Zapier is an app that allows you to connect different apps together to automate tasks and save time, especially with FreshBooks. As the owner or the admin of the FreshBooks account, you can connect any of Zapier's 6000+ integrated apps together to make your own automations, without writing any code.
Each automation, called a Zap, has one app as the trigger and one app as the action. The trigger is where your information comes from and causes one or more actions in other apps.
