As always with Packt>'s books, the final editing of the text is very neat. I don't know where they get the technicians capable of editing books on the latest technology, but they do it, and also consistently, as demonstrated in this last book I bought.

This book is a game-changer for anyone looking to increase the efficiency of their digital life. I found the material incredibly easy to understand, with step-by-step guides that made implementing automations a breeze. The author dives deep into Zapier's capabilities and offers real-world scenarios that have helped me see immediate results in my work. I bought the first edition and found that there is a lot more in this new edition including more content in the advanced features chapter (webhooks, code, app extensions and API requests). The new chapters on features and apps in beta, as well as automation and AI were particularly useful (and why I purchased the book). If you're looking to maximize productivity by automating repetitive tasks, then I would recommend buying this book!

"Automate It with Zapier and Generative AI" is a very comprehensive book with step-by-step details on how to use Zapier's plethora of features to save you time and effort as you automate your time-consuming manual work. Almost anything you would want to know about Zapier is included in the book, either with detailed examples or with links to resources for further information.I was especially interested in the chapter on how to leverage Generative AI to expand the processes you can automate and to increase the time and effort saved through the automation. Kelly Goss, the author, did a great job including information on the various ways that you can integrate Generative AI in your process automation efforts. Whether that be through taking advantage of new AI-powered Zapier features or integrating with OpenAI's ChatGPT, she walks you through examples of how to experiment and leverage the new capabilities.This book is a very thorough reference for using Zapier. Anyone who wants to become a Zapier power user should definitely read this book!

This is a great book for someone who wants a deep dive into Zapier. The book provides both the 'why' and 'how' of automating your workflow to boost business productivity. Even those of us who have used Zapier for years can get something out of it as she covers the new features, such as AI, interfaces, and tables. If you want to get the most of out Zapier, this is a must-have book. Happy automating!

“Automate It with Zapier and Generative AI” by Kelly Goss is a brilliant, comprehensive, step-by-step read on how to automate in business and if ‘technology floats your boat’ then it will also tick a lot of boxes in your personal world.One of the book’s strengths is that it is suited to self-paced learning, with screenshots describing each step. Chapter 19 is a smorgasbord of information tackling rapidly emerging AI technology, information on which is currently lacking, so this book fills that gap. If you’re up for challenging your learning then Chapter 25 ‘Challenging your Problem-Solving and Zap-Building Skills’ is a definite bookmark.Overall, “Automate it with Zapier and Generative AI” encourages analytical thinking and whets the appetite for more. This book is a real find, covering the nitty gritty of ‘how to do it yourself’ for Zapier and AI, and to be able to dip in and out of it for reference, is an added bonus.This book is an excellent choice for absolute beginners through to an advanced level, as there is so much packed into the 654 pages – it’s like having your own expert at your fingertips.I would strongly recommend anybody wanting to up their game with automating their lives to get a copy of this book.
