Overview

What is Zapier?

How Zaps behave in practice

A Zap starts with a trigger, then runs one or more actions across connected services. The visual editor handles filters, branching paths, delays, formatting, webhooks and reusable data fields without requiring a conventional codebase. Its app catalog is the main draw: common sales, marketing, support and productivity tools usually have ready-made triggers and actions. Complex workflows still need careful testing because sample records, authentication changes and field mappings can break a run.

Plans and task costs

PlanTypical fit
FreeBasic, low-volume workflows
ProfessionalMulti-step automation and premium apps
TeamShared workspaces and collaboration
EnterpriseAdvanced administration and governance

Paid usage is metered mainly by successful tasks, so one business event can consume several tasks. Annual billing lowers the advertised monthly rate. Costs can climb quickly when volume grows or a workflow loops unexpectedly.
