What Zapier does
Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects more than 9,000 apps. You build Zaps, where an event in one app triggers actions in others, such as saving form entries to a spreadsheet and posting to Slack. It now adds AI agents that act across your apps, chatbots, tables for storing data, forms, and an MCP server that lets assistants like Claude and ChatGPT use Zapier actions. Pricing is based on how many tasks your automations run each month.
