By connecting and automating applications, you can work smarter to save time and money. Here are two of the most popular applications that allow you to connect the apps you use everyday to automate your work and be more productive.
- Zappier
An online automation tool that connects your favorite apps, such as Gmail, Slack, MailChimp, and over 1,000 more. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration.
Move info between your web apps automatically, so you can focus on your most important work. It's easy enough that anyone can build their own app workflows with just a few clicks.
You can link Zappier to your social media profiles. When a new item is published to your blog, it can automatically post to Facebook and Twitter for example.
Maybe you get a lot of email attachments in your Gmail account and you want to save them to Dropbox. Every time you get an attachment, you could open up the email, click on the attachment, and then save it to Dropbox. Or you can have Zapier automate this for you, saving you time and effort.
You can setup a Zap so that once a prospects' business card has been scanned and transcribed, an email can go out from gmail with that contact's specific information and your message, and the prospect can go directly into your CRM and automated email funnel lead nurturing series. So you can have all of this take place before you even leave a networking event for example.
