“What a tool! What possibilities! What a time saver! What does Zapier do? Integrate and connect various tools, automate workflows … and save time. So, indirectly they help me in my development, because they save me so much time that I can fully focus on learning, reading, reflecting … And working of course.” Matthias Vermeulen, Belgium

“How did we connect Slack and Harvest? You guessed it. The same way that we connect all kinds of tools and create all sorts of custom automations. Zapier. I worked in product management and occasionally had to talk intelligently about APIs. I don’t know that I ever did. With Zapier, I’ve become an expert at connecting different products to make them hum. When you find yourself repeating the same process over and over, ask yourself if Zapier can help.” Tim Waxenfelter, USA

“Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your apps and services. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration. I use Zapier to do time-saving things like connecting user registration info from an online form to automatically enrol people in a webinar and/or related MailChimp learning campaigns.” Mike Taylor, USA, 2020
