SWOT Analysis
- Largest app connector library: 7,000+ integrations covering every niche SaaS tool
- Zero-code interface accessible to any non-technical employee
- 2.2M+ customers and massive user community driving template creation

- Zapier Tables and Interfaces moving into lightweight app building
- Enterprise adoption path for power users who start on individual tier
