## Traffic and people searches

Lets got straight to the traffic stats among the two websites. [Ahref.com](https://ahrefs.com/)
is a well-known toolset for backlinks and SEO analysis. Let's use stats from it for comparison. We can see that
zapier beats workato by far 85K searches in US(288K global search) vs 4.8K searches in US(16K globally)
Maybe this is due to that workato is positioning itself as a service for Enterprise and not for the small companies.

flowing and data synced between different applications.

Zapier is used for our most simple integrations and specifically for those were configuring for clients. Being in charge of all software/tools means that we’re often required to integrate the platforms we provide with the client's existing tech stack. A majority of these use cases are very simple configurations (I.e. converting a chatbot contact submission to a lead in CRM), which Zapier is perfect for. We are easily able to set the client upon a low-cost Zapier plan, make the simple configuration and know it will work.
Zapier is the perfect, affordable tool for simple integrations and triggers.

In this article, we will create automation of some images from the
[Fox News](https://www.foxnews.com/). On the main page of [Fox News](https://www.foxnews.com/)
you can see images that can be created different ways 


![alt text](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6043510/132041999-4e510619-937a-44cd-93a5-8d536f42a1cf.png "Title")

## The self-coded approach

Automated images are not created in a graphics software like Photoshop or Sketch. They are a screenshot of a website!

The layout of the image is created with simple HTML / CSS, and the texts and images are being dynamically changed for every image. In the examples of dev.to, they're taking the post title, author image and name, the publish date, and also change some parameters like color.

If an image is generated – like when an author on dev.to published an article – the website containing this data is opened in a headless browser (a browser without a user interface that can be operated through the command line), and a correctly sized screenshot is made.

If you're development-savvy, you can build an image automation service as well with this or a similar API.

## The tool-based approach
If you're not comfortable coding this yourself, we can save you a bit of the hassle with Placid.

It lets you create a template for your share images with our visual editor. You can design it however you want, or start with our preset designs.

Then you can either use our REST- or URL API or our no-code integrations for Webflow, Zapier, Airtable, or WordPress to get your share images automatically. We take care of all the website-creation-and-screenshotting parts, and can even host your images for you.
