Recap of Zap Automations

In the last guide, we introduced what a Zap automation is.

As a quick recap, a Zap is an automated workflow that connects your apps and services. Think of it like a recipe for your digital tasks. 

Just as a recipe combines ingredients to create a dish, a Zap combines different apps to automate a specific task. 

For the example automation in the last guide, we created a simple Zap that sent an email to Google Mail once a Google form had been completed. 

The email was just a simple email that was fixed and didn't change.

So how can we start improving our simple form to email Zap automation?
