Zapier integration
Introduction
Zapier provides an integration platform which makes it easy to integrate SaaS applications through the use of simple integrations called "Zaps."
Zaps are commonly used to make business processes more efficient. You can set up a Zap to transfer data without software development skills. You can send customer and transaction information from Recurly to other systems.
