Getting the most out of the Zapier app ecosystem directory

In the previous part of this chapter, we discussed how to use the magnifying glass icon in the top menu bar to search for your app. Another place to do this is from within the app ecosystem directory. The app ecosystem directory is not only useful for searching for your existing apps, but it also serves to direct you if your app does not have an integration with Zapier. Most importantly, the app directory is a comprehensive resource to help you find apps that you may want to start using in your business.

The app directory can be found via the top menu navigation on information pages, as described in Chapter 1, Introduction to Business Process Automation with Zapier. It can also be found using the following URL: https://zapier.com/apps.

Let's start by familiarizing ourselves with the app directory.
