Looking to boost productivity and streamline your tasks? With the right Zapier integration, you can automate just about anything.
In this article, we explore the 10 best Zapier integrations that will save you time, reduce manual effort, and enhance efficiency across your projects and daily operations. Let's dive into automation excellence!
How to access Zapier integrations
Anyone with a free Zapier account can start setting up useful triggers and connecting different tools. The free plan allows for unlimited Zaps (an automated workflow that connects your apps and services), two-step Zaps, and AI automation.
However, if you want to get multi-step Zaps with several tools, webhooks, and email support, you're going to have to go for a paid Zapier plan, which starts at $19.99 per month.
Also, you're likely going to require paid plans on other platforms for your business as well. For example, while the free Zapier plan might work for your workflows, you may need a paid plan for a CRM or other business apps to make the two work together.
The different types of integrations on this automation platform
Zapier has over 7,000 app integrations at the time of writing this article. While most of them are available to all users, there are certain Premium Apps that only paid users can access.
You can find the full list at this list link, but it's worth mentioning a few important ones:
- Zapier webhooks
- Facebook Lead Ads
- Shopify
- Xero
- Zendesk
And more, totaling 59 Premium apps as of when we wrote this piece.
