Do you ever spend too much time doing small repetitive tasks like copying data from email into a spreadsheet or manually moving files between folders?
We just posted a new course. freeCodeCamp.org A YouTube channel, led by instructor and developer Estafania, that will help you harness the power of automation to help you do everything you do.
Zapier is a no-code platform that allows you to connect and share information between the applications you use every day. The underlying philosophy is simple: “If it happens, do it”.
Stimulus: This is the “if that happens” part. This is a specific event in an app (like receiving a new lead in a form).
Process: This is the “do it” part. This is a task that Zapier automatically performs in another app (like sending a Slack notification or adding a row to a Google Sheet).
This four-hour course takes you from a complete beginner to an advanced user. You’ll start by setting up a free account and learning the basic building blocks of “Zap”. As you progress, you’ll be immersed in advanced, AI-enhanced features.
And for those who want to bridge the gap between AI and development, the course concludes with a deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You’ll learn how to configure MCP Server to share information from your apps with AI clients such as Visual Studio Code and Gemini CLI. It allows you to interact with your Google Calendar or GitHub repositories directly through an AI interface.
