What is Zapier?

Zapier connects applications that do not talk to each other natively. You build Zaps - when this happens in one app, do that in another - across thousands of supported services, with multi-step paths and conditional logic. The newer addition is agents: instead of hard-coding each step you describe an outcome and let an agent decide which actions to take, including planned AI steps and chatbot-style interfaces. This is how teams without engineers build substantial automation, and its integration coverage is what makes it hard to replace.

FAQ

Do I need coding skills?

No. Standard Zaps are configured through a form interface. Some steps accept JavaScript or Python, but they are optional for most workflows.

Is Zapier still relevant now that AI agents exist?

Yes. Agents need somewhere to act, and Zapier's integration coverage is that layer - agent platforms generally connect through it rather than replacing it.

Why did my bill increase?

Almost always task volume. Every step of every run counts, so a multi-step Zap triggered frequently consumes far more than expected. Audit step counts before scaling up.
