Zapier Quick-Win Checklist

  • Use Zapier when the workflow is simple, low-risk, and app-supported.
  • Keep the first version to one trigger and one clear business result.
  • Add filters before branching into multiple actions.
  • Avoid hidden automations that change customer or finance records without logging.
  • Review task volume after one week to confirm the Zap is worth keeping.
  • Move to n8n, Pipedream, or custom code when the workflow needs complex state, API logic, or strict auditability.
