Endless possibilities for our non technical teams.I enjoy that it does all the work for me when moving lists,also how Zapier executes our actions at a particular time of our choice is incredible.Finally it has so many options to automatize a lot of things and is extremely easy to learn and use.

Cons

Apart from the upgraded plan being costly I have encountered no hitches using this platform.

Pros

Zapier is hugely configurable and it is the metaphorical glue that holds so much business infrastructure together. It works great, and it integrates with almost every product you've heard of.

Cons

Some of the integrations are very limited, and this really limits the ability of Zapier to do what it does best. For example, some products are only read only, or have triggers but no actions.

Pros

It made our tasks automation incredibly easy in the process of integrating our app with external websites, apps and services. The setup was not extremely hard even without extense knowledge. We set up a workflow to add new leads on our loyalty website that came from Facebook Ads.

Cons

You have to be careful with the cost and the features you might end up using. We did not have that problem but we noticed it could get high, specially for startups with tight budget as we were.

Pros

I like the way Zapier simplifies automation, connecting your favorite apps seamlessly. It's a time-saving powerhouse for streamlining workflows.

Cons

Zapier is the best and has no downfalls.

Pros

I like how easy it is to link to other services and providers we use. Using Zapier we can link Calendly and our CRM up so that those who book through Calendly show in the CRM.

Cons

Changing some of the connected services was not easy to begin with. If there were videos it would be a great help.

Pros

Zapier has flexibility in handling data from different sources simultaneously.

Cons

Users may need to carefully configure Zaps to handle multiple data sources effectively, and this process can be complex for some users.

Pros

This tool makes it easier for me to optimize my workflow since I can connect multiple tools from different platforms in a very simple way since Zapier has a complete and native integration of a variety of platforms. It also has an advanced way of optimizing integrations since it has a developer mode in which through code I can be more specific with the tasks I want to automate, so the possibilities are endless since you can configure the actions to my liking.

I can create automations both by data entry as well as by a scheduled date and time that are executed at the time I want, with this I make sure that everything is done correctly, thus being able to have more control over what I want to automate.

I receive updates on the execution process or when a Zap has already been completed, and if something fails in the automation I am also notified. All of this can be customized, thus being able to choose which notifications I want Zapier to send me and how I want it to send me the notifications.

Cons

The integration is a bit complicated at first, because it requires going through the steep learning curve that Zapier has, since without the proper knowledge, a bad optimization can be created when creating the automatic tasks that involve doing a series of steps between different connected platforms.

I consider that the cost is a bit higher than normal, this leads to having to make a summary of the zaps to be created in order not to overload the system and waste unnecessary money for each task created.

Some integrations with certain platforms lack functionalities unlike directly connecting the other platforms to each other. This leads to frustration because I use Zapier to create an optimization which sometimes requires me to take extra steps when I do not have a certain functionality that is not directly integrated into Zapier.

Pros

It's incredibly easy and quick to create automations and save myself time with Zapier. Whenever we have tools that can communicate with each other, I try to set it up through Zapier as opposed to another program simply to avoid coding. Troubleshooting is super easy as well where you can fix the automation you made and then re-run the issue.

Cons

The test data feature can be annoying. Zapier doesn't have an easy way to send a specific piece of data through an automation for testing, rather, you're required to import whatever the app provides which can sometimes be old data or unusable for what you're doing.
The task automation quotas can also become tight, as each individual task pulls from a monthly usage.

Pros

Allows you to overcome the challenges of software interaction and automation in a user friendly and simple way. Automations and user interfaces are slick, clean, easy to build, and less problematic due to the easy to follow Zapier code free programming.

Cons

The only downfall is that not every piece of software has connectivity.

Pros

Zapier is a powerful and flexible automation tool that makes connecting different apps and tools easy without any coding needed. What I liked most is the user-friendly interface that makes creating “Zaps” (automated workflows) intuitive and quick. It offers a wide range of integrations with popular apps, enabling nearly any automation you can think of. For example, automatically sending data from Google Sheets to Slack saves a lot of time.

Cons

One downside to Zapier is the limitation of the free plan, which allows only a few automations before requiring a paid subscription. Additionally, some advanced automation can feel a bit pricey, especially for small businesses. A few advanced features may also require a bit of a learning curve.

Pros

- AI-based i.e. I can describe to AI what I need and it will recommend Zap formulas
- Integration to commonly-used platforms e.g. Hubspot, Google Forms, and Zendesk
- real-time notifications on Gmail
- troubleshooting section whreby it provides a detailed reason why Zap did not work plus recommendations on how to fix it
- community-based support, very agile and very expert on product

Cons

- it can be intimidating at first but for someone who has zero experience, you’ll get a hang of it in a few hours of training

Pros

What I liked most about Zapier was its seamless ability to automate tasks and integrate with a wide range of applications. This streamlined our workflows, saving us significant time and effort. The reliability of Zapier's automation ensured our workflows ran smoothly, and its extensive integrations allowed us to create comprehensive solutions tailored to our business needs. Overall, Zapier greatly improved our workflow efficiency and productivity.

Cons

What I liked least about Zapier was its pricing structure, which can become expensive as the number of tasks and integrations increase. While the basic plan is affordable, scaling up can incur additional costs. Occasionally, setting up more complex workflows required more effort and time due to the need to troubleshoot and adjust configurations.

Pros

We do have an online store and , Zapier is a powerful tool for anyone looking to streamline their workflows and increase productivity through automation. Its extensive integrations, user-friendly interface, and flexible pricing make it accessible to a wide range of users, from individuals to large enterprises. We are a small enterprise and was an excellent cost-benefit ratio.

Cons

Although Zapier is user-friendly, creating complex multi-step Zaps with conditional logic can still require a bit of a learning curve. Users might need to spend some time experimenting to fully leverage its capabilities.

Reasons for Switching to Zapier

Pros

Zapier is free for a certain volume of tasks each month, after which you can pay to increase capacity. The free amount is still substantial enough for a lot of basic data importing/exporting from different sources. If you are using it to bring things into a single database from various programs/sources, you can configure conditions and have the data reformatted to fit what it needs to look like.

Cons

It can take some getting used to, the basic setup may be daunting at first. Once you figure it out things are great, but it may take some searching or experimentation to find the data you're looking for or get the correct process going.

Pros

What I like most about Zapier is the number of apps we can integrate without having any programming knowledge.

I've had very specific projects where I have to integrate two or more apps and when I look in Zapier, they already have a way to integrate them, this saves me from having to pay someone to do the integration for me.

Cons

I would say the prices are a bit high, also, the first time I used it, I had a hard time understanding how it works.

Pros

Allows me to connect various tools to get the unique workflows we need.

Cons

It can be tricky to set up depending on how tech savvy you are.

I like that Zapier has infinite possibilities of automation if you are creative enough.very simple and easy to use even for team members who are not tech savvy.

Nothing so far everything is working just as we've always wanted.

it connects all my marketing tools easily. It saves me a lot of time by automating tasks like adding leads to my CRM & sending follow-up emails. The interface is simple, and it makes my work faster and more organized.

Cons

Zapier is more expensive. While it’s very helpful, the pricing can be high for small teams or businesses. Also, some advanced workflows require higher plans, which aren’t always affordable.

Pros

It's easy to use and has helped save me more time than I can account for. As a single person operations, I don't think I would be able to survive as a business without Zapier.

Cons

I wish there more integrations with other tools that I use.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Zapier

Pros

Zapier is a great idea. I love that you can sync any app. It's also the most popuplar platform of it's kind so it has the most number of apps integrated into it's ecosystem.

Cons

Zaps always break or appear to be broken. For example, I have an zap that's been running for months and I get a daily notification of a possible error. When I log in, it appears to be working fine. It takes hours to try to figure out what the issue is. I haven't used other platforms that do the same thing so can't say if that's a problem related to zapier or if it's just an issue with this type of platform.

Pros

Easiest non technical way to integrate products and platforms together.

Cons

It can become technical if you are looking for a deep integration, however using logic often can help most complete setting up zaps.

Pros

Zapier gives me and my clients back countless hours of project management time by making tasks happen instantaneously that would have manually taken hours!

It's easy to use and has great customer support!

Cons

It takes time to learn how Zapier works (tips and ways to use more efficiently) so it's hard to learn by trial and error. If you take some time to watch a few tutorials/read a few articles and learn how to use the platform, you will be able to use it much more efficiently!

Some of my toughest challenges were because I didn't understand Zapier terminology!

Reasons for Switching to Zapier

Pros

Pros

-Connects with lots of different softwares and allows me to seamlessly bring data between different platforms
-Can send me an email when the zap is complete
-Let’s me know if there is an error in the process

Cons

I honestly have none. I have liked everything with zapier.

Pros

It automates those annoying, time-consuming and repetitive tasks that used to slow me down, freeing me up to focus on my design work.

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve to set up the automations (Zaps), but there are tons of tutorials, and honestly, it's worth the effort for the time I save now.

Pros

It feels that new native integrations are always being introduced to Zapier and some tools that had to be manually managed are now there from the start.

We used Zapier on some of our trickiest integrations where other tools as Integromat were not covering us enough.

Cons

The pricing model is quite expensive and limiting, we have very few users with high capacity requirement, often we ended up paying extra.

Pros

all good i like everything about zapier

Cons

nothing telll all good . good soft ware easy to use

Pros

A must-have to connect apps together and build an efficient sales machine

Cons

It works for most cases, but I could not make it work to automate replies to comments on my Instagram ads

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Zapier

Pros

Zapier is definitely the best automation and integration tool on the market right now. We use it to automate various tasks, from scheduling meetings to generating lead acquisition reports and more. It works well with most tools and is very simple to set up.

Cons

The integrations sometimes experience a delay in reporting an issue. If you publish an automated action and, for some reason, it isn't working, the tool will send you an email a few minutes later instead of instantly reporting the problem. This can occasionally delay work processes.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Zapier

Pros

The seamless integration between different platforms was by far the most important feature. Instead of hiring an employee to manually manage the leads throughout our marketing campaigns, I was able to automate the process saving time and capital.

Cons

For certain Zaps, after they were created and initiated, it was hard to edit them. I had to recreate the entire instance. Also, the price increases tremendously the more zaps you use.

Pros

Zapier is great for integrating multiple products together and get information in all of the places you need it.

Cons

You have to stay on top of Zap errors and make sure everything is going through correctly. It's not a huge con but something to be aware of!
