Zapier: Connect different web-based applications
Zapier is an IFTTT (IF This Then That) application that connects one application to another through a “Zap”. An event on one application is a “Trigger” that results in an “Action” happening on another app. Choose from hundreds of applications. See the list here (Links to an external site.). Popular applications include: Gmail, Mailchimp, Trello, Google Drive, Facebook, Typeform, Google Forms, Zoho CRM, Quickbooks, Salesforce. The free plan only allows up to 5 Zaps so plan
accordingly; view the pricing model here (Links to an external site.).
How does it work?
- Connect the accounts for the web applications you want to connect
- Select the trigger for what you want to activate the Zap (the “IF this” part of IFTTT)
- Identify the Action for what you want the Zap to do (the “Then That” part of IFTTT)
- Turn the Zap on (and make sure to test it!)
Examples:

Action: Create a New Record on Knack
2. Goal: Send an Email via Gmail for Updated Spreadsheets
