Favourite Tools for VAs: Zapier

Zapier is an automation service that allows you to connect two unrelated programs, so that they can work together.

For instance, when someone signs up for a Go to Webinar event, you can have Zapier ‘talk to’ Aweber so that your registrant automatically gets added to a list in Aweber, and can then get your follow up sequences.

There are a lot of different programs that you can integrate with Zapier. They have a free level as well as a premium levels depending on the programs you want to integrate. Some free ones include: Facebook, Twitter, Trello, Google Sheets, Paypal, Slack, Google Calendar, Mailchimp, Evernote, WordPress, Asana, Office 365,. Gmail, and so much more.

Another few examples:

– publish a WordPress post to Facebook page
– turn your Evernote notes into Google Calendar events
– copy a Mailchimp subscriber from one list to another

There are endless possibilities. It’s cool.

I find it handy to automate certain things in my own business and in my clients’ businesses.
