Zapier

Connect AI models and 9,000+ business apps into automated workflows and agents

Freemiumzapier.comUpdated 19 Oct 2026

About Zapier

Zapier is a workflow automation platform that connects more than 9,000 business apps and lets teams add AI to the processes that run between them. Users build automations called Zaps, which start with a trigger in one app and run actions in others, and can insert AI steps only where a rule-based flow needs judgment. The company also offers Zapier Agents, AI teammates that act across connected apps, plus Chatbots, Tables, Forms and Canvas for planning and documenting workflows. For AI use, Zapier MCP gives assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor governed access to connected apps and actions. The platform is priced by tasks and includes a free plan with 100 tasks per month, so individuals can test automations before paying.
