Zapier Initial Setup

Dimitris Goudis - PeerSpot reviewer
Airtable developer - Tableau analyst at Freelance

The initial setup was very easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud. The deployment process takes a maximum of one hour if it's something very simple and not more than four hours if you have a more complex scenario.

The initial setup is actually the easiest among the three tools: Zapier, Make, and n8n. With Make and n8n, you need to have some understanding of technology, at least knowing what a webhook or field is. But Zapier simplifies it with more common English terms. For example, instead of "new role," it would say "new task." So I believe getting started with Zapier is better than the other two.

Right after you set it up, you can do simple things with it and start generating your ROI, just like with Insightly. You can also make things extremely complex and generate a huge ROI if you need that automation. The setup is as easy or complex as you want it to be.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's essentially a low-code platform for making API and web calls.

I would say that the initial setup process was quite straightforward. It also took a little time to learn and understand all the features and settings. But once we got the hang of those things, it was straightforward to use it.

Setting up Zapier didn't take me long because I had the help of a developer. I would have found the process difficult if I had done it all by myself. After the setup, whenever I encounter an issue with Zapier, I know how to solve it without going back to the developer.

If you’ve never used a third-party plugin to connect applications before, it can seem confusing. But after doing one or two Zaps, I have found it fairly easy for a tech-savvy person to figure it out. There are some functions that are more difficult to leverage, which will require an average person to seek help.

The global setup was easy. The only difficulty was getting the proper event to happen in order to build the Zap from that sample data.

We sometimes had a hard time waiting until specific events happened and for some fields to be available for the setup.

It's a SaaS product. We don't have to install it on any device.

There is no technical team needed for the installation as there is no such installation required.

The initial setup is easy. A “zap" starts with a trigger, then an optional filter, and actions that are offered. You just have to select.

The initial setup was very straightforward. The UI is incredibly intuitive and helpful. The more powerful aspects of Zapier took a minute to learn, but we were able to learn how to do those on our own, without much training.

There's no real setup involved. Only the different integrations need a setup, which is really supported and guided by Zapier. It's hard to do anything wrong.

The setup is very straightforward. Each step is numbered and you constantly know what step you are on. Each step also involves a test and allows you to view sample data as you move through the workflow.

The setup is straightforward. Integrations with solutions tend to be OAuth-based, which makes it very simple. Beyond that, there is no real setup other than individual Zaps. That can be as complex or straightforward as you want, depending on what you're trying to make them do.

Everything was very straightforward. The first deployment itself was a couple of days. And then every time we have new requests coming in, they're doing it in a day or two. With all the testing and everything, it takes a couple of days, maximum.

It is a bit complex to learn how webhooks work and how to leverage them. The initial learning curve can be steep, particularly for non-technical people. Once you've learned it, it's quite simple/straightforward. The tool makes it as simple as possible.
