Yes. Relay.app is a modern alternative to Zapier. Relay.app has deeper integrations, additional features, more flexibility, and better pricing.
Zapier is a better fit for some use cases, as a featureful workflow automation tool that has been around for a long time. For example, if you need an integration with a less commonly used app, Zapier may already have the one you need.

Just ran my first automation workflow with @relay !

I wanted to send newsletters from Outlook to Notion, and it was so easy I almost cried—after struggling and giving up with other tools like Make.

Huge thanks to @relay for empowering non-tech folks like me!

Relay is a fantastic app. I keep finding new uses for it everyday. I am not a programmer but I can make some really complicated work flows work pretty quickly.

@ImLucasGrey

Falling in love with @relay. Tried make and zapier and this uiux worked the simplest. It gets the job done.

Automated our waitlist collection and replying process.
Used gpt in the workflow to parse the replies to our waitlist email qtns & saved them into our notion database.

I truly appreciate how @relay presents testing info. You can easily see what you are testing, and the messages are very clear if there's an error.

They are definitely creating a fantastic tool!

Relay's "human in the loop" model is super effective for teams. Not only is this the best designed UI for automation building on the market, they've really thought about how not everything can be automated. Fantastic for building operationalized SOPs.

Finally getting a chance to explore @relay and wow, UX feels leaps ahead of Zapier/Make.

If you’re never heard of @relay you’re missing out BIG TIME.

Relay.app is an automation app that has been getting a lot of traction lately.
And for good reason.

What makes them unique on the market is their Human-In-The-Loop functionality.

This functionality basically allows your company to add intermediate manual steps that can add unique judgment, context, and perspective.
