Codeless Automation: IFTTT vs Zapier vs Microsoft Flow
Automating your routine, day-to-day tasks has never been easier. These tools allow you to connect your apps and build automated workflows to be more productive. I use these to avoid dull manual things so I can spend my time on better things.

Check out what you can do. You’ll be amazed by how easy it is.
