Zapier vs. Tray comparison: Which is best for enterprise automation? [2026]

2027-07-28T04:00:00+00:00

It's easy to let edge cases influence your decision-making—thinking you need the most technical tool for the few times your developers will want to code their way out of a tough problem. And with enterprise software, it's tempting to assume you have to choose between power and ease of use. But that's not always true. The best automation platforms deliver both, scaling to meet complex enterprise needs while remaining intuitive enough for anyone to start building right away. You can use either Zap

6 ways to automate Calendly with Zapier

2026-08-14T08:00:00+00:00

I have sent probably four hundred emails in my life that just said some version of "does 2pm Thursday work for you?" Calendly exists so none of us has to do that anymore. Invitees see your real availability and pick a slot without the back and forth. That solves the booking problem. It doesn't solve everything else that comes with a new meeting, like syncing it to your team's calendar or logging the invitee in your CRM. That's where a Zap—our word for Zapier's automated workflows—comes in. Conne

The 4 primary roles of AI in automated workflows

My in-laws have wired every light in their house to Alexa. But no one can ever remember if they're sitting in the "living room" or the "family room," so three commands and one accidental playlist later, someone always ends up just leaning over and hitting the light switch. A lot of AI workflows are built the same way—for example, someone calls a model to check if a number is above a threshold. This is something a conditional rule has handled since the early days of Excel. There's no judgment to

How does ChatGPT work?

2026-08-14T04:00:00+00:00

ChatGPT started as a chatbot and tech demo for OpenAI's large language models (LLMs). It's now something closer to a general-purpose AI platform—one that can search the web, generate images, write code, reason through complex problems, and execute multi-step actions across apps. As OpenAI has kept pushing ChatGPT forward with new models and features, a question that sounds simple has gotten surprisingly hard to answer: How does ChatGPT work? Well, I'm going to do my best to answer. Table of con

Which AI models can you automate on Zapier? (GPT-5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Opus 5, and more)

2026-08-13T05:00:00+00:00

New AI models launch practically every week, and keeping up with which ones to use for specific workflows is a job in itself. Consider this article your living reference. At Zapier, we run every model through AutomationBench. It's our benchmark for testing how well models carry out multi-step workflows, not just static prompts. Below, I'll walk through every major AI provider available on Zapier, the models you can plug into your Zap workflows today, and what each one is best for based on Zapier

Every AI provider comes with models of varying strengths. I'm a Claude stan because it just gets my writing style, but I'll often reach for Sonnet over the higher-tier models because its results are more consistent for me. And for some tasks, Claude's lineup doesn't cut it at all—when I need to process data at scale, for example, I might reach for Gemini. When I need a versatile generalist for classification or routing, GPT might be my pick. Other people across my team and at Zapier have altoget

Google has been in its "Gemini era" for a couple years now, and while the confusing rebrandings have slowed, everything else continues to improve at a rapid pace. Gemini is the name Google gave to its current generation family of multimodal AI models, but in typical Google fashion, it also applies to basically everything else that's related to AI. It can get a touch confusing since, by my reckoning, Google has: Google Gemini, a family of multimodal AI models. The latest is the 3.7 series, thoug

Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool, is very good at what it does. Its AI models are consistently ranked at the top of leaderboards, it's used daily by engineers at a long list of companies you've heard of, its step-by-step reasoning makes big refactors feel manageable, and even the loading messages are charming. But over the past couple of years, a lot of Claude Code alternatives have been giving it a run for its money. And depending on what you're trying to do, one of them might make

Once upon a time, if I wanted to edit a PDF, the only (free) method at my disposal was to essentially recreate the file in Microsoft Word, make any necessary edits, and then save it as a new PDF. PDF editor apps have come a long way since then. Nowadays, the best apps let you easily edit every element of a PDF, including text and form fields, and convert files into other formats like .docx, .xlsx, and .txt. I've tested a lot of different PDF editors—free and paid—throughout my career. And I've

When you work in email marketing (which I do), you get a lot of emails. And when you get a lot of emails, you see a wide variety of email sign-offs, signatures, and email disclosures, many of which are…not good. A personal favorite of mine: ("I send it when I'm available, you send it when you're available" is pretty much just how emails work, right? Also: email scheduling is a thing for exactly this reason.) The conclusion I've drawn from my years in the email marketing trenches is that no one

When Slack launched in 2014, it promised a better way of working: fewer emails, async communication, and easier remote collaboration. (Did you know that Slack stands for "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge"?) It generated serious buzz, quickly gaining millions of users and inspiring competitors like Microsoft Teams. All this was motivation for Google to join the party, too. It repurposed one of its existing consumer apps, Google Hangouts, for business use. Eventually, the app was

How to compare two Word documents

2026-08-12T05:00:00+00:00

I used to compare two documents by positioning them side by side on one small screen and then manually scanning for errors, sentence by sentence. As you'd expect, that method morphed my face into an alarming scrunch, and more importantly, it was ripe for human error. Then I learned that every word processing app I use has a built-in tool to do exactly this. If you're straining your eyes to spot the difference between two documents, here's how to compare two Word documents in the desktop app. N

Zapier vs. Airtable: Which is best? [2026]

Databases used to be intimidating to anyone except SQL developers. Airtable changed that: its databases feel like spreadsheets, complete with color coding and drag-and-drop layouts, while still offering advanced features like linked records, lookup fields, and rollups. Non-technical users can easily use Airtable to create apps that would've required expensive custom solutions a decade or so ago. But as powerful as Airtable is for data, it's not always the best solution for cross-platform automat

12 examples of ethos in advertising to inspire your next campaign

2026-08-12T04:00:00+00:00

To the uninitiated, advertising is full of Mad Men-esque mystery. But as a writer and creative lead, I'm here to tell you that advertising is just fancy persuasion. At its most fundamental, an ad is trying to get you to think, feel, or do something (usually, purchase a product). Because ads are just a form of persuasion, they often take their cues from the world of rhetoric and communications—including concepts like ethos. A little bit of rhetorical theory can unlock why some ads work and othe

Two Blocks

On the contrary, Two Blocks is all about the warmth of neighborhood interactions. The restaurant's very name begins with the idea of closeness. Each of the blocks represents a neighborhood with its own story and personality.

How we migrated the database behind every Vercel build

2026-08-11T22:00:00+00:00

Every build on Vercel starts in the build warm pool, which is a set of standby containers that let builds begin without waiting for new compute. The pool runs on state that tracks which containers are ready, the tokens each one uses to authenticate, and the mapping that ties every running build back to the deployment that gets billed for it. When we built the pool, we put all of that in Redis, which was fast and made sense at the time.Over the years, though, that state turned into a liability. T

2026-08-11T04:00:00+00:00

I married into a big family that loves to camp, and quite a few trips die in the group chat. The usual suspect is the handoffs. Camping spaces aren't booked until the headcount is confirmed, which depends on checking school and work schedules. Meanwhile, someone (looking at you, Terry) hasn't checked the group chat since March. Everyone means well; the details just have to pass through too many hands before anyone can act. At enterprise companies, every single handoff is a chance for your workfl

Claude connectors: How to connect Claude to other apps

2026-08-11T04:00:00+00:00

Claude is generally considered to be the best chatbot for almost everything: marketers will tell you it writes better than other chatbots; developers will tell you it codes better; and people who inexplicably think it's a good idea to use AI as a therapist will tell you it's kinder than other models. It's all grounded in reality: Claude is particularly good at reasoning through hard problems, creating original content, and surfacing insights from whatever you throw at it. But if you're using it

The 10 best VoIP providers in 2026

2026-08-11T04:00:00+00:00

Reports of the landline phone's demise are only slightly exaggerated. No, this apparatus isn't gone yet, but it will likely join the fax, floppy disk, and Rolodex in the business graveyard within the next decade. Today you can make calls using FaceTime, Messenger, WhatsApp, or dozens of other call apps, and virtual phone systems do the same for your office number. Virtual phone systems, also known as VoIP (voice over internet protocol) and cloud phones, are simply better options than a landline

A sandbox without a network boundary is only half a sandbox

2026-08-11T00:00:00+00:00

Running untrusted code safely requires more than separating it from the host. You also have to control what that code can reach.This matters more as AI agents gain the ability to read files, execute commands, install packages, and generate programs of their own. A microVM can prevent that code from accessing the host or another workload. By itself, it cannot stop the code from exfiltrating data, probing internal services, attacking systems elsewhere on the internet, or using credentials availabl

The source for every image lives in the public vercel/sandbox repository.Managed images replace Sandbox runtimes, which are now deprecated. Starting with version 3 of the Sandbox SDK, new sandboxes default to vercel/sandbox/universal:latest.

ChatGPT connectors: How to connect ChatGPT to other apps

2026-08-10T04:00:00+00:00

ChatGPT was born, and named, to chat. It's scarily good at it, but if you're using it for real work, you want to actually do something from the chat window: update a record based on ChatGPT's research, send a message with the genius idea it beat you to the punch on, or just log the output somewhere so you don't lose it. There are a lot of ways to connect ChatGPT to other apps. But the terminology is a mess, the options overlap, and it's not always obvious which approach is the right one for wha

Deterministic AI: What it is and when to use it

2026-08-10T04:00:00+00:00

We haven't exactly worked out all of AI's kinks yet. The same prompt can return a different, sometimes unhinged, answer every time. It's just the nature of probabilistic systems. That variability's fine for brainstorming and exploration, but it becomes a problem when you embed AI in real workflows where your team needs consistency and control. It's also why enterprises are getting more cautious. Many teams have started pulling back on AI-only workflows and shifting toward deterministic AI—predic

Not because of a jagged piece of metal, but because the security of that apartment rested on every person I'd ever trusted with a way in, and I'd long since lost track of who that was. Businesses ha

The client wanted a heavyset man—a husky chef. The kind you'd see on a pizza box, kissing his fingers at a meatball. At no point in our correspondence did anyone clarify which definition of "husky" we

General Compute

General Compute builds ASIC-based infrastructure for AI inference ? a deliberate alternative to the GPU status quo, engineered for lightspeed intelligence. The identity centers on an asymmetric radial burst: tapered needle-rays converging on an off-center void that reads as a latent "G" ? energy resolving into form. It's paired with the Melun display wordmark and a monochrome palette charged with electric violet and green. Beyond the static mark, the brand runs on a live generative engine ? We

The 11 best SEO tools in 2026

For some jobs, you can get by purely on your own cunning, physical abilities, or ambition alone. SEO marketer is not one of those jobs.

What are agentic workflows?

2026-08-05T04:00:00+00:00

The night before a recent week-long vacation, my home air conditioning stopped working. Which is, of course, the perfect time for that to happen. I called my usual handyman in a panic, and he fixed it while I was gone—but he also wiped off the outdoor unit, replaced my filter, and even replaced some light switch panels that I had been meaning to get to for weeks. I'd given him a problem, and he fixed it; alongside a handful of other tasks he knew needed repair. Historically, most software has ne

n8n vs. UiPath: Which is best? [2026]

2026-08-05T04:00:00+00:00

n8n and UiPath describe themselves similarly, using terms like "AI workflows" and "agentic automation." And fair, they both do those things. But in the world of automation platforms, n8n and UiPath aren't actually all that similar. n8n is a fair code workflow tool that developers can self-host and wire together with APIs. UiPath is an enterprise robotic process automation (RPA) platform built to operate software that never got an API in the first place. But both have spent the past couple of yea

How to give your AI agents reliable app access for free

2026-08-04T05:00:00+00:00

As advanced as AI agents have become, they still fall short in one respect: connecting to your apps reliably. That's because every app authenticates, structures its endpoints, shapes its data, and breaks in its own way. An agent has to learn all those rules before it can wire up to an app. And it usually gets a lot of little details wrong along the way. That's where Zapier Connectors can help. Every connector gives your agent an app-specific toolkit it can install and use for free, which lets it

Zapier Tables: Store, move, and act on your data automatically

2026-08-03T05:00:00+00:00

Plenty of tools can store data. But you probably don't need just a holding tank—you need your data to go somewhere and do something. And with most databases, moving data into other apps requires you to lean on integrations that may or may not work reliably. Zapier Tables was designed specifically for AI-powered automation. That means you can use it to build data tables and trigger workflows straight from them. You can even add AI steps to enhance new and existing rows. You also get granular perm

What is role-based access control (RBAC)?

2026-08-03T05:00:00+00:00

I used to work at a small law firm whose managers didn't believe in spending money on legal case management software. We just had a live Google Sheet where we tracked client information, case notes, and even (usually outdated) running tallies of client payments. Everyone on the team had the same power to accidentally delete a client's entire row of notes, or even the whole sheet. I still have nightmares about making a typo that would lead to a client missing a crucial court or filing date. A sys

The 8 best AI image generators in 2026

2026-08-03T05:00:00+00:00

AI image generators have been brewing (generating?) up a storm for the last few years. If you've been on social media, watched prime time news shows, or read a magazine, AI-generated images have been impossible to miss. These kinds of AI-generated images are everywhere, and sometimes you won't even realize. If you want to join in the fun, or add some AI-powered features to your business workflows, the apps on this list will give you what you're looking for. I've been writing about AI image gener

The 8 best AI scheduling assistants

2026-08-03T05:00:00+00:00

Productivity starts with your calendar—but sometimes it ends there too. No one wants to reprioritize an entire week after an emergency, or play calendar Tetris to land a meeting with that busy lead sometime in the next two days. This is where an AI scheduling assistant can help: instead of working on your schedule, you can let AI calendar apps do it for you. I've been playing around with all sorts of AI tools recently. For this article, I considered a couple dozen AI calendars, and did in-depth

12 AI automation examples (and how teams built them)

2026-08-03T04:00:00+00:00

I use and write about AI for a living, but even I tend to roll my eyes whenever I see an ad for AI in the wild. They're usually generic and surface-level ("AI can write emails for you!" "A chatbot can summarize books so you don't have to use your human brain to process them!") and don't reflect how AI is best used. To have an impact, AI needs to be integrated with your workflows. With AI automation, you embed AI decisions—like qualifying a lead or triaging a support ticket—directly into the proc

AI frameworks: Definition, types, and how to choose

2026-08-03T04:00:00+00:00

Whenever there's a shiny new AI tool, it makes sense to dive in and see if it's worth introducing into your work. You start with a single tab in your browser, which somehow turns into a dozen, all filled with chatbots, automation workflows, and a master plan for synchronizing your systems. But at some point, off-the-shelf tools stop being enough. You want to build something of your own. AI frameworks (ready-made building blocks for creating AI apps) make that possible—without needing to code eve

7 chatbot use cases for your business

2026-08-03T04:00:00+00:00

When I replayed Fallout 4 recently, I reacquainted myself with one of the background characters—a noodle chef robot. All he can do is say "What will you have?" in Japanese and give you noodles when you say "yes." It reminded me of early-days chatbots, which I miss on a personal level but decidedly not on a business level. Today's chatbots aren't like my pal Takahashi. While they can't make noodles (yet), they can do almost everything else. Folks who work in marketing, HR, or customer support—or

Agentic AI vs. generative AI: Key differences and use cases

2026-08-03T04:00:00+00:00

When people talk about AI, they often toss wildly different tools into the same bucket—like putting a blender and an AI personal assistant app in the same category just because they both have buttons. That lumping obscures something important: generative AI creates things (ideas, drafts, images, emails), while agentic AI carries out things (sending those emails, following up on them, updating the systems they touch). Here's how to tell the difference between agentic AI and generative AI, when t

Google Cloud Run vs Agent Sandboxes: Where They Differ and Which One to Pick

2026-08-03T00:00:00+00:00

Google Cloud Run added a sandbox mode for untrusted AI code. It works very differently from a purpose-built agent sandbox like Upstash Box: one runs snippets inside a service you already deploy, the other gives the agent a durable computer of its own. A side-by-side look at architecture, state, security, agents, and cost.

Consolidated the 32 per-endpoint analytics tools into three: `get_link_analytics`, `get_group_analytics`, and `get_qr_code_analytics`. Each takes a `dimension` selecting the report (facet breakdowns, `over_time`, `summary`, or `top`); the group tool also takes a `dataset` (`clicks`, `engagements`, or `qr_scans`). The replaced tool names (e.g. `link_metrics`, `link_countries`, `get_qr_scan_summary`) no longer exist — see the Tools Reference for the migration matrix.
