Zapier Primary Use Case

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

I use Zapier for my customers, especially those who have already started using Zapier to create automation between their applications. Also, it is a very competitive tool in the market.

It is very extensive when it comes to the integrations it has. So if a particular tool that I'm looking for does not have integrations with Make or n8n, then I'll check whether it has Zapier.

If it does, I use it only for that particular workflow. So I use it only when I cannot use Make or n8n.

Zapier is a third-party automation software that connects other applications to each other. I use it to track the clicks I make. Zapier Automation can delete records automatically or add records with certain links between the contact and the opportunity. It can connect to your QuickBooks software, grab accounting data, and bring it into your opportunity. If you want to integrate with PandaDoc and you want to see the status of the e-signature document and at what price it is, you can then put that data back into the opportunity record so it's always updated in Insightly and get your dashboard reports.

Zapier's use case is similar to that of Pipedream, but the only big difference is that the former would have in-built functionalities to offer to users, especially in the areas concerning products like Google Sheets or HubSpot. Zapier is more seamless to use due to its in-built features, but sometimes there would be issues with bugs or Zaps not firing, so there are certain nuances you have to play with in Zapier that are not very understandable unless you actually check if Zaps are fired and see if it works for yourself.

Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana. It's very very similar to QuickDesk's pipeline feature but offers more depth. Another example would be integrating with apps like Airtable, Salesforce, or Hub. Zapier has connections for all of these platforms, making it easy to connect and move data. It's essentially a tool for automating tasks.

Our primary use case for Zapier is to get leads from our Google Ads landing pages. We also send leads from our Calendly appointments with it and then send those to Salesforce.

We use Zapier to connect AirTable to other apps that live on Zapier's platform, like QuickBooks, Google Drive, and Google Docs. We also use Zapier for automated document creation utilizing webhooks, pulling in data from a WordPress site or form software into AirTable. When consulting a client and trying to connect different apps, I often utilize Zapier if it can't be done through AirTable's automation.

Zapier is more on the notification side. We're doing work for a last-mile logistics company which deals with vegetables, meaning that it's farm to table. They're trying to eliminate storage and they want to make it as fresh as possible to the table itself.

They have their GPS-enabled vehicles, and sometimes trucks, picking it up. So they have to track them all. They have to track all vehicles, whether it's their own or third-party, all the way, for all exceptions, and then suitably handle it.

They also have the delivery sites and there are a lot of exceptions that happen. They use another third party called Bookam for last-mile delivery tracking.

Again, a lot of exceptions happen that are not tracked by Bookam, so we take care of the exceptions. Those events come to us, and through Zapier we then process them all.

It's third-party tracking events, with GPS events on one side, all of which are tracked by the applications. We take the events from them and push it into Zapier for orchestration, and from there on we alert the right parties.

We use this solution to integrate different third-party software. We use it with service management software such as Zendesk, Freshworks and Jira. When events take place in that software, we use Zapier to pick up that event and perform specific actions. It is used to integrate a number of different solutions.
