The Basics of: Zapier
Zapier is a program that allows you to connect your social media, task management apps, and more through automation. This allows you to save time by automating actions that would take quite a bit of time otherwise. For example, you can create a Zap that sends an email when you post to Instagram or creates a Google Calendar event when you receive an email containing a date and time.
Despite having over a thousand apps supported the program is a lot easier to get started with than it appears to be at first glance.
- Simply connect the accounts you wish to use Zaps for (Gmail, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook)
- Once you've connected those accounts, you can easily search for a Zap that performs the action you'd like
- Then pick a trigger, turn the Zap on and you're set!
I will be implementing this into my devices and accounts personally, and I will be making a follow-up post in a week or two to share my experience with the program so stay tuned for that!
