18 Zapier examples and ideas for cool workflows

Here are 18 Zapier examples for your automation inspiration.

These are some of my best Zapier workflows, and I hope they give you some ideas for what you can do with Zapier.

The biggest question I get about Zapier & workflow automation is that people don’t know where to start. Every business is different, so it’s hard to give examples that apply to everyone - but this video should at least get some ideas flowing.


This is NOT a tutorial on how to use Zapier, and you’ll need a little bit of knowledge of Zapier works otherwise this might move a bit fast. If you’ve never used Zapier before, start with this video:    • Zapier tutorial for beginners - Learn how ...  

There are a few more videos & posts listed at the bottom of the description if you’d like to learn more about Zapier.
