Zapier lets you connect an app with thousands of other popular apps to automate your work. Zaps are workflows that link two or more apps together. Zap consists of two parts: a trigger and an action. A trigger is an event in an app that starts the Zap and the action is what the Zap does in response to the trigger.
The Zapier integration with Show lets you create a new presentation based on the triggers set in other apps. Say you are receiving an email on Zoho Mail and you want to create a presentation based on the details of the mail. You can set up a Zap to automate this workflow by linking Zoho Mail and Show using Zapier.
Here, receiving the email is the trigger and creating a presentation is the action.
With the Zapier integration with Show you can connect over 5000 apps with Show without writing a code.
