Can Zapier connect to on-premises services?
Blog post from Zapier
Companies often use a combination of cloud-based and on-premises tools, with the latter remaining due to high replacement costs or compliance needs. Zapier now offers a way to connect on-premises services to its platform through VPC peering, ideal for those on an Enterprise plan hosting their infrastructure on AWS. This feature allows for secure automation and AI orchestration without exposing data to the public internet. VPC peering creates a direct, encrypted connection between AWS-hosted private clouds and Zapier, eliminating the need for additional integration layers or firewall modifications. Setting up VPC peering requires collaboration between IT teams and Zapier Support, culminating in the ability to automate data transfers and connect internal systems with over 8,000 apps in Zapier's ecosystem. This advancement supports enterprise-grade security while integrating internal systems into the same automated workflows used by other operations, offering a seamless way to enhance efficiency and maintain security.
