# Zapier

You can use Zapier to receive waitlist submissions on your favorite apps like Google Sheets, Airtable, Newsletter services like Mailchimp, HubSpot Convertkit, and many more.

### What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your favorite apps, such as Gmail, Slack, Mailchimp, and more. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration.

With Zapier, you can connect Waitlisty Waitlist to thousands of apps and web services. Zapier can automatically trigger workflows in other apps whenever a new user signs up for your waitlist. When new triggers happen in Waitlisty, Zapier will automatically send data to the other apps you've connected.
