Do you find yourself putting off the repetitive daily tasks for your toy business? Did you ever wish there was a magical solution that could automate those tedious processes? Well, there is one! Today’s episode is all about saving yourself time and money using an incredible automation tool called Zapier. I personally use this tool to automate some of my Toy Coach processes and I have found it so helpful.My guest today is Kelly Goss, a Zapier certified expert and the founder of Solvaa, a company that helps businesses become more efficient through automation. In 2021, Kelly published a book called Automate it With Zapier, which is a guide for using this incredible tool. In today’s episode, Kelly gives you what I would consider “Zapier 101.” She tells you the basics of using Zapier, including a step-by-step review of how to automate a process. While listening to the audio is very informative, if you watch the video of this interview on YouTube, you can also see exactly how it’s done!
