We use Zapier to connect AirTable to other apps that live on Zapier's platform, like QuickBooks, Google Drive, and Google Docs. We also use Zapier for automated document creation utilizing webhooks, pulling in data from a WordPress site or form software into AirTable. When consulting a client and trying to connect different apps, I often utilize Zapier if it can't be done through AirTable's automation.

Simplifying complex API automations
An In-depth Review of Automation and Integration tools Zapier
Can be used for automated document creation utilizing webhooks
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier.
What needs improvement?
After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail. I set up a very complex app with AirTable, Zapier, and Asana. For generating tasks in Asana based on the template, they changed all the actions with Asana, which no longer made that possible.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Zapier for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Zapier an eight out of ten for stability. For the most part, Zapier is stable. However, it has downtime like any other cloud-based software.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Zapier is a scalable solution. You can buy as many Zaps as you need and utilize as many tasks as you need.
How was the initial setup?
Zapier’s initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
Since Zapier is a tool, it does not need a deployment. It's a tool that can be created in two minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There are products cheaper than Zapier. You can start with a free plan and get limited access. The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks.
What other advice do I have?
Zapier is deployed on the cloud. I would recommend Zapier to other users.
Overall, I rate Zapier an eight out of ten.
A Swiss Army Knife of Integrations
Offers a diverse range of built-in integrations
What is our primary use case?
Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana. It's very very similar to QuickDesk's pipeline feature but offers more depth. Another example would be integrating with apps like Airtable, Salesforce, or Hub. Zapier has connections for all of these platforms, making it easy to connect and move data. It's essentially a tool for automating tasks.
How has it helped my organization?
Zapier has allowed me to integrate between two different platforms a lot quicker than if I had to manually write APIs or Webhooks.
I'm open to using it when there's a use case for it. If something can be handled with QuickDesk pipelines, I would prefer to use that because the client is typically already paying for Quickbase, which includes pipelines. However, if there's a situation where Zapier is better suited, such as having a built-in integration that pipelines don't offer, I would consider using Zapier. Currently, I don't have any specific plans in mind.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the wide variety of built-in integrations it offers. In my experience, I haven't come across anything else that provides such a diverse range of connections.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted. It would be helpful if these features were there.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using Zapier probably four and a half to five years ago. However, I haven't been using it as heavily. I used it a lot in the beginning, and then I recently started using it again a few months ago. So, I feel pretty confident in using that tool. I am using the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate it around nine. It's very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say it's probably an eight.
How are customer service and support?
I have spoken to thecustomer service and support team about a few technical matters. I would say their technical support is very good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It's essentially a low-code platform for making API and web calls.
What was our ROI?
In my experience, it provides a good return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's very affordable, especially for companies.
What other advice do I have?
I would say that there are certainly other software options available for Zapier, and I would encourage you to explore each one to consider what you're trying to integrate. However, Zapier is a really good tool and worth looking into.
Overall, I would give it a nine.
