Automate Your Work with Zapier's Most Popular Workflows

There's so much to do each day, it's hard to find the time to simplify your work and find ways to cut out the busywork.

With a tool like Zapier, our app automation platform that connects over 750 apps, there are ways for almost everyone to work more efficiently. Zaps–workflows you can create to send data between web apps–can file info, copy information, reach out to contacts, share content, and much more automatically. Instead of wasting minutes manually moving each piece of data for each task, Zapier would get your busywork done for you.

So you can spend more time on work that really matters.

All you need is a few minutes to set up Zaps—but where should you start?

We've written the book for you.
