Zapier is a no-code automation tool that allows users to connect their apps into automated workflows, enabling businesses to streamline processes and save time. To set up a Zap, users must first create a Google Sheets spreadsheet to store order information, then connect Shopify as the trigger app and select the desired event, such as a new paid order. The user then maps the information from Shopify onto corresponding columns in their Google sheet, creating multiple rows for each product in the order. Once set up, the Zap automatically saves order information to the Google Sheets spreadsheet, eliminating the need for manual tracking. This automation can be applied to various apps and services, including Airtable, Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, Salesforce, and HubSpot, allowing businesses to customize their workflows and improve efficiency.
