatically complete the job for you.
