What is Zapier?

Zapier is a web-based automation tool that connects different apps and services together, allowing them to communicate and automate tasks without requiring any coding skills. It works on the principle of “Zaps,” which are automated workflows that link one app to another. These workflows consist of a trigger and one or more actions.

Here’s how it works:

1. Trigger: A specific event occurs in one app. For example, a new incident detected by Xitoring on your servers, or a packet loss was detected on your website.
2. Action: Once the trigger event happens, Zapier automatically performs a predefined action in another app. For instance, it could create a task in Trello, add a contact to Mailchimp, or notify you on selected notification channels.
