What is Zapier?

How Does Zapier Work?
Zapier uses Zaps, which are workflows composed of two core elements:
- Trigger: The event that starts the workflow (e.g., Job Created in OCC)
- Action: The task Zapier performs after the trigger (e.g., Add a row to Google Sheets)
Formula: Zap = Trigger + Action
Is There a Cost?
Zapier offers both free and paid plans. Pricing depends on:
- Number and complexity of Zaps
- Apps used (some like QuickBooks Online require Premium)
- Monthly task volume

Demo Examples (as seen in Lunch & Learn)
- OCC → Google Sheets (Trigger: Job Created, Action: Add Row)
- Hubspot → OCC (Trigger: New Contact, Action: Create Job)

Zapier’s capabilities are nearly limitless depending on connected apps. Examples include:
- Pushing job data to Hatch
- Creating QuickBooks Online invoices for signed jobs
