Summary  
This chapter explains how to compose event-driven workflows by defining triggers and actions and integrate AI steps—using natural language prompts—to process data and pass results between services.  

General domain of usage  
Cross-platform workflow automation

**Zapier** connects the tools you already use — like Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, Slack — and adds automation powered by AI. While content tools help you create, Zapier helps you take action on that content automatically.

Definition

**Zapier** works by creating Zaps. This is no-code workflows where something triggers a process, AI handles part of the thinking, and an action completes the task.

You're working on a team where shared files are constantly updated. One day, a teammate adds a new Google Doc to the shared folder. Instead of manually reviewing it, Zapier can jump in automatically:


- Detects new files in Google Drive;

- Uses AI by Zapier to summarize the doc;

- Sends the summary to your team on Slack.

Creating a Zap

The whole process runs in the background. No manual steps needed.
