I use Zapier for several automation workflows like integrating forms with my CRM and bringing data from Facebook Leads into my CRM. Even if my CRM doesn't have native apps, I often find workarounds. The interface is really friendly and intuitive for anyone starting with automations. The support and AI features are getting better. Although the initial setup felt scary, I got familiar with the options and tools really fast, and the ability to create complex workflows with just a few clicks is great.
Also, the speed of the workflow is incredible.
You can test each step in less than a second.
The email parser tool really was a game changer, because I can bring a lot of data from my emails and adapt them to bring data into the automation.
Filters and Lockuptables also made my experiences more tailored, so I can make automations that fit my specific needs.
Formatter and Storage tools made it possible to make a round robin scenario to deliver deals to different users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The AI bot isn’t always fast at finding errors, but it’s improving. Also, some really important apps are marked as “premium,” and at times the billing conditions aren’t the best. In the beginning, the setup felt a bit “scary,” but you get familiar with the options and tools pretty quickly.
I also think LinkedIn could use more triggers as an app, because I have a lot of usage scenarios that just don’t fit into Zapier.
Finally, I prefer the “drag and drop” approach for building automations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
