Light Automation with Zapier and Make

The whole idea is simple. When something happens in one app, do something in another app. When a form is submitted, post to Slack. When an email with an invoice arrives, save the PDF to Drive. When a calendar event is created, add it to your to-do list. You wire it up once and never think about it again.

This is genuinely useful for the right kind of work. It's also a swamp you can sink hours into for no reason. This lesson is about doing the useful parts and skipping the swamp.
