As a business owner, it’s important to ensure your applications are communicating. Moving business information automatically through your programs removes human error, boosts productivity, frees up time, streamlines communication, and more! But it can be daunting to think about getting started with automation if you are unfamiliar.
Evaluating your internal processes and systems is the first step in discovering where automation opportunities lie.
Some common reasons to automate workflows include:
- Speed up data entry tasks
- Connect people, apps, and processes
- Gather data at scale to make smarter decisions
- Spend less time managing the inbox
- Omit manual tasks that are done by humans
There are many tools available to make automation possible, Zapier being one of them. Zapier is a tool that helps automate repetitive tasks between two or more applications. You can get started immediately with premade workflows, or if you are up for it, build something yourself by connecting your apps. With the ability to integrate over 4,000+ different applications, this do-it-yourself editor allows you to create automations without the hiring a developer: integrate apps, automate workflows, and innovate processes.
Automating tasks is a key component to running an efficient business and doesn’t have to be intimidating. Your first automation doesn’t have to be complex; it just has to work so you can focus on things that matter.
