Key takeaways

  • Make

Zapier

Easy to learn with a huge app library. Great for simple, linear automations.

Make

A visual builder that handles branching and data handling well, often at a lower cost for complex flows.

Our rule of thumb

Use native GoHighLevel workflows first, then add Zapier or Make only when you need outside apps.
