Zapier is a cloud-based automation tool that allows users to connect their various web applications and create "zaps" to automate tasks. For example, a user could create a zap that would automatically add new leads from a form submission on their website to their CRM.
Zapier works by connecting two or more web applications and then creating a "zap" between them. A zap is simply a set of instructions that tells Zapier what to do when a certain event happens in one of the connected applications.
