Zapier is the automation platform most people start with — and for good reason. It connects 7,000+ apps with a simple trigger-action model that requires zero coding. If you need Gmail to talk to Slack or Stripe to update a Google Sheet, Zapier handles it in minutes. Its simplicity is its superpower, though that simplicity becomes a limitation as automations grow more complex.
