Zapier: Workflow Automation

What a great app and the support is incredible: friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly eager to help which is rather rare these days!
I am now able to survey my customers with typeform, pull in their order data from shopify with zapier, and send the emails automatically 5 weeks after they purchase with gmail. Just an example of all the things you can do, but this is an automation useful for all ecommerce stores!

We are just beginning to touch on the surface of how powerful Zapier really is and how much it can help us in connection with our Shopify store, but we have found it to be super useful for the few zaps we have set up. An example of a zap we love involves a specific service item being ordered from our Shopify store which causes a specific email to be sent and then creates a task in Insightly pertaining to that item for a specific person.

As a print company, we need to be able to internally track orders in different stages of production which requires numerous order statuses. Since Shopify cannot handle this, we were relieved to discover Zapier. Zapier lets Shopify and Desk.com talk allowing us to improve support while tracking orders and customers. Without Zapier, we would not be able use Shopify. Additionally, Zapier talks to so many other platforms and applications, the opportunities to improve your business seem literally endless.

The connection is great and really helpful. I would really love it though if the trigger actions could also be dependent on specific "TAGS" on products or customers as opposed to everything or triggered by inventory count. Sometimes my company just wants to pull certain customer types or certain products. It would definitely be helpful to have a trigger action kick off when a product reaches a certain inventory level. Right now we have to search, export then filter with both Shopify and the available trigger actions between Shopify and Zapier. So opening up additional more specific triggers would be incredibly helpful!!

Zapier is a great app. You'll need to make a bit of manual setup at first but once it get going, it can replace an low level employee that would be doing a lot of manual entry. So this is worth the money.

There are limitations but over all it's worth it if you find yourself wasting time or paying someone else for this kind of work.

On my end, I use it to add all my orders and details in a clean Google Sheet which automatically updates itself (something I would do manually before). Now that I'm getting a lot more orders this saves me so much time and money.

There are tons of other things it can do that you'll have to figure out or even create your own.

I think this app is a must if you start having a few orders per day and need to automate basic data entry.

What can I say? We LOVE Zapier! I recommend it every chance I get for two reasons:

1) It saves tons of money. The integrations it facilitates would often cost thousands to do with a developer. Possible, but expensive.
2) It just works. We rely on it to get a lot of our systems talking with each other, and it just works. Plain and simple. We set up the integration, test it, and then forget about it as it runs in the background just doing its thing.

My advice: Stroll over to Zapier.com, see what services are on the platform, and spend a day or two thinking about all the different ways you can connect them. I'm sure you'll find at least one connection that will make your life easier.

Zapier is easily one of the best companies for small businesses on the web today.

Awesome app to connect apps to apps! We use it to connect Shopify and Bonjoro. LOVE it!

This is perfect for connecting Shopify to Infusionsoft. Excellent customer service and easy to use. I recommend!

Incredibly useful for automating tasks that would otherwise be super tedious. Much easier than coding by hand, too. We mostly use Zapier to share blog posts on social media.

Zapier made it possible for us to connect our store to docs further enabling us to track our customer purchases of classes and courses in an easy to read document that we can safely share with our Instructors. Also, Zapier support helped in a way that was above and beyond what they actually advertise. That was and still is the reason why we continue to use Zapier! Zapier is an awesome and easy to use platform.
