Whenever the trigger happens in one app, Zapier will automatically perform the actions or searches in another app in order.
The automation or commands have a “if this, then that” structure. For example: “If I write a new blog post on WordPress, save a copy of that file to Dropbox.”
Zapier’s Built-in Apps come with every account. You can use them to create powerful workflows without using separate services.

They also offer a lean but capable dashboard that lets you manage your apps and zaps easily, with an extensive task history available that lets you see all the activity from your zaps from those that ran successfully to those that didn’t.
