1. Why automate with Zapier?

Zapier lets you connect over 6,000 applications through no-code automations called “Zaps” , sequences built from triggers and actions.

Why it matters:

• No more copy-pasting between apps
• Tools like Gmail, Notion, Slack, or HubSpot finally sync
• Teams can focus on high-value work, not admin

Example : when someone fills out a form, a contact is created in your CRM and your sales team gets notified in Slack.

2. Common mistakes when you automate with Zapier

Like any powerful system, it can get messy if you jump in too fast.

What to avoid:

• Automating too many things at once
• Ignoring app/API limitations
• Skipping testing
• Not documenting your Zaps

💡 Start small, test often, and scale from there.

Zapier is a great starting point. But for long-term scalability, it must plug into a wider ecosystem — including CRM, operations, content, and reporting.
