Zapier Reviews

Zapier is perfect when you have chosen other software for various different purposes, or are already using various different software packages, and you want to be able to connect data or statuses from one area to another. Zapier is not something you should use or rely on if you don’t need it! It doesn’t always have the level of integration or sophistication that a direct, native integration would have.

Zapier has been great for us in many instances and allows us to create operational workflows and processes very quickly and without reliance on limited engineering resources. We've used Zapier to:

• Highlight key activities in business (new sign ups, missing information, cancellations, key successful events of our users).
• Post key events, as above to Slack or Email.
• Efficient updating of parts of our in-house built applications and many more.

The simpler the process the better. If the process is more complicated with many conditions, then lots of thought and planning is needed prior to building and implementing a zap.

[Zapier is] perfect for small teams, I can set up different workflows for the different programs or apps that I'm using and it can trigger all at once without issues. I encounter issues specifically with the Hubspot CRM platform, seems like they're missing a few features but is something I fixed around to it to make it work.

As described previously, we have used Zapier to send leads from a HIPAA-compliant Formsite form to SharpSpring to track leads. We also used it to send data on people who signed up for an event on Eventbrite to SharpSpring to track which marketing campaigns they came from and for future marketing. In both cases it was extremely easy to use Zapier to connect the two programs, something I have no idea we could have done otherwise, except by manually exporting the contacts, then importing them into SharpSpring.

[Zapier is well suited for] connecting online forms to spreadsheets or mailing list services. Practically anything where you need one service you use in your business to provide an input to another service you use, or to collect data from it so you can process it later.

I also use it heavily to connect automated processes like purchasing of online courses to manual processes in my business using services such as Manifestly.

It's awesome for solopreneurs and SMBs wanting to automate their own business or automate their clients' sales pipeline - meaning you can implement it into your SMB's business as well (not only for lead generation).

Due to lack of experience with using Zapier in large corporates, I'm not sure if it's well suited for it, but I doubt the right person can't find the right functionality to make it work. It's very easy to use and offers tons of APIs.

Zapier does a great job providing businesses with an option, other than custom web development, to integrate multiple platforms, trigger new actions, and assess incoming data.

I would recommend Zapier for small teams where everyone is very hands-on and would be able to elevate an issue if something breaks. It's a great tool, but it's a little risky to rely on it for a lot of your internal processes, simply because you may not know if something has stopped working because of a software update or change in the integrations.
For small little fixes, personal productivity, and notifications/tasks it's a home run.

Zapier is excellent for helping apps automatically talk to each other. It allows you to create a more unanimous business system, pulling in the strengths of multiple specialist apps into a customized system for your business. And it's a huge time saver and error reducer!

If you are using a variety of legacy software that doesn't have API connections then Zapier is your saviour. It can not only make a connection between them but you can also add extra steps and processes to get the most out of both pieces of software (or more). On the downside, the learning curve is a bit steep at times and it can be frustrating get a zap to work for the first time, so non-technical people may have issues. Most times it's easy, but when it's not, it's not.

Huge time-saving program.

If you have a business where you are marketing online then Zapier is for you. When someone expresses interest on a form a zap will send them exactly where you want them to go.

If you want to connect for instance Facebook forms or linkedin forms to your CRM (Salesforce for example) , it is the most appropriate tool to get all your leads directly into it without typing anything.

You can update your leads in both ways from your automation tool and CRM.

You can connect all your forms to your crm and it is very efficient .

Great for people who don’t understand how APIs work or function. Not good for people who don’t have admin access to many services.

Zapier is an excellent tool for lead notification. It is well suited for any organization that needs to have specific person or persons notified immediately as leads are entered. We used it specifically with Facebook Ads.

Zapier is great for reasonably nimble tech workers who would like the functionality that Zaps offers but don’t have the programming skills.

If you use any sort of CRM and also have a website that captures data you need to have Zapier. The only way that data is useful is if it is actionable, which it certainly will be if you connect your website and CRM via a Zap. Any type of sales-oriented business needs this. Also, if you have multiple databases that you find yourself having to copy and paste information from one into another you can save time and decrease human error by automating the process. Even if you aren't using a CRM connecting your website forms to a Google Sheet is incredibly helpful. I'm not sure who I wouldn't recommend Zapier to. Perhaps extremely small businesses.

Zapier can be used to connect almost any 2 modern web applications. It's a really great utility to move data between disparate platforms.

Almost anyone can use Zapier to automate tasks and I would recommend it to just about anyone that has a business or works within a business.

I highly recommend Zapier because it solves a lot of issues that you wouldn't otherwise find a solution to. In the past, you would have to wait for individual companies to develop integrations with each other, which is still the best in my opinion, but Zapier is leaps and bounds ahead of the individual integrations. They make it very easy for us to find solutions we otherwise wouldn't be able to solve.

For various systems, Zapier is excellent at delivering notifications or triggering reports based on scenarios (uptime notifications from Pingdom, PagerDuty notifications for unsupported systems). It is also excellent for creating tickets based on events (bug reports create and assign helpdesk tickets based on rules). Essentially when events occur Zapier is a quick way to create a workflow that automatically subtracts a few manual steps from normal behavior. That being said, since there is no two way sync or complex modifiers, it is not useful as a reporting or analytics replacement.

Zapier is ideal for adding two apps together. It's very streamlined and makes it so easy to make it and forget it. It doesn't work as well with connecting social media platforms together but they are working on that. It has worked wonderfully when connecting our database and our email provider as well as Zoom and Dropbox.

My most frequent use of Zapier is enabling the integration between my email and my text messages. I receive a text message whenever one of my clients emails me, which enables me to be amazingly responsive without being tied to my computer all day.

We needed Zapier to connect our email tool to our CRM. We used this tool to save us time and money of having to pay and get a connector.
