What Is Zapier?
Zapier is a powerful automation tool that connects your apps and services — allowing you to create automated workflows called Zaps.
A Zap is made up of:
A Trigger — the event that starts the automation (e.g., a form submission in Array)
One or more Actions — what happens after the trigger (e.g., sending data to Trello, Slack, Salesforce, etc.)
With Array’s Zapier integration, you can connect to thousands of tools to automate repetitive tasks — no coding needed.
💡 Example: Automatically send submitted form data from Array to Google Calendar, Trello, or your CRM — instantly.
