Zapier is a code free automation platform that lets you connect your apps and create workflows (called “Zaps”) without developer knowledge. With thousands of supported apps, Zapier allows you to link Katana to other tools and automate repetitive tasks.


How Zapier works

Each Zap is built from events in your connected apps:

  • Trigger: An event in one app that starts the Zap.

  • Action: The event performed in another app after the trigger.

  • Search: A lookup step used to find information that can be used in an action.
