<aside> 💫 Top Tip: automations come in all shapes and sizes, and can be a real rabbit hole. Some tools offer ‘native’ apps in their marketplace which link two systems. Some offer fairly easy automation through a third-party like Zapier, but this comes with lots of limitations and additional costs. If you get lost, shout!

Zapier

🤔 What is it? It connects your tools to streamline your mission-critical processes.

👍 Fab because it offers so many common tools to integrate.

🔽 It’s not so great as we find it very limiting, and can be complex to set up (even basic triggers) and cost up.

Make💫

🤔 What is it? Traditional no-code integration and automation platforms are linear and non-intuitive. Make allows you to visually create, build, and automate workflows that are limited only by your imagination.

👍 Fab because there’s a free forever plan (not just a trial), to really test that it can do what it says, not just say it can.

🔽 It’s not so great as the workflow builder can be a steep learning curve (for when the app or integration you want to use doesn’t already exist in their library).
