Automate everyday admin with Zapier and Make agents
Connect email, spreadsheets and calendar so AI does the boring work – without programming.
Zapier has more than 9,000 integrations and lets you build workflows in plain English via Copilot. Zapier has a free plan; paid plans from USD 19.99/month according to Zapier.
With Zapier MCP, ChatGPT or Claude can use your connected apps directly, e.g. update a spreadsheet or send a message.
Make suits those who want more control and complex workflows, but has a steeper learning curve. Make also has a free starter tier.
Example: new quote requests from a form are summarised by AI and added to a spreadsheet with a reminder.
How to get started
- Create a free Zapier account.
- Pick a template, e.g. “Summarise new emails labelled X to Google Sheets”.
- Add an AI step that writes the summary.
- Run it in test mode for a week before letting it send anything automatically.
