7 ways to automate spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are versatile tools that can be used for various purposes beyond just data storage, such as creating to-do lists, browser homepages, and even games. They can also serve as central hubs of information connecting business-critical apps, but manual data transfer between apps and spreadsheets can hinder scalability. Zapier's automated workflows, or Zaps, enable users to update themselves, send information to teams or customers, and help scale workflows across their organization's technology stack. With pre-made workflows, such as adding leads to a spreadsheet or creating tasks from rows in a spreadsheet, users can streamline data analysis and team collaboration. Additionally, Zaps can be used to keep spreadsheets in sync, send form responses to a spreadsheet, generate notifications for new or updated rows, create calendar events, and use webhooks to collect or push data to an app. These automation capabilities make it easier to collect important data, collaborate with teams, and stay informed about changes.
