      Zapier provides automation service between different platforms, such as “if it rains tomorrow, send me an alert to take an umbrella”

      Used to be quite popular a few years ago, maybe not so much nowadays

      It’s comparable to IFTTT or (now defunct) Yahoo Pipes. “Event on service A triggers action on service B” type stuff.

      For example, I use Zapier for things like webhooks on Discord: watching an RSS feed and having it post new updates into a Discord channel.

      You could just as easily have it watch, say, a weather site for area and push that to your email (or Pushover account, etc). Or alert you that an item you want is on sale. And so on.
