Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This hands-on beginner course teaches you Zapier's trigger-action model from the ground up using everyday tools like Gmail, Google Sheets, Slack, and Typeform. You will design multi-step Zaps with filters, formatting, and lookups, then test and monitor them so they keep working unattended. By the end you will own a small library of automations and a repeatable process for building more.
