Overview

Zapier lets you connect When I Work to over 1,000 other web services. Automated connections called Zaps are set up in minutes without coding. These Zaps build workflows between apps like Google Sheets, Excel, and Slack that automate processes in When I Work.

Each Zap has one app as the Trigger, where your information comes from and which causes one or more Actions in When I Work, where your data gets sent automatically. For more information on how Zaps work, check out Zapier’s Help Basics.
