Your phone already has a Zapier-style automation tool built in, and it’s free
Your smartphone can automate more functions than you first thought.
Zapier makes its money on one basic idea: an event in one app sets off a response in another. The free tier stops you at 100 tasks a month, each limited to two steps, and stepping up costs $29.99 a month. Your phone pulls off the same trick at no cost, and nobody tallies how often it runs.
