A Zapier automation agency for reliable workflows.

It depends on the workflow. Zapier is the right choice for straightforward connections between popular apps — fast to set up, highly reliable, and well-supported. Make is better when the workflow needs conditional branching, multi-step data transformation, or looping logic. Hilvy uses both and recommends based on what the automation actually needs to do, not which platform is trendier.

A Zapier automation agency maps, builds, tests, and maintains workflows for businesses. Hilvy handles the full scope — process mapping, Zap architecture, field validation, edge-case testing, error notifications, and documentation — so your team understands what is running and how it supports the business.

Hilvy charges for the design and build work — Zapier subscription costs are separate and paid directly by you. We scope every workflow before starting and advise on the right Zapier plan based on expected monthly task volume before anything is agreed.

Zapier sends native error notifications to your email when a Zap fails. Hilvy also builds proper field validation and filter conditions into every Zap to reduce failure rates in the first place. Every Zap is documented — what it does, what triggers it, common failure modes — so diagnoses and fixes are fast.

Zapier supports multi-step Zaps with filters, delays, formatters, and path branching on paid plans. It handles most operational automation well. When a workflow needs more complex conditional logic — multiple branches, data aggregation, API connections with custom request bodies — Make is usually the better tool. Hilvy will be straight with you about which fits the use case.

Simple single-trigger Zaps can be built in a few hours. Multi-step workflows with filters and data formatting typically take one to two days including testing and documentation. Hilvy scopes every automation before starting — you'll have a clear timeline and cost before any work begins.
