What I really appreciated about this book was the fact that I really didn’t need any prior experience with business process automation and that topics were thoroughly explained with backgrounds given and clear varied practical examples given.This book was useful in understanding one’s own business processes and where they were currently limited - before going on to automate them.As another reviewer mentioned, I don’t know why you would want to waste time searching on the internet for answers on getting the most out of Zapier when you could just have the book at your side.I found the final chapters 22 and 23 great in providing tips on getting the most out of zapier for your business as well as highlighting the importance of challenging your own problem solving and zap building skills.An excellent guide for novice to advanced!

I am an employee in a business where we are encouraged to enhance our day-to-day productivity with automation and we use Zapier to achieve that. I have used Zapier for some time now and although I have found that my journey with Zapier has been a never-ending discovery of possibilities, when I want to do a new thing, finding information on how to do it has been a challenge. I have been waiting patiently for a reference tool like this book to be published. In the short time that I've had the book, it has not only served as a well laid out reference for every little problem I've come across, it has also opened my eyes to new opportunities of processes that I can automate.Chapter 2 really gave me some food for thought about reviewing my processes regularly to find ways to improve my automations. Chapter 4 has helped me to organise my Zaps better and share these ideas and thought processes with my colleagues. I have also found it incredibly useful to skim through the introductions to each of the chapters, making a mental note of what built-in apps I can use for different scenarios and where I can use them.I know Zapier releases new features all the time, so I'm looking forward to the next update of the book which I'm hoping will cover some of the latest built-in apps.I can see Automate It with Zapier staying on my desk for some time to come!

There isn't a single business or entrepreneur on the planet who couldn't uplevel their game with BPA (business process automation). Until there's deep integration for every SAAS to talk to every other SAAS, there's Zapier. But a lack of "tech confidence" keeps many of our clients from exploring this route. So this is the perfect primer on how to get started from "ground zero" and why it's necessary to scale their business. Our clients still won't necessarily want to "DIY," but by reviewing Kelly Goss' step-by-step Zapier processes, they'll be more educated and able to get over the fear that keeps them stuck. (For DIYers, Kelly acknowledges the "no-code revolution" and goes all the way to advanced level no-code integrations, so there's something here for everyone who's automation curious.) Highly recommend.

This book is extremely useful for anyone looking learn more about Zapier and how Business Process Automation can help companies and organisations better leverage the tools they currently use to create greater efficiency by automating workflows and allowing better integrations between apps. I was very impressed with how accessible and clear the book is, easily guiding the reader through the most basic steps of creating a Zapier account, to creating your first basic Zaps, to more advanced multi step Zaps, it is all super accessible and easy to follow.Chapter 2 gave me a lot of insight into how to do go about improving my processes before automating them, the only suggestion I could make as an improvement would be to have another few examples to work through as there are so many potential use cases for automation.Overall I really appreciate the well illustrated examples that allow a visual learner like myself to easily comprehend the material, I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to get to grips with the powerful world of Zapier!

As a longtime Zapier user (and Zapier employee), I genuinely thought I was aware of all the ways I could "Automate it with Zapier". Kelly's book proved me wrong. Armed with spreadsheets, links to materials, decision trees, and templates, this book is perfect for deeply understanding business process automation and how you can use Zapier to streamline your daily life.Automate it with Zapier is perfect for those who are just getting started with Zapier, those who want to dive deeper into automation, and even those like me who are very familiar with the space. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is a Zapier user, even future users!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
