# Zapier

## What it is

**Zapier** is a no-code web-based automation platform that connects **7,000+ apps** via *Zaps* — workflows defined by triggers and actions. It is mentioned by the summit as a platform where AI playbooks (see [[concept-playbooking-method]]) can be deployed to run **entirely in the background without manual triggering**.

## Why it matters here

- It makes the **Trigger** step of the [[framework-playbook-outline]] real — Zapier listens to events (a new email, a calendar slot, a form submission) and fires a workflow.
- It supports AI agents inside Zaps, so a playbook can sit between a trigger and an action.
- It is a concrete enabler of the [[claim-ai-equalizer]] — small operators get enterprise-grade orchestration at low cost.

## Zapier's positioning

*"Automate work with Zapier's 7,000+ app integrations."*
