Overall Satisfaction with Zapier

We use Zapier at Learning in Bloom to streamline processes organization-wide. We heavily depend on it for managing social media and for making sure we never miss a lead or sale opportunity. Some of the solutions it provides us:

• Automating intake forms and email follow ups
• Sharing information and posts across social media platforms
• Keyword research
• Project management

One of the best things I've found about Zapier is actually introducing us to other apps that I would have never heard of. I can explore solutions that others have found, and that's resulted in finding several apps that are perfect for our small organization.
  • Integration with a wide variety of apps
  • Intuitive step-by-step instructions
  • A free trial version to test out the service
  • Sometimes the number of possible fields are numerous, and it can be hard to figure out just what is necessary or what may result in some unhelpful zaps -- it's a question of trial and error (which is fine) but just be aware that there are many field options for some apps.
  • Not all the services I use are supported (e.g. Dubsado) so I can't use it for 100% of my operations.
  • Saves time
  • Saves money
  • Reduces
  • More efficiency
Zapier integrates with many more apps than IFTTT and I find it does not have as many glitches. For some reason, not all my "applets" in IFTTT would work all the time, whereas with Zapier I have not run into the same issue. If you are a business, invest in Zapier over IFTTT to make sure all those processes run smoothly.
Zapier is perfect for any organization or department that wants to save time. You will need to have at least one person dedicated to figuring out how to use it well and do an audit to see how many processes can be improved using Zapier. I would say that any organization that is high-risk and handles a lot of sensitive information (finance, etc.) might need to go through some extra hoops to make sure that everything is safe, but I cannot think of a scenario where you couldn't use Zapier at all unless you do not use any cloud-based apps.
