There are now 1,000 apps connected to Zapier, a significant increase from its early days when it had only one integration, PayPal in 2011. The platform was initially built as a simple workflow automation tool, but eventually evolved into a powerful ecosystem with thousands of combinations and limitless ways to boost productivity. Over the years, Zapier has grown through partnerships with hundreds of companies that build new integrations, and its developer platform has become a free, open space where anyone can connect their app to other APIs. The company is now working to expand this ecosystem, aiming to connect every web app on Zapier while empowering users to build their own integrations.
