⚡ We've joined Zapier

Earlier this week we announced that Makerpad has joined Zapier. 🙌

Makerpad was started in 2019 as a way of showing people how to build things without needing to know how to code. Fast-forward to today, and no-code has grown bigger than I had imagined it could. This desire to push towards a future where people aren’t limited by a lack of coding knowledge, is a vision that unites both Makerpad and Zapier.

It goes without saying that Zapier is doing incredible things for technology. With a talented team of over 400 spread all over the globe, they have changed how the world works with tech. I couldn’t be more proud that Makerpad will now be working alongside them.

You can read more about our news on TechCrunch, Twitter, the Makerpad blog, and on Zapier.

Thank you for supporting and believing in Makerpad.

Create an automated job board created by Jelena Jovanovic. "A few days ago I made this tutorial on how you can create a job board website using only no-code tools. First I find jobs to list on my Webflow website and schedule the process to update the site with new jobs once a day. To get the jobs data, I will use Automatio, which is a very powerful no-code web automation and data extraction tool. It allows you to create bots visually, without writing a single line of code. The other tools that I will use in this guide are Google Sheets and Zapier."

Scaling operations in a fast growing business created by Luke Walker. "I published an article about scaling operations recently. The goal is to help business leaders scale internal operations in the face of rapid growth. I've seen what happens when companies can't scale their operations to keep up with the massive volume influx. The idea here is to catch forward-thinking business leaders before rapid growth causes issues and give them some basic guidelines for preparing their ops to scale with – you guessed it – no-code automation."
