Zapier & Make Patterns

No-code automation democratizes workflow building. Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let non-developers automate business processes without writing code. But no-code doesn't mean no-complexity - these platforms have their own patterns, pitfalls, and breaking points.

This skill covers when to use which platform, how to build reliable automations, and when to graduate to code-based solutions. Key insight: Platform selection depends on current integration support, account plans, data flow and credit/task pricing; compare the actual workflow rather than fixed app counts or cost claims.

Critical distinction: No-code works until it doesn't. Know the limits.
