One review from our users
Workato is brilliant to make separate applications work together without much effort or specialists being needed. When specific events on software A should trigger actions on B (or more) and you want that to happen without any development or big budgets, that's where Workato comes into play. It's a great help if you want tasks automated, communications 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.
