What's Zapier and how do I use it?
Zapier lets you connect apps you use everyday with Podia and automate workflows. With over 750+ apps in their App Directory, chances are you’ll be able to connect just about anything you use with Podia.
What are some examples?
- Get an SMS whenever you land a sale
- Store new signups in Trello or Google Sheets
- Tweet out in joy when a new sale hits
- Send a customer to your favorite email marketing app like Drip, MailChimp and others
